After reading all the best-selling books by Sara Shepard and watching the show on ABC Family religiously, I've decided to dedicate Special Edition blog post to Pretty Little Liars. Take the quiz on Alloy. com to find out which PLL you are and then I'll help you figure out how to best "steal" their style. So which will you be, upstanding and classic like Spencer, sporty yet stylish like Emily, fashion forward and trendsetting like Hannah, or unique and individual like Aria? Take the quiz to find out: http://www.alloy.com/quizzes/take/789/0/2/0/
So You're Aria:
You're smart, quirky, and gorgeous...oh and you've probably have a hottie constantly on your arm. GO YOU!!! But as everyone who watches the show knows Aria's style is all her own. She mixes vintage inspired pieces with trends that are ahead of the time. She rarely cares about what people might say about her outfit and she can amp up the sexy when she needs too. In order to make Aria's style you own stock up on vintage pieces. Thrift stores are often the best place to find one-of-a-kind vintage clothes and accessories. Mix and match your vintage with clothes that are edgy and tap into your creative side. Aria is also known for pairing contrasting pieces of clothing like a flowy babydoll style dress with a pair of Frye boots. When it comes to emulating Aria's unique sense of style the world is your playground so get out there and have fun!!!
Congratulations!!! You're Spencer:
You're an ambitious, leader and often overachiever. You work hard and you ALWAYS get what you want. Spencer's sense of style is classic and chic. Spencer loves high end designers, but how do you get her style if you can't afford the newest Kate Spade messenger bag? Look for classic pieces by less expensive designers of course. Make sure your closet is full of cardigans, skinny jeans, blazers and button down shirts for fall. Jackets are often the finishing touch to any outfit Spencer wears. Be sure to shop for tweed jackets, wool peacoats (always in neutral colors, like navy or black) and the ever classic trench coat. Stores like Forever21 have the perfect styles that you may be looking for at a low price point. Also be sure to check out stores like Banana Republic and Jcrew.
Hello, Hanna:
You're a Diva with a capital "D". You always have to have the best of the best and popular is your middle name. You're fashion forward and STYLISH!!! You know where to buy the latest designer duds and how to make any outfit look flawless. Okay so maybe you wish you're style was as effortless as this Pretty Little Liar's but don't worry you'll get there. Hanna is all about the latest trend and the perfect outfit. She reads magazines like Vogue, Teen Vogue and Vanity Fair like they're The Bible. In order to recreate Hanna's style you're going to have to be just as fashion forward. Check out websites like Vogue.com for inspiration. The good news is that you don't have own designer labels to get this Queen Bee's style. Shopping at stores like Bebe, Express and Guess will put you on the right track. Pick pieces that are similar to what you see in fashion magazines and on websites. Just don't become a fashion victim and try to wear too many trendy pieces at once. Oh and best of all you get to focus most on shoes and accessories. Shoes are the crown jewel of Hanna's outfits so find a trendy shoe and pair it with some classic skinny jeans and a simple but cute top.
Sporty Chic Emily:
You're more likely to be found afterschool at sports practice than hanging at the mall with your friends. You work hard to please the people who mean most to you especially your family. You like your style to be laid back and you don't necessarily feel the need to stand out in a crowd. Emily's style is cute and athletic. Though she doesn't always show off her shapely swimmers' body she knows exactly how to blend her girly side with her athletic side. This doesn't mean you need to only live your life in sports related t-shirts or track suites. When dressing like Emily choose items that are simple and girly. Pair you pumas with a cute pink shirt. Or rock and oversized t-shirt or sweatshirt with an asymmetrical neckline (think JLo in her Flashdance sweatshirt, only more updated) and some skinny jeans or leggings. If you want to dress up for a fun night out with the girls go more girly. Ruffles and frills are a must as well as pretty pastels for summer or deep greens and blues for the fall. In episodes where Emily is shown in dresses, her dresses are often short and show off her toned legs. Emily also brings out her girly side by wear lots of different colored nail polish. In more recent episodes she's been wearing mint green polish (a personal favorite). For fall pick colors that are neutral or even nude tones. Navy and deep red are always safe bets and will keep you in touch with your feminine side whether you're swimming laps in the pool or running from A's dirty secrets.
Ali, the Queen Bee:
You're the leader of your group of friends and you let nothing and no one stand in the way of you getting what you want. You're outspoken and may be no strange to secrets and scandal. Though not much is known about Ali in the show you are often given a peek into her sense of style. Her sense of style is the kind that every guy admires and every girl adores. So how do you become a Queen Bee like Ali? Start by taking on pieces from each of the other Liars. Ali's style is often mimicked by her friends. Her classic style is taken on by Spencer, her love of fashion and the hottest trends can be seen in Hanna. Ali's daring attitude can be seen in the outfits Aria often wears and her girly and competitive side can be seen most in Emily. When recreating Ali's style pick and choose pieces from all the Liars. The key to capturing Ali's style is confidence. Being the Queen Bee Ali exudes confidence in everything she does.With Ali you have the ability to create a unique style that's all your own just be sure to be confident in your choices.
