Emily Maynard Inspired Fashion: Chambray, Jersey Knit, & Pearls

You guys, I, like many of you other females out there, LOVE watching The Bachelorette. I know. I know. I used to say it was my guilty pleasure… now I just say it’s my pleasure.

I just can’t look away.

But this season, one of the reasons I really couldn’t look away is because I seriously was in love with like 99.999999% of EVERYTHING Emily wore this season.

She would come on the TV and I’d yell, “OH MY GOLLY I LOVE THAT.” It was a regular occurrence. But, of course, most of what she was wearing was SUPER expensive and way out of my budget range.

HOWEVER, on the finale on Sunday, this Chambray + Red Maxi combo was the first outfit she wore – she was in it for MAYBE a total of two minutes, but the second I saw it I said: “OH MY GOLLY I LOVE THAT.”

AND I knew I could recreate it and put my own spin on it using what I already have in my closet!

I LOVED the relaxed look of the jersey maxi with the casual chambray – but I REALLY loved that she classed it up with a big ol’ strand of pearls. That’s a North Carolina girl for you!

So, here is my Emily Maynard inspired outfit!

[Chambray: JCrew (via consignment shop – purchase here, here, here, Red & White Chevron Skirt: Old Navy (on sale for $15 here!), Pearls: Old… costume jewelry actually… (similar here), Watch: Target (similar here), Sunnies: Target (purchase here)]

I don’t own a jersey knit maxi dress like the one Emily was wearing in the photo, but I do own this chevron jersey knit Old Navy skirt (the one I got for $5!) – so I paired the closest thing I have with my trusty chambray, my old costume pearl necklace, and my favorite Rainbow flippy-floppies.

I felt casual, comfortable, and as Emily Maynard as I can get. Sans veneeers. And a Jef with one F. I think she has veneers. Otherwise she has DANG near-perfect teeth. Jef definitely has only one F in his name. I still maintain that he looks like Rick Astley.

I mean, come on. Jef’s never gonna give her up. Or let her down. He’s never gonna run around and desert her.

Seriously. LOOK. The similarities are uncanny. AM I RIGHT?!

Anyway. Are you a Bachelorette fan? Do you at least love the fashion? What about Jef with one F? No? Bueller? Rick Astley? Wanna be Rick Roll’d again?

  4. I never really got into the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows…which is surprising because pretty much anything else that’s a reality tv train wreck has me written all over it…I did see a couple episodes this season and Jef does look just like Rick Astley!! HAHAHAHA!

  14. I love this! You look so adorable. 😉 And not really any kind of reality tv fan. Although I do love that Rick Astley song. (Did he actually ever sing anything else?) 😉 🙂 Too funny. Happy tuesday, pretty lady!

  18. Your blog posts are so fun to read, seriously you are so cute and hilarious! I love this look though, and I must admit I like it better than the look you used for inspiration 🙂 The chevron pattern on your skirt makes the look more fun, and of course the costume jewelry! 🙂

  20. I love this!! I’m so bad about recreating looks I see on celebs. But this is perfect. You’ve let her inspire your very own look and I love it! You should totally tweet this to her. Maybe she’ll comment on your blog and you can be a little bit famous! lol
