Inspired by… Confessions of a Shopaholic

Fashion Inspired by Confessions of a Shopaholic

The final inspiring movie on my list of 10 More Movies for Fashion Inspiration is the 2009 film Confessions of a Shopaholic. The movie follows the life a Rebecca Bloomwood (played by Isla Fisher), a journalist with a penchant for shopping. Unfortunately, her love for fashion lands her deep in debt and she somehow finds herself working at a magazine giving out financial advice.

Shopaholic Style

The wardrobe in this film– styled by Patricia Field of Sex and the City fame– has a fashion-forward, over-the-top flair. Rebecca is not afraid to take a fashion risk and her outfits are all about layering lots of bright colors and bold fabrics all at once. Most of her outfits are her own super-fashionable versions of business casual. She also wears tons of fabulous shoes, bags and accessories throughout the movie.

If you’re a fashionista who wants to emulate Rebecca Bloomwood’s bold sense of style, check out these 3 outfits inspired by Confessions of a Shopaholic:

Outfit #1: Savvy and Stylish

Shopaholic Outfit 1

Product Information: Ring- ASOS, Blouse- gojane.com, Clutch- Spiegal, Shoes- DSW, Skirt- Dorothy Perkins, Belt- Charlotte Russe

This outfit showcases a great way to wear bright colors: against a basic black pencil skirt. A ruffled pink blouse makes a bold statement, especially when paired with some lighter pink heels. Accessorize with a dark purple clutch and matching purple cocktail ring. Instead of adding a typical black belt, define your middle with a neutral-colored belt instead.

Outfit #2: Summer Inspired

Confessions of a Shopaholic Outfit

Product Information: Top- ModCloth, Skirt- J. Crew, Necklace- Oasis, Flats- Forever 21, Belt- Nordstrom

This outfit is perfect for warmer weather; it’s colorful, fun, and sophisticated, yet still casual enough for daytime. To start, I paired a purple skirt with a lightweight pale yellow top for contrast. Next, I added a skinny purple belt to pull the two pieces together. Finally, I chose a fun coral necklace and matching flats to complete this breezy, vibrant outfit.

Outfit #3: Rainbow Bright

Rebecca Bloomwood Outfit

Product Information: Cardigan- Piperlime, Dress- Forever 21, Clutch- ASOS, Belt- Bloomingdale’s, Pumps- Wet Seal

Adding some bright colors to a bold, monochromatic dress is a great way to channel Rebecca Bloomwood’s style. Rebecca adds belts to almost every outfit, so buckle a wide turquoise belt over this printed dress. Yellow accessories– like the clutch and pumps– complement the turquoise. Finish the outfit with a lightweight long cardigan for balance and warmth.

Feelin’ Inspired?

    Looking through old posts inspired by movies, I came across this article and thought it’s so relevant to trends right now. These are such great examples of colorblocking (which wasn’t the original intention lol).

    I can really recomment reading the books. i have never laught so much, especially because it is one of the books i have read together with my boarding school friend. (we read it together at school, but now we just read it, and talk about funny parts in the phone… we get the exact same pictures in our heads)…. and the movie is nice too, one of the reasons is all the clothes

    I prefer the clothes in the movie, but I think I would just interpret them to me in different ways. I am so glad you mentioned this movie though, very inspiring!

    Personally, I find the clothes she wears in the movie really tacky, but I guess that’s part of it being over the top. The outfits though, like Yvonne said, seem totally wearable and are actually pretty cute!

    I loved this movie! I loved all the bright colors. But I didn’t like Patricia Field’s styling in this movie (or the SATC movie, either). I guess she was going for the “dressed in the dark” look. But too many patterns and colors clash here and there, and just because all of the articles of clothing are designer names, it doesn’t mean it will work if you throw it all together. But if well coordinated, wearing an outfit that utilizes the bright hues like in this movie will look awesome for the summer.

    nice outfit selections! I’m in love with this movie as well!!

    but i kinda think that these looks are too old for college students but may look nice on post-grad.

    Oufit #1 is fabulous. The other two are a little too loose-fitting for me.

    if you swap the pink heels for basic black pumps, and a black bag to match, the first outfit would be very work appropriate. Nice work!

    The reason I love bright colors (and lots of bright colors in one outfit) is this movie! It’s so inspirational. And the outfit inspirations you gave are fabulous! I especially love outfit number 1 and 3. x)
