Kate Reed Inspired Bold & Bright

It is no secret that I have a serious girl crush on Kate Reed from the television show Fairly Legal. Her fabulous wardrobe choices are constantly influencing for my own wardrobe choices for work. So when this week's "Friday's Fancies" theme was declared Punchy Primary, I knew exactly where to pull my inspiration.

Spring Showers | Kate Reed Inspired

Do you all love Fairly Legal as much as I do? I am seriously obsessed. Admittedly, my favorite part of the show might be Kate Reed's wardrobe. She rocks a signature black trench, bold pops of color, and a fabulous shoe collection. As we launch into the season of spring showers, she is the perfect inspiration for commuting to work in the rain. I get to walk in the lovely weather, so keeping my feet dry is a must. I almost always wear a dress, I strive for bright cheery colors to combat the grey skies, and I grab a cozy cardigain incase I get a chill in the office. Now, if only I have the shoe budget for a pair of wellies to match each bold print dress! Here are some outfits I would pull together ala-Kate Reed.

one: trench / dress / shoes | two: trench / dress / shoes | three: trench / dress / shoes

What do you wear to work in the rain?

p.s. I know that tan trench coats are the classic, but I have had my black trench for 10 years and it has remained my trusty all weather standby. If you are debating between tan and black, I vote for black all the way!

Linking up to Long Distance Loving for Friday's Fancies.

She's Baaaack! Kate Reed Returns for Season 2!

In just 10 short days, the second season of my new favorite show, Fairly Legal, begins on USA. Friday, March 16, we are guarantees to be once again wowed by Kate Reed's fashion. Played by Sarah Shahi, the lawyer turned meadiator rocks an incredible wardrobe.  The promos alone have inspired me to brighten up my work attire. Think bright colors, bold patterns, and perfect tailoring. You can get a quick Kate Reed makeover by flipping through the J.Crew Spring 2012 catalog. Here are a few pieces that I selected based on the few show clips available.

Until then, here is a peak at last season's inspirations.  

Kate Reed Inspiration: Cross Hatch Dress

It is no secret that I love the character Kate Reed from Fairly Legal.  Her style is effortlessly chic.  Although I do not believe she actually gets ready on her boat every morning and still manages to look this good!

You can look effortlessly chic now too...

Wardrobe Inspiration: Fairly Legal

I have not adopted a new favorite TV show in years!  But a Fairly Legal, a new series from USA has got me hooked.

The series is comic, witty, talked intelligently about realistic issues and most importantly, fashionable.  I have fallen head over heals for the main character, Kate Reed's wardrobe.  Leading me to wonder, can I replicate her hollywood-ized outfits with real life clothing?!  Yes!  Check it out:
