Emma Pillsbury Fashion ID - Green Beaded Necklace with White Flower

A fabulous find by Kathleen - all this time, we've been operating under the belief that Emma's green beaded necklace with the white flower from Showmance was from Target. It's not!


Beaded Floral Necklace from Anthropologie - no longer available

You can, however, find it on eBay! (The lovely seller supplied me with a large version of the photo you see above.)

Thanks for the find, Kathleen!

Emma Pillsbury Style - Get The Look - Primrose Garden Necklace

We all fell in love with Emma's gorgeous coral necklace when it appeared for the first time in Showmance:



The J.Crew Primrose Garden Necklace in Coral became an instant hit with Emmaphiles everywhere.



Pricey. Out-of-stock. Our two least favorite things.

Good news, WWEPWers! Fabulous reader Julia is here to save the day!

Chadwicks has a knockoff of the J.Crew necklace!

This necklace is available online, and Julia tells me it can also be found at J.C.Penney stores.

A great necklace at a great price! Thanks, Julia!

Emma Pillsbury Style - Get The Look - Showmance

The periwinkle and cream outfit is all about color. I'm pretty confident that costuming much of Emma's bottom half is done by shopping at J. Crew. This pencil skirt comes in several striking colors and I wouldn't be surprised to see Emma wearing it in an upcoming episode or two. For the life of me, I cannot find a sweater anywhere that resembles or even comes close to the one Emma wears at the beginnning of this episode. Vintage, perhaps? If you have any approximations to this sweater, I'd love to see!

Perfect Pencil Skirt by J.Crew.

Emma's coral and taupe outfit is all about color combination and accessories. The simple cardigan and print pencil skirt could be found anywhere, in an array of colors and patterns, but the matching belt and gorgeous necklace pull the outfit together. This necklace would also go perfectly with Emma's coral look.

Garden Party Necklace by Stella & Dot.

Emma's olive cardigan is dressed up by a little grosgrain ribbon down the front. The little details of Emma's clothes is what sets her apart from ordinary, I think. Here are two versions of ribbon-trimmed cardigan - an inexpensive one from Kohl's and a bust-the-budget Ann Taylor version.

Dana Buchanan Ribbon-Trim Cardigan from Kohl's.
Wool Cardigan with Grosgrain Trim from Ann Taylor.


Emma's green and black ensemble is punctuated by a fabulous skirt and an even more fabulous necklace. This Boden skirt, in several color combos, is reminiscent of Emma's, without the pleats.

Super Spot Velvet Mini from Boden.

Smaller dots, with a center pleat.

Jacquard Skirt from Boden.

Another Emma-ish necklace from Stella & Dot.

Selma Brooch Necklace from Stella & Dot.

Here's a super-affordable beaded cardigan (not in baby blue, but still pretty) from Land's End.

Fine Gauge Stretch Beaded Cardigan from Land's End.

The myriad of sweater guards Emma wears (and not just on sweaters!) would be so simple to make. But why bother when cute guards like these are already out there?

Have other ideas for Emma-inspired wear? I'd love to hear from you!

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Eggplant Blouse and Checked Skirt

We see the plaid skirt that goes with this richly-colored blouse for a split second.

Love the asymmetrical ruffle. Love the whimsical owls on the sweater guard. Love that she clipped a sweater guard to a blouse.

I hope Tulipalooza with Ken wasn't too traumatic for you.

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Spring Green Sweater and Khaki Skirt

Another kitschy sweater that Emma pulls off perfectly with a simple yellow beaded bracelet.

The little khaki skirt allows the sweater to take center stage.

Don't date Ken, Emma! You can do better! Even in Lima.

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Baby Blue

It's a good thing I didn't blink, or I might have missed the pale blue daisy pin that complements this soft beaded cardigan.

Adorable.

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Black and Green

Where DO you get your jewelry, Emma? Do me a favor. Every time you go shopping and select something, pick up an extra and send to me in the mail. Thanks.

LOVE the skirt.

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Olive Cardigan with Ribbon Trim

A brief glimpse at a ribbon-adorned cardigan.

Is it wrong to wonder if this vulnerable moment would be a good time to snatch that gorgeous brooch from your sweater without you noticing? I thought so.

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Coral

Oh, Emma. This may be my favorite outfit of all time. How will you ever top this? I'm sure you will, but right now I'm kind of skeptical.

Yes, please take a moment to straighten those papers on your desk so I can take a longer look at that incredible piece of jewelry around your neck.

A gorgeous pairing!

Emma Pillsbury Fashion Caps - Showmance - Periwinkle and Cream Cardigan and Skirt

I love that Emma loves color. And she manages to find a way to make kitschy sweaters that I might pass right by on the rack look spectacular. The little bow detail at the waistline of this skirt makes the whole outfit.
