In the 15th episode of the third season of HBO’s original series, Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw makes the unusual decision to date a man who lives with his parents and manages a comic book store. This potential partner of Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic character spends most of the 30-minute episode smoking weed and playing with water, like a young school boy. Samantha Jones, meanwhile, plans a bat mitzvah for a preteen, and Miranda Hobbs gets braces. It’s an episode that subtly carries a very important theme: “Are we 34 years old, but we look 13?” Something we also love about this episode is Carrie’s colorful wardrobe, in line with this “second adolescence.” How to wear a printed sheer blouse and a skirt with sandals like Sarah Jessica Parker? It is in this same episode that Carrie Bradshaw makes the unusual decision to wear a Chanel blouse from the 90s backward. “I’m one of three women on the Vogue edit team who would quote this capri pants/Chanel blouse backwards and bandana, because I think it’s one of my favorite looks of all time,” assured Kerry McDermott, Digital Director of the British version of the magazine, back in June 2023. “It’s a classic example of Carrie’s daring fashion, the kind that almost enters the territory of cosplay and disguises (with overalls and plaid for her walks north of New York with Aidan; as well as stripes, tweed and a hat adorned with pearls for her arrival in Paris),” recalls the editor about the most eccentric and charming fashion moments of this character. And since then, our heroine has been forced to mature (the death of a husband and the loss of several important friendships end up affecting you one way or another), something that becomes evident in the latest batch of images that have come to light from the set of the third season of And Just Like That. In fact, that’s how we saw Carrie wearing a new version of the same Chanel blouse with bishop sleeves, sheerness, and also worn backward. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker wore this archive relic with a fuchsia dropped-waist skirt and strappy heeled sandals, as she struggled to operate her iPhone (some things, like Carrie’s aversion to technology, will never change). Skirt and blouse to imitate Carrie Bradshaw for the arrival of fall 2024: Little by little a breath of fresh air is felt in the environment, it is like a series of blouses (as fitted or flowing as you wish) are incorporated into our wardrobe in this time of transition. Something that Sarah Jessica Parker knows perfectly well. As well as we dare to suggest a fashion combo for you to start wearing this trend at your own pace. If the idea of wearing a blouse backwards like Carrie doesn’t appeal to you, you can opt for the mesh blouses of the moment, which besides being flattering, also serve as the perfect base layer this fall 2024. As for the skirt, if fuchsia isn’t your thing, you can opt for romantic boho-style skirts, with a balloon-style hem that the elegant Cinq a Sept brand offers. You’ll see that with some simple sandals you already have in your closet, you’ll be ready for your next adventure in the city.
