Two weeks ago when my parents were visiting, we went shopping at Nordstrom. My mom and I were combing through some racks when she said, "Oh, I like that girl's skirt. Chelsey isn't her skirt cool? Chelsey, isn't that Hayden Panettiere?" I looked up and lo and behold- it was. And you know what? She did indeed have a very cool skirt on. I am an actress and I have worked as an extra on the set of ABC's Nashville; I have seen & conversed with Ms. Panettiere a couple times before, however I have never seen her "off duty" look. She looked different not all made up, still pretty, still tan.
Would you believe that not four days later, when Rachel and I were wondering around taking pics for the What's Haute in Hillsboro post, Clare Bowen (also starring in Nashville) walked right past me! By the time I told Rachel I had spotted Clare (how very Gossip Girl of me), Ms. Bowen had disappeared. Dejected, because I had wanted to take a pic for the Patti Cake Fashion Post we decided to stop in Hot & Cold for a consoling popsicle. Another lo and behold, Clare Bowen was sitting in there with only me and Rachel! I totally chickened out and didn't ask. So we just sat there, two tables away, giggling and eating our popsicles.

The Point: Both Hayden Panettiere and Clare Bowen's "off duty" looks had this lovely, flowy, prairie chic vibe going on. Hayden had a long, ivory skirt on that can be described as a combination of the two skirts pictured below sans the 90's belt. She was wearing ivory/white from head to toe. Clare had a shorter, handkerchief styled skirt on with an ivory macramé sweater over it and her hair twisted into a simple bun on top. Since I didn't get pics with either one, I decided to channel my inner desperado/ boho starlet and recreate their look myself. That's just as cool as getting pics with them right??? Right....
Tank: Anthropologie (last year) Macrame sweater: my mom's from the 70's,
Kept make-up simple. Eyeshadow in snakebite from the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara in Black. Garnier skin Renew Anti- Dark circle roller for under my eyes, obvi. Bobbie Brown Bronzing Powder in natural. Sephora clear gloss on lips, though I think most of it had worn off by the time of this photo. haha
I will leave you with this quick Hayden interview, she's working with the Cotton people.
She describes her Nashville style
I really like the look, how the colors all match and it looks like just one piece. My favorite is the sweater...too bad I can't go out and buy it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it reminds me of crochet and I'm scared I would get teased by my friends who call me a grandma for doing it. Do you have any tips to stand up to bullies?
I do!!! Wear it anyway, be proud, and can you please crochet me a sweater? Bc I think that would be "the shizit" Graaandma!
