The Friend you wish would share her wardrobe.

There may not be algebra in real life, but Audrey’s style and attitude can inspire us all.

 

 

7. Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara, Heathers

They share the same name and the same iconic style.

11. Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

She has her outfits in check even when battling forces of evil.

 

 

12. Fran Fine, The Nanny

Take notes: she can keep track of three kids without wearing sweatpants once.

 

 

13. Jackie Burkhart, That ‘70s Show

“I am not insecure! This is a designer sweater, this is designer eye shadow and those are designer shoes, and they make me feel INCREDIBLY secure!” 

 

 

14. Betty Draper, Mad Men

Betty proves that women can shoot guns while being glamorous.

 

 

15. Rebecca Bloomwood, Confessions of a Shopaholic

She may have racked up major credit card debt, but with THAT wardrobe, can you blame her?

 

 

16. Andie Walsh, Pretty in Pink

Even though she shouldn’t have ended up with Blane in the end, her design skills are impeccable.

 

 

17. Debora, Baby Driver

Debora’s music taste isn’t all she has going for her.

 

 

18. Emily Charlton, The Devil Wears Prada

She may not have been the main character, but she was certainly the best-dressed.

 

 

19. June Miller, Henry & June

The soundtrack to this film is great, but June’s wardrobe is even better.

 

 

20. Olivia Pope, Scandal

The only scandal here is the fact that I don’t own her wardrobe.

I'm a freshman journalism student involved with U92 FM, Daily Athenaeum, and Public Relations Student Society of America. I love Twin Peaks, cult films, classic rock, and Star Wars.
Hi ladies and gents, my name is Mel, Melanie if you're feelin' fancy. I'm a senior studying advertising, political science and fashion at West Virginia University. In addition to my studies, I am the Campus Correspondent for the WVU HC Chapter! You can hear me on the radio at U92 FM reporting the news and hosting morning shows. If I'm not there, I'm most likely at the local Panera eating my body weight in broccoli cheddar soup or writing about the daily, awkward encounters I experience. I represenative of the college of media as an ambassador and the prez of the magazine club. Oversized sweatshirts and jean on jean are my aesthetics. Lover, not a fighter unless you tell me Joe Jonas wasn't the best Jonas. Laters, baby.
