Desperate Housewives Inspiration: Bree Van De Kamp's conservative nature is reflected in her fashion choices.

Personality: Bree Van De Kamp (played by Marcia Cross) is a conservative Martha Stewart-type that seems to have it all together, on the outside. She chooses perfectly coordinated outfits with a preppy vibe. Her clothes are always perfectly coordinated to reflect the perfection she wishes to have in her life.

Color Palette: Bold colors- especially pink and red, along with a few soft greens and yellows.
Tops: Bree is all about the sweater, with a focus on argyle prints and the simple cardigan. She will also tie one around her shoulders for this ultra-preppy look.
Bottoms: Khakis and pencil skirts.
Dresses: At least knee-length in a classic shape and fabric (like lace or satin).
Shoes: Low-heeled sandals and loafers.
Accessories: A simple strand of pearls and a handbag.

Now, lets look at a few of Bree’s Signature Styles:

The Argyle Sweater: This classic preppy style is a must have for Bree’s conservative personality.





The Alicia and Olivia Argyle Cashmere Sweater featured above is found at Amazon.

The Pearl Necklace: Bree's simple strand of pearls goes with everything from sweaters to evening dresses.





The Royal Touch Cultured Pearl Necklace and the Royal Touch Freshwater Multi-Strand Pearl Necklace (both shown above) are examples of this simple but elegant look.

Well that is the end of my tribute to the desperate housewives, I hope you have enjoyed it. As you can see, I have left out Edie. If you all would like to see a post done for her too, tell me and I will!
