The Kate Factor: Kate Hudson

Time for another Kate-inspiration! I know I know, it's been months since my last (first) Kate Factor. I was beginning to forget about it! 

So, today I am doing Kate Hudson. She is my other favorite Kate. She is most famous for her roles in Almost Famous, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and my personal favorite, Bride Wars. Kate Hudson is most often seen wearing very boho chic, casual outfits. She sticks to neutral colors and flared jeans.

 My interpretation:

Sweater: Maurice's // Tank (Both): Wet Seal // Jeans: American Eagle // Belt: Charlotte Russe // Shoes: Kmart // Necklace: Lia Sophia

Boho chic used to be "my look". I've always loved browns and greens and lots of jewelry, etc. When I cut my hair I felt like I couldn't really pull it off anymore, but I'm realizing that may not be the case. So, thank you, Kate Hudson, for convincing me to try again and falling back in love with some things in my closet. 

The Kate Factor: Kate Beckinsale

Today I am starting my new feature, The Kate Factor. A few months ago, I talked about doing this feature. Outfits inspired by my favorite Kate's. Today, I decided to start with my most favorite Kate, Kate Beckinsale. Many of you probably know her from the Underworld movies, along with Serendipity, Click and Van Helsing.

Kate Beckinsale is known for her simply chic outfits and muted color palette. You will most often find her in black's, grey's and navy's. She tends to stick to leggings or skinny jeans and boots. She has a great casual-chic look.

My interpretation: 

Shirt: Wal-Mart // Skirt: Target // Tights: Target // Leg Warmers: Kmart // Boots: Target

 I decided on this outfit inspiration because I wanted something that was a little more of a challenge. If there is one thing that I'm not very good at, it's wearing all black. I always want to add a bit of color. I did add a little bit of interest by wearing a striped shirt instead of the plain black, but it was still a big leap for me. I learned that it's not as scary as I originally thought, so I may start trying it more often. It can be very chic.

P.S. The lighting in the school library is awful and I apologize for not having a better place to take pictures!
