Getting Hooked on Aubrey’s Style
Last Tuesday night I was scrolling Instagram when Aubrey Plaza popped up in this killer black pantsuit. My brain went BRRRR – I need to know all her outfit secrets. Pulled up every red carpet pic since like 2010. Seriously sat there saving 20+ photos till my phone storage screamed.
How I Dissected Her Looks
Grabbed my notebook and started scribbling patterns:
- Texture warfare: That time she wore silky blouse with rough tweed trousers? Genius. I tried copying with my satin cami and dad’s old wool blazer – instant cool points at brunch.
- Color rebellion: Remember her emerald green jumpsuit with orange heels? Sorted my closet by color like a freak. Found my purple skirt and threw on yellow slides – looked like tropical fruit but damn it worked.
- “Who me?” accessories: Dug through my jewelry box for weird statement pieces like she does. Wore my broken compass necklace backwards for that clueless rich aunt vibe.
The Shit That Backfired
Tried recreating her metallic trench coat look with my emergency rain poncho – ended up looking like discarded gum wrapper. Some combos require $$$ I don’t have. Also learned that wearing clashing prints needs confidence levels I only achieve after 3 coffees.
Making It Mine
Stopped copying exact pieces and focused on her attitude. Key takeaways:
- Own the awkwardness: Her slouchy shoulders? Total power move. Now I lean against walls like tired flamingo – suddenly people think I’m mysterious.
- Destroy categories: Paired my ratty gym shorts with fancy beaded top for grocery run. Got compliment from cashier who usually ignores me.
- Clothes as weapons: Wore all-black moody outfit to boring work meeting. Sat silently judging everyone while rotating my wonky chair. Became office cryptid within hours.
Final Verdict
Aubrey’s style isn’t about specific brands – it’s controlled chaos. Now when I get dressed I ask: would Plaza wear this to haunt a luxury hotel? If yes, outfit unlocked. My wardrobe went from basic beige to glorious dumpster fire. 10/10 would fashion crisis again.
