What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear

With Labor Day fast approaching, today is "Closet Moving Day" at my house. I'm moving the white shoes, Jack Rogers, patent leather shoes, and all my open-toed shoes to the back side of the closet and out comes my suede and dark colored shoes. Of course, all my white clothes will be put away till next Easter, as well as madras, linen, and seersucker.

When I look at my Fall/Winter wardrobe, it's kinda boring. It's all black, black, and more black...with a few bright colored cardigans thrown in. So, I've been thinking about what I want to buy for the new season and well...my usual haunts are not exciting me at all.

Then, I found this site--What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear. Lord have mercy, I LOVE these clothes. Emma Pillsbury {played by Jayma Mays} stars on the hit TV show Glee. She's a germaphobic guidance counselor at the ficticious McKinley High. Like me, Emma loves prim and proper and ladylike clothing. She has a very unique style by pairing together bow blouses, straight skirts, cardigans, brooch pins, fabulous necklaces, Peter Pan collared blouses, and cardi clips. Her style is a little bit JCrew with some vintage classic thrown in.

What I really like about her style is that it can be affordable...not a $250 dress that you will see on every single blog!

I am now obsessed with the cardi clips...Emma's signature accessory. I already have tons of cardis and the clips are perfect to jazz up the look!

Emma also wears the most fantastic necklaces and Etsy is a great source for affordable vintage pieces.
LOVE this one!
Another accessory that she loves and rocks...the brooch pin. Again, Etsy is the spot to find these.
I love that she loves the bow blouse. These are totally me and you can bet I'm on the hunt for some cute ones.
Here she is wearing a bow blouse and a bow skirt...these bow skirts are hard to find, but oh-so cute!
To complete Emma's look, I must bite the bullet and buy some 2+ inch Mary Janes. Lord have mercy, I am not a high-heel person, but these are a must to achieve Emma's style.
Is she not the cutest thing ever? Stylish, perfectly polished, and proper!

So, I'm off to continue my online search {starting with eBay, Etsy, and Mod Cloth} for all the pieces I need to tie a couple of outfits together! Thank you for visiting with me today.
