Look for Less: Olivia Pope Edition!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Montclair chapter.

 

In honor of Scandal returning from its winter break, we’ve decided to celebrate in style of course. Kerry Washington, who plays Olivia Pope, in the hit show Scandal, has been praised for the fabulous fashion choices her character makes. Anyone who watches the show knows what we are talking about. How could you not love Olivia Pope’s fashion sense? Face it, you want to be her and have her closet. Unfortunately, we are still collegiettes with a collegiette budget and can’t possibly afford the hefty price tags on the pieces Washington wears. So, Her Campus Montclair went ahead and found a few pieces at a much more affordable price.

Let’s start with Olivia Pope’s amazing coats. No one wears a coat better than she does. Her coat just completes her outfit. Remember that fab Burberry trench coat Olivia wore in episode 215, “Boom Goes the Dynamite?” Yeah, THAT episode and THAT coat. Both unforgettable and we found a gorgeous trench coat at a much more affordable price at H&M for $69.95.

How about that gorgeous gown she wore in the same episode? Well we found something pretty close to the design of the dress. It’s a shorter version and of course cheaper at ASOS for $97.86.

 
I'm an eternal optimist, aspiring PR girl, fashionsta and friend. I love my position at Her Campus Montclair. Being Editor-in-Chief has taught me how to manage time, be creative with content, and most of all, how to be an effective leader. I'm currently the social media manager at the New Yorker Hotel and Manhattan Center in NYC. When I was the social media director for HC Montclair, I learned just how incredible being connected with the world could be for any business. Social media has become a part of almost everyone's life. I adore it for all it can do and hope to one day own a social media consulting firm that can go into struggling businesses or start up businesses and help them out.
