Celebrity Redo: Drew Barrymore

What is up with Drew’s closet lately? Yes, she’s gorgeous and has great style, but it seems like her outfits have gone from cool and quirky to down right silly. While this outfit isn’t terrible, it’s still a “off.” The skinny jeans are overly rolled up and the shirt is totally shapeless. I kept within her outfit’s “theme” but swapped out her button down for a more flattering scoop neckline that ties at the side. I also kept her skinny jeans but threw in some fierce white platform sandals. Hope you like it! What do you think of Drew’s outfit?

Celebrity Redo: Britney Spears

Either Britney doesn’t have a stylist or she shares the same one with Jessica Simpson! While she exudes that perfect blend of adorable and sexy, it’s hard not to be mean when it comes to her sense of style (and being mean is just not my style!). So, I’ll just get right to the redo. I switched her shorts for white skinny jeans and added a plaid jacket to maintain a theme for the outfit. To round things out I gave her some pumps and a funky clutch. Best thing about the outfit is that it’s all under $100! What do you think of Britney’s fashion sense? How would you have dressed her?

Celebrity Redo: Jessica Simpson

Who is her stylist? How can you be so beautiful, yet rarely photographed wearing anything flattering? This outfit is just flat out wrong for her! Not only is it too loud, but it hides one of Jessica’s strongest features – her curves. For the redo, I switched the tunic Jessica is wearing for a v-neck tunic with an empire waist (this will pull attention to her waist and provide a long, lean look). Then I added a pair of much needed shorts. The shorts need to be a little longer otherwise they will get lost under the tunic. Lastly, the shoes and bag had to go: The ankle strapped sandals make her legs appear short and the bag, while cute, is way too overwhelming for any outfit with dominating patterns (I would have used the bag for a simple white dress or a pair of jeans and a tank). Which do you like better: Original or Redo? How would you have dressed her?
