The OC look!


Question Posted Saturday August 4 2007, 6:10 am

Alright, heading back to school next month and I want to get the OC kinda look! You know, Summer and Marissa vibes

Oh by the by, I'm from Ireland so don't go reccommending American Shops that haven't made their way over here yet!ie AE, Hollistr etc etc

But I just want to get the fundamental style- I know a gorgeous tan is a given and I'm working on that. But as for the clothes. What type of clothes should I be picking out? layering? What type trousers and shoes and accesories should I buy???

And any hints, tips, advice on Californian make-up???

Cheers,
xxx

yes a tan is a given. also try wearing a lot of sandals and flats, both work very well. you could add highlights to your hair, so that it is lightened up a bit. make-up can be very simple, have pink or brown lips, or lip gloss, a bit of blush, no eyeshadow is necessary. bermuda style shorts are a great look, in plaid or solid colors. for layering of shirts you can wear a tanktop that is a bit longer than the tshirt you are wearing so it shows up on the bottom, any colors that are bright and cheerful work well, just make sure you layer the outfit with more subtle colors if you have a very bright pattern on. try wearing ankle bracelets, a weeave pattern is best, and cowl shell necklaces, keep your bags small and simple. for jewelry you could wear longer necklaces over your shirts, small, simple earrings, and ankle bracelets, try to stick to natural jewelry. good luck.

here's a few things you could do.

* get lighter highlights in your hair, don't dye it, just get highlights
* get some dark wash skinny jeans
* for shoes, buy some cute flats, a few pairs probably
* don't be afraid of bright colors, but mix them with browns, whites, and blacks
* wear long, gold jewelry over your shirts
* in terms of shirts, you can wear anything. any sort of nice blouse, tank top, or sweater doesn't matter so much. Try not to wear any cheesy neon colors, like hot pink. bright is ok, but make sure they are also dark and rich colors, that's more of the marissa look.

goodluck, hopefully you'll find a style that suits you!
