How to Dress like Carrie Bradshaw

So if youre anything like me, youve seen pretty much all the Sex and the City series episodes and dashed out to see SATC 1 and 2 the movie. And now youre obsessed. Not nesecarily with the storyline but with the amazingly decadent clothing and shoes on offer. Completely and utterly obsessed- looks over shoulder and googles- SATC fashion- yep thats me (guilty!)

Which is why we decided to give you a few tips on how to dress like Carrie Bradshaw, and yes I know youre thinking shes a fictional character- but girls, this is someone who have seen us through the worst of man trouble and taught us- you need to be able to see your money- hanging in your closet.

Dont be afraid to experiment with colours:

Carrie has frequently been seen wearing bright colours and pairing different shades of an item with each other. If youre still a bit apprehensive of colour- try one bright item in a bag or scarve- see how you feel, if you feel comfortable enough try a pair of shoes or a belt.
Colours that works well together are:
Pink/navy
Pink/green
Red/Green
Yellow/green

Fabrics with prints is an excellent choice as you can match your accesories with a colour from the print

Carrie is always feminine in what she wears:

Carrie loves pairing her outfit with ultra-feminine pearls and luxury jewellery.
These sexy gloves and over the knee stockings as pictured above is a great way of transforming any outfit to something a bit more edgy and up to date.

Carrie is mostly seen a sky scraper heels- and we all know ho heels can make you do that cute little wiggle when walking.

Carrie loves dresses- well ALL the SATC girls loves it, in fact.

The girls absolutely loves wearing dresses, in any shape or form.
I know its winter by us in Cape Town, but why not pair your favourite summer print dress with lush tights and a boyfriend cardigan- you can even add a vintage thin belt for a bit of waist definition.

And last but not least be yourself:
