'Sex and the City' Looks for Less
by Elayne Fluker

Are you a Miranda? A Samantha? Maybe a Charlotte? We'd all love to walk just one day in Carrie's shoes! Whatever your SATC score, you have to admit that the fashion—better known as the sixth character of the irresistible Sex and the City series (New York City has frequently been called the fifth)—is one of the most intriguing parts of the show. And the big-screen version is no exception. Here, we check out some of Carrie's best looks from Sex and the City: The Movie and, most importantly, tell you how to steal a few takes for your spring wardrobe.




Color Me Beautiful
This spring, it's all about hue! And we're talking purest form. So, instead of tangerine, opt for orange; instead of crimson, go for red. Here, Carrie looks gorgeous in green, with the perfect balance of femininity (florals) and edge (a studded belt). Get the look with this flirty dress from Miu Miu and Mossimo belt from Target.

Dress, $390 at Net-a-porter.com
Belt, $19.99 at Target.com










White On
Sport the fairest shade with confidence as you enjoy the sunny spring days. In this look, Carrie takes flower power to the next level, but it's her shimmery white dress paired with unexpected black sandals that really get our attention. Get the street-chic look with this sweet, mock neck, metallic number from Forever 21 and Jeffrey Campbell gladiator-inspired sandals from Urban Outfitters.

Dress, $19.80 at Forever21.com
Sandals, $98 at UrbanOutfitters.com











Day Shift
In this scene, Carrie keeps it simple in a sheath that may be forgettable if not for the pop of bright pink. Try Isaac Mizrahi's sateen version from Target and make the studded Mossimo belt from slide 2 pull double duty.

$34.99 at Target.com













Well Suited
Store away your I-mean-business blazer this season, and try adding a vest over a brightly colored button-down. This fitted option from Guess has a halter back, making the look—when paired with crisp white wide-legs—a fresh take coming and going.

Pants, $69.99 at Guess.com
Vest, $59 at Guess.com











Pretty in Pink
Unless you're on the runway (or you're Carrie Bradshaw!), don't go for the full effect of SJP's Zac Posen ensemble. Leave the blue accouterment, but embrace the shimmering pink dress and dainty white shoes, which shows that you're definitely more sugar than spice this season.

Dress, $27.80 at Forever21.com
Shoes, $295 at BCBG.com












Top Choice
A high-waisted belt elegantly pulls together this Twelve by Twelve tie-front coat. The flattering silhouette makes it suitable for most shapes, and the linen-and-silk blend makes it wearable all season. Throw it on with your favorite pair of stilettos, and strut!

In A Clutch

Downsizing is never easy, but bags with straps are so last season. When you're out and about, go for an oversized clutch with an ombre pattern similar to Carrie's, like this one from Chinese Laundry. Sure, it'll only hold your cash, cell, and maybe a lip gloss or two, but you'll look fabulous!
