Small Screen Style Challenge: Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project

Happy Monday! I am SO excited to finally let you guys in on what I have planned for this week! If you follow me on Twitter, (which, hello, you should DEFINITELY be doing, because it’s tons of fun over there!) you may have heard that I’ve been planning a really fun and cool top-secret collaboration with a few of my blogger gal pals. Rachel Ross, Maddy Douglass from Madeleine Blogs, the lovely gals from Dearest Darling, Becca Wood from The Peach Bellini, and I got to chatting about onscreen style one day. In truth, the whole thing started when we began discussing Olivia Pope’s onscreen style, which evolved into a conversation about small screen style stars past and present. We decided to get together and challenge ourselves to choose our 4 favorite small screen style icons and channel them on our respective blogs for a whole week. PLUS… there is an AMAZING giveaway! We are raffling off over $600 worth of jewels from Roman & Sunstone! We’ve chosen 2 pieces that represent each of our selected icons’ onscreen style personas… and next Monday, we’ll choose a winner to win the whole thing! We’ll unveil two pieces per day, so make sure you keep checking back.

You’ll have to tune in everyday to see who we chose to emulate, but for day one? We chose Mindy Kaling’s hilarious and endearing character, Mindy Lahiri, on The Mindy Project.

I was so excited about Mindy! I love that her personal style is quirky and fun, and that she always takes risks and tries new things. She is always on-trend, and is usually in bright, fun colors. Girlfriend is not a afraid of a good print mix!

For my look, I decided to do a print mix. I was inspired by a black and white look she rocked on the show, and decided to use red as a fun pop-of-color. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the key to a successful print mix is color palette. As I chose black and white, it was really easy to choose two patterns that worked well together. Mindy embraces her curves and typically opts for a figure-flattering, bodycon silhouette, so I chose this amazing jersey pencil skirt from Old Navy and striped tee. (You KNOW how I feel about Old Navy lately!)

Make sure you check out the other girls’ looks too! I love that we all interpreted Mindy’s personal style differently… and LOVE the way some of the other girls embraced Mindy’s love of layering!
