Unlikely Style Icon: Cher Horowitz from 'Clueless'

Hey everyone,

If I was to list everything I've done this Summer, it would mainly include:
1) spending 3 weeks at the hospital visiting my sister
2) watching Downton Abbey
3) becoming obsessed with 80s & 90s movies

One of those movies happens to be Clueless- a classic coming-of-age movie from 1995 starring Alicia Silverstone. I've watched it at least 3 times since discovering it this Summer, and I'm obsessed with the character Cher's style! Ok, I'll admit- the yellow tartan is a tad too much, but I adore the matching sets and the shape of her overall look- short skirts, cute jackets and knee high socks. I'm definitely going to be taking inspiration from Cher this Autumn/Winter, as two pieces and the tartan print are two trends that are still going strong! 

I've put together some pieces from across the high street that definitely channel Cher's look, whilst remaining totally wearable.

The skirt from New Look has been on my wishlist for ages- I love the blue & yellow colouring! Rather than a yellow two piece like Cher, I chose a yellow blazer instead- perfect for throwing over the tartan two piece that's also from Oasis. Cleated heel shoes are a favourite of mine, and I definitely feel Cher would approve of this option from Boohoo. I discovered this cape on H&M's website and it would certainly modernise this 90's look. Cher is famous for her fluffy pen, so I picked this super cute fluffy bag from River Island instead- it's so unique! Lastly, I could definitely imagine a modern day Cher Horowitz wearing a 'célfie' t-shirt, like this option from Boohoo.

Are you a fan of Clueless? Who is you 'unlikely style icon'?
