In Character: Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about fashion—all her brain space not occupied with her town is crammed with thoughts of Li’l Sebastian and Ben’s butt. That being said, she knows it’s important to look the part, and here’s how she sells her signature blend of competence, ambition, and unbridled enthusiasm. —erica
A bright red Joseph blazer that Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, and Janet Reno would approve of.
A Gauge NYC necklace so that she can keep Pawnee close to her heart—where it belongs.
A special-occasion (but still very professional) waffle-knit No. 21 dress—an ode to JJ’s Diner, whipped cream and all.

Next Level: Pink & Red
Pink and red are not supposed to hang together—they kind of have a Capulet-Montague situation going. But, done right, man, can sparks fly. Four classy-cool ways to go. —erica
LEVEL I: How adorbs would these Loeffler Randall sandals be with rolled-up chinos?
LEVEL II: God, those blush-y hues. Reed Krakoff, you know what you’re doing.
LEVEL III: The cut-outs on this Mara Hoffman dress just contribute to the color-blocking masterfulness.
LEVEL IV: Subtle? Heck no. But this Venessa Arizaga necklace sure is fly.

In Character: Olivia Pope
Ok, tell us: Is there anyone chicer on teevee than Olivia Pope? And the fact that her clothing has a chance to say anything amidst all the plot and ACTION on Scandal is pretty remarkable. Here’s how she gets the job done (and she always gets the job done). —erica
A Rag & Bone trench that communicates her number one fashion rule: Wear as much white as possible.
The sort of dress—by Lela Rose—that makes her presence at state dinners even more of a *thing*.
An Alexis Bittar necklace that makes her look like she’s got everything under control, no matter what shit Cyrus, Hollis, Verna, and Mellie are pulling.

Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer does pastels in a way that feels about as far removed from Easter candy has humanly (bunny-ly?) possible. —erica

In Character: Logan Echolls
Logan Echolls was not the most stylin’ dude at Neptune High—getting past his Hot Topic wardrobe was half the battle (er, for us if not for Veronica). Here’s what he wore—ok, fine, way better-looking versions of what he wore—to win our eternal LoVe. —erica
A necklace (here, John Hardy) that puts out major brah vibes, giving his use of SAT words like “anthropomorphic” even more zing.
An aggressively bad-boy moto jacket by Rag & Bone, just asking for a first kiss.
A Barker Black bow tie as swank as his room at the Neptune Grand—really adding gravitas to lines like, “I thought our story was epic, you know, you and me.”

Weather Vain: Austin, Texas - 91 and Partly Cloudy
Last Monday, we were in Austin. This Monday, we’re not. Instead of getting bummed about it, we’re taking a vacation in our minds. And here’s what we’re packing. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ An Apiece Apart top that’s anything but clingy—essential in this heat.
+ A Shashi bracelet as thoughtfully composed as the dishes as Uchi.
+ The sort of Sophie Monet necklace that’s just asking for some sunset sangria at Hotel San Jose.
+ A Jerome Dreyfuss bag—scored at Kick Pleat, perhaps?
+ A light-as-air Etoile Isabel Marant skirt that vibes with the global flyness at JM Drygoods.
+ Leather-trimmed aviators—Linda Farrow for The Row—ideal for exploring East Austin.
+ The sort of Marais USA sandals itching to be broken in anticipation of the steamy months ahead.

There’s something so supremely enticing about the ceramic line Object & Totem’s glossy, glowy gunmetal glaze. —erica

Weather Vain: Dallas, Texas - 82 and Partly Cloudy
This week, we’re headed to TX. When we land, it’ll feel more like spring than summer, but here’s what we’d want to wear if we were hanging around Big D today. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ An Acne shirt ladylike enough for perusing the racks at Forty Five Ten.
+ The sort of Iacoli & McAllister necklace that perfectly suits the up-n-coming Dallas Design District.
+ Paige jeans, ready for a long night of margs at Mattito’s.
+ Slim little Elizabeth and James flats fit for a stroll on Katy Trail.
+ Warby Parker shades as classic as the downtown Neiman’s.

In Character: Jessa Johansson
Marnie can work a body-con dress, Hannah really embraces a romper, and Shosh sweats a fascinator, but it’s Jessa who really goes hard at the personal-style thing—she nails that whole bougie, don’t-give-a-rat’s-ASS vibe she’s trying so hard to put out there. —erica
A By Ti Mo kimono that makes it clear that she’s thisclose to collapsing into a bed (hers, someone else’s, whatever).
A Eugenia Kim hat that makes owning a hairbrush optional.
The sort of Shashi creation that says, “I’ll be your crack spirit guide.” You know, if a necklace could say such a thing.
