5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Sarah Jessica Parker

24 Oct 5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Sarah Jessica Parker

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.

I have this problem. I save magazines. Not all magazines. Just special editions, September issues, and covers featuring Sarah Jessica Parker (the image above is from one of my favorite covers she did for Glamour). I’m almost positive that this started around the time that I really bonded with Sex and the City. I’ve never really been able to seperate Sarah from her character Carrie Bradshaw.

1. Fashion isn’t a Luxury.

So remember wayy back when Steve & Barry’s existed? SJP had a line there called Bitten, if I’m not mistaken nothing was over like $25 or something. I had to have this t-shirt with the saying ‘Fashion isn’t a Luxury.’ Because, well, it isn’t. It’s a neccessity. Your armor for the world. Do you agree?

2. Think Pink!

I love that Sarah Jessica doesn’t shy away from wearing the color pink. She uses it as an accent with shoes or a bag. Pink coats also seem to be a favorite. Oh, and can’t forget that she isn’t afraid to pair pink with red for a bit of a color blocking statement.

3. Cuffin’ Season

Not that cuffin’ season, this is talking about what you do with the hem of your pants. I love that SJP is short and still cuffs her pants because it shows me that you don’t have to be a tall, leggy model to pull this off. I can’t think of a recent time that I didn’t roll the bottoms of my pants. Now, I will say this though, there is a difference between cuffing and rolling your pants. You have to be careful with the cuff, do it too thick and it could veer into farmer
territory. I’m just sayin’.

5. A Women’s Right To Shoes…

Do you remember the Sex and the City episode by the same name, about being shoe-shamed for how much that Carrie spent on her footwear? It’s clear that Sarah Jessica Parker subscribes to the same notion that a woman deserves a good pair of shoes. One might even venture and say that it’s her favorite thing to wear?
