Dress Like Olivia Pope

So with ABCs Scandal season finale set to premiere less than 24hrs away, the writers at AlumniRow felt that it was appropriate to release a post about Olivia Pope, a character played by Kerry Washington.  One of the things that makes Olivia Pope's character so interesting  is her sense of style, while being in blue/blacks political town, Washington DC.  Join us as we take a look at the fashion behind Olivia Pope, the character that has everyone at awe with her choice of wardrobe.

*Note:  Photo source throughout post.




First, lets look at what Ms. Kerry Washington and her costume manager
has to say regarding Olivia Pope's style.




Next lets take a look at a few pics from the show.

Episode 207:  Defiance

Other looks from season 1 & 2


As for guys ... just be a gladiator in a suit!!!


So now what?  We all know Liv wears very expensive designer pieces, BUT ... you can still have an Olivia Pope look for less.  But how?  Here are a few suggestions on where to start looking.

  1. Start with a vintage/thrift shop in a well to do neighborhood - you can get really great pieces at cheap prices
  2. Use shopstyle.com - this is a search engine dedicated to shopping ... try it out
  3. Boutiques - XX1, H&M, New York and Company, The Limited, BeBe, etc.
  4. Department Stores - JcPennys, Macys, Nordstorms etc.  
  5. Look for the style NOT the exact thing
We hope you liked this post.  What are your favorite Scandal Outfits?
Tune in ABC at 10pm for the Scandal Season Finale!!!

  1. Cool post but a question: I wear H & M jeans and i don't get why you're making it sound cheap?!

    1. HI Naana. Thanks for the compliment. I personally wear XX1 jeans which are $15 and I'm sure a lot cheaper in price than H&M. Not to mention I have a bunch of H&M dresses. I mentioned H&M as boutique where you can get things for lower price as compared to Olivia Pope's designer clothes. So I'm encouraging people to go to H&M and other boutiques to buy items cheaper in price with a pretty good quality to get the look.
