Emma Pillsbury Fashion ID - Forever 21 Beaded Collar Blouse

I manage to ID quite a bit of Emma's wardrobe, but I'm always thrilled when readers find some especially tricky pieces. Case in point: my favorite of Emma's cardigans - the elusive red and white floral cardi from Sectionals.

A wonderful reader, Rachel W., found the ivory beaded-collar blouse worn under the taupe Jackie cardigan in "Grilled Cheesus."



It's from Forever 21, and here's a close-up of the beaded collar:



Thank you, Rachel!

Nicolle stumbled on a blog, Good Gals Inc, which offered a very surprising revelation about this sweater:





The bow-chain isn't separate at all! It's part of the sweater, by Tracy Reese. Kirby, you made my day!

Thanks for this great find, Nicolle!

And our resident expert outfit replicator, Kathleen, snapped up the dancer brooches from "Special Education" on eBay.



They're almost identical! Kathleen nabbed them in purple:



and this blue set Nicolle found on eBay recently sold for just $18!



A quick search for "vintage dancer brooch" should turn up another set soon!

Thanks for this great tip, Kathleen!

Fashion ID - Bad Reputation

Okay, folks! Since I get a lot of emails on Tuesday nights requesting IDs of Emma's clothes, I'm going to post a Fashion ID after each episode. Tomorrow I'll start posting my usual screencaps with commentary, but let's make sure everyone's need for fashion is satisfied first!

Emma Pillsbury Fashion ID - The Power of Madonna - Silhouette Cardigan

The lovely Teresa emailed this photo to me today:



It looks like the Silhouette Sweater Cardigan we saw on Emma is still in stores! And at $28, it's a steal! I may have to head on over to my local Forever 21 to pick one up!

Thanks to Teresa for sharing this! I've said it before, but it bears repeating. WWEPW readers are THE BEST.

Be sure to check out Teresa's blog: ELLEMENNOPEE. I was HOWLING with laughter at her posts today. (Teresa, remind me to tell you about the time a student accidentally spit in my mouth while talking, and I put antibacterial hand sanitizer on my tongue afterward...true story.)

Emma Pillsbury Fashion ID Sneak Preview - The Power of Madonna

Last night, a little fairy named Sianna sent me this gem:



There were a lot of exclamation points in the subject line of that email, and rightly so. Hooray for the person who risked life, limb, and possibly employment to snap this on-set photo and leak it for all the world to see! Exclamation point!

I hunkered down with a nice hot cup of Theraflu and my trusty mouse and embarked on my search to find this new sweater. We've seen the skirt and shoes before, in Sectionals, but this top was new territory. After about an hour, I was pretty certain it was time to hang it up, or else I'd be posting pictures of Cosby sweaters in my Theraflu stupor.

Today was a new day! I looked and looked, but the elusive sweater continued to evade me. What were those little blobs, anyway? Sailboats? Eiffel Towers? Umbrellas?

It was then that I knew this journey could not be made alone, so I turned to the Obi Wan Kenobi of Anthropologie - Kim. Kim writes the fabulous blog Anthroholic. I was convinced the sweater was Anthro, and if anyone could help me, it had to be Kim.

Meanwhile, I called on my trusty facebookers to give me some help as well. The lovely and wonderful Teresa recognized the sweater from Forever 21. Little did she know how right she was, because...

Minutes later, I received word from Kim:

Hi Danielle! I recognized that sweater the minute I saw it. It's from Forever 21, believe it or not. It's called the Silhoutte Sweater Cardigan. I don't see it on the website anymore, but it may still be in stores. I'm sending you a separate email with a picture of it in case you want to use it for your blog.

Puppies! Rainbows! I have found my hero! I give you...

The Silhouette Sweater Cardigan

Silhouette Sweater Cardigan by What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear? featuring Dorothy Perkins skirts

It's got little Mary Poppins wannabes all over it! I might break out into the chorus from Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious just from looking at it! (Which, by the way, was a bonus word on one of the weekly spelling lists when I taught second grade.)

And it was on Polyvore all along. When it was available in stores, it retailed for just 28 dollars! The skirt in this set isn't the exact one Emma's wearing, but the shoes are.

So there you have it, folks. Our first glimpse at a new Emma look from the back 9.

Thanks a million to Kim from Anthroholic for her lightning-quick expertise. The woman's amazing.
