25 Apr 5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Kerry Washington’s Character Olivia Pope on ABC’S Scandal

Here on The City, we are all about cultivating personal style, luckily, we can look to some of our favorite celebrities for a few style lessons.

2. You Don’t Have To Be So Loud.

Everything surrounding Olivia is nondescript. Where she works, where she lives. Even the way that she dresses is luxe in an understated way. Sometimes, I think that you have to stomp to be heard when breaking new ground but walking softly gets the job done. And gracefully, I might add.

4. Find A Color Palette That Works.

Olivia is usually sporting muted colors that again embrace her femininity. I’m sure that was a conscious decision on her part to offset her no nonsense attitude. I like to balance things out with colors, too, if that makes sense. How do you like to use color in your wardrobe?

5. Be Ready For Whatever–Literally. 

Olivia needs to be ready for whatever at a moment’s notice so she needs a look that can take her there plus or minus a few pieces. It’s actually a good way to dress. My mom used to–she does, actually–used to ask what if you have to walk somewhere? Or the car gets a flat? Usually because I had on super high heels without a coat. Kind of like that. What will you do if plans suddenly change?

Who else is LIVING for Olivia/Kerry? I love her and this show! I cannot wait to see the new episode tomorrow. Will you be watching?
