Steal her Style: Larissa Loughlin


Last week’s post featured a number of items from the wardrobe of the CW’s new, younger Carrie Bradshaw. This week’s comes from the same series but in the form of English wild card Larissa Loughlin, played by Freema Agyeman. Again a piece from H&M, this dress wasn’t one that I particularly liked when it was in store last season, having seen it reworked on the small screen has not only made me wish I’d bought the dress, but inspired me to rework some pieces from my own wardrobe.
 

Larissa wore the dress to a Halloween party in Manhattan and reworked it with a feather waistcoat, a feathered hat and bright pink eyelash extensions to complete her look as a ‘Bird of Paradise’. Considering most of the guests at the party were dressed in provocative underwear and masquerade masks (With the exception of Carrie and Walt who went as Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles respectively), Larissa was undoubtedly the best dressed of the episode.



As with last week’s pieces, the dress is now sold out in store. However a few can still be found on eBay. Whilst it is not the most versatile of dresses Agyemans character shows that with just a few simple touches a statement dress like this can be used for more than just one occasion.
