Weird But True: Amazon Is Flooded With Things Carrie Bradshaw Would Wear
It may have been 20-plus years since we first caught a glimpse of Carrie Bradshaw's fashion in the first episode of Sex and the City, but her style is no less noteworthy. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Bradshaw's iconic wardrobe on the show has only gotten better with age. It's her experimental fashion sense and penchant for the statement-making—Carrie was hardly shy about combining such daring pieces as a hot pink dress and a metallic waist belt—that have made her looks on the show so memorable.
As huge SATC fans ourselves, we've taken to re-creating her most iconic outfits, pointing out how to shop her favorite shoes, and even highlighting the modern-day Bradshaw-inspired outfits we see on our Instagram feeds. If you have the same level of obsession as we do for her style, then the inspiration really never stops. Today, we're turning our attention to a retailer that's popping up more and more in our shopping roundups lately: Amazon.
Though the mega e-tailer was nowhere to be found back in 1998, we still "couldn't help but wonder" what she'd add to her virtual cart, so we put all our Carrie Bradshaw fashion knowledge to use. Ahead, revisit some of her outfit shots from the show and peruse our Amazon shopping picks inspired by her general styling approach in each, including strappy sandals, slinky satin dresses, and a few statement accessories thrown in for good measure.
A great affordable slip dress like this doesn't come along often, so we suggest stocking up on all five colors.
Wear this to cinch up a party dress or play it down with jeans and a tee.
Versatile and walkable (because Carrie wouldn't be caught dead in sneakers).
It would be impossible not to have fun when you're wearing this dress.
Okay, so she didn't always wear statement-making pieces. Simple basics like this made an appearance in her wardrobe, too.
When she did go for a basic, it was usually something sleek and formfitting.
This top-handle bag will add a dose of polish to everything you wear with it.
What, did you think we'd conclude this roundup without squeezing in one more strappy heel?
Speaking of Amazon, here are all the fall trends you can scoop up at the retailer for under $100.
