Style Stalker | Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo has her finger on the pulse of all things fashion. From cool girl street style to red carpet ready, this style icon is my favorite style muse to stalk. I mean I could sit here all day in front of my computer drooling over Olivia Palermo’s style. But instead I took a close look at what she wears to break down what us mere mortals can afford and lets be real, the vast majority of us don’t have the same stylish and fashionable social calendar as she does. And let’s be really real, not all of Olivia Palermo looks are right for the everyday streets of Southern California.

Some of Olivia’s looks are easy to down right copy and others need a few affordable tweaks. The first set of denim looks are pretty easy to copy. Most of us have some form of them currently in our closets. Sometimes, actually most of the time, it’s just about changing up our styling. Yes, I know I’m a broken record.

I’m sure we all have a random purse and pair of shoes we purchased for a specific reason and they just collect dust. Pull them out, style them back to denim on denim and give your novelty accessories a chance to shine.

Do you have a coat taking up room in your closet? Pull it out and try it over a light weight blouse, your favorite jeans & booties. Change out your leather jacket for a coat.

Florals and stripes paired back to a white blazer and jeans-polished off duty perfection. Styling Tip: Trade out your boyfriend jeans for faux or real leather legging for a girls night out or change out the boyfriend jeans for a pair of slacks, tuck in the top and wear this look to work. See, there are so many styling options.

Went out on a limb and bought a crazy jacket? Simply pair it back to something simple like denim on denim or a white top and black bottoms.

Ok so I don’t know about you but I don’t have the budget for trendy leather culottes, but these looks are great examples of simply trading the pieces of leather for denim.
