ometimes when I get dressed in the morning I check my myself in the mirror and I’m like ‘Dude. What up Jess Day???’. I think it’s because I have this weird fringe that appeared from nowhere from my choppy hair do and sometimes I wear glasses if my eyes start wigging out from too much computer time.
It pleases me to channel Ms Day because I freaking love that show and Zooey Deschanel is a little rays of sunshine who makes the world a better place. Here’s my unintentional tribute to the New Girl from last week.
Wearing Boom Shankar dress, Country Road cardigan and Merrell ballet flats (plus tights and a lot of layers when I left the house!)
I nutted out exactly how to dress like Jess from The New Girl and here are the main points you need to consider…

Buy all the cardigans
Seriously, it’s ALL about the cardigans. If an adorable librarian would wear it, so would Jess.
Go nuts on the ballet flats
Jess very rarely wears high heels and she always looks cute as a button. To get the Jess look, go hard on the ballet flats.
Always wear dresses
I wear jeans almost never, same as Jess, so obviously we should be best friends forever. Jess generally wears dresses in a 50s style with an A-line cut that end just above her knees. Paired with a cardigan and pair of bad-ass flats you’ll look good enough to eat.

Do you watch The New Girl? Are you a bit of a Zooey Deschanel fan?

I love Zooey. She was the best part of the movie Failure to Launch, except perhaps for gazing at Matthew McConaughey. Never heard of The New Girl, so going to add that to my list to watch. I also love a good cardy – but I like them short and buttoned. Long flappy ones sometimes for cosiness at home – but the flappy drapey bits always get messy if I’m in the kitchen. xx

Isn’t it wonderful to have a character embracing flats! Gotta love a cute pair of flats!

I LOVE it! I used to wear heels all the time because I lived in Canberra and drove everywhere, now I live in Melbourne and walk everywhere I live in flats. Love them.

I never wear skirts, but I used to when I worked out of the house, now that I run my small business from my home and rarely meet clients I just wear pants – boring.

It’s so funny isn’t it? I have friends that exclusively wear pants… my body just isn’t made for pants. My torso is too long so they’re always very low rise on me and they just never fit right.
