Of course, there's a lot of pink!

To say I was (and still am) obsessed with Barbie is an understatement. As a girl, she was a symbol that I could be anything. I loved styling her in various outfits, making her a movie star (or whatever career seemed the most appealing to me on that day), and watching her animated movies on loop. When this movie was first announced a few years ago, I already could not wait. I wanted to celebrate the release by dressing up in Barbie inspired outfits everyday, so I pulled all the pink pieces out from my closet and shopped a Barbie collab or a few and channeled my inner Barbie girl.
Business Barbie Blazer Set
Barbie was created to be a career woman. She had her own credit cards and her own iconic dreamhouse. I wanted this to be reflected in my first outfit, but with a cute, hot pink twist.
Blazer and Short Set: Camila Coelho
White Pearl Corset: Showpo, Evie Maree Collection
White Pearl Platform Heels: Public Desire
Pearl Clip: Target
Gold Necklace: Kendra Scott
Pearl Earrings: Kate Spade
Hot Girl Walk Barbie
Barbie has always kept up with the trends, if not, set them herself, so I know she would enjoy a hot girl walk. Especially, in this flattering tennis dress and embellished pink heart glasses.
Tennis Dress: Alo Yoga
Pink Socks: Alo Yoga
White Sneakers with Rose Gold Details: Steve Madden
Pink Embellished Heart Glasses: Amazon
Pink Earrings: Kate Spade
Night Out Barbie
I imagined this outfit as a date night outfit with Ken or better yet an outfit for Girls' Night because it's always Girls' Night #IYKYK
Pink Top and Pants Set: Superdown
Black Embellished Purse: Amazon
Black Platform Heels: Amazon
Pink and Gold Necklace: Kendra Scott, Barbie Collection
Earrings: Kate Spade
"Casual" Barbie
In Barbie Land the most casual outfits were still very over the top, so of course, my take on Casual Barbie is just as #Extra as I am!
Pink Embellished Tank: Hello Molly
Jeans: Levi's
Silver Embellished Platform Heels: Steve Madden
Silver Heart Purse: Amazon
Silver Bracelet: Alex and Ani, Barbie Collection
Silver Necklace: Disney
Silver and Pearl Earrings: A gift for being a bridesmaid
Workout Barbie
This 80's inspired workout look is a Barbie classic and just had to be recreated.
Black Barbie Swimsuit: Etsy (I bought it years ago and, sadly, don't remember the seller)
Leggings: Glyder
Socks: Tavi for Pure Barre
Scrunchie: Kitsch, Barbie Collection
Movie Premiere Barbie
If I was invited to the Barbie premiere in some alternate universe, I would have wanted to wear something similar to this, just a little more extravagant. This look was inspired by a fashion sketch of Barbie that I found on Pinterest, and I have to say I nailed the look!
Black and Pink Bow Back Dress: ASOS Design
Pink Kitten Heels (Not pictured here, but in the first photo): Aldo, Barbie Collection
Pink Handbag: Amazon
Silver Bracelet: Alex and Ani, Barbie Collection
Silver Necklace: Disney
Silver and Pearl Earrings: Gift
The Perfect Barbie 'Fit
I ended the week with my favorite look yet! I felt like it channeled vintage Barbie and Margot Robbie on her press tour. I even had people in the movie theater and tell me it was the perfect outfit for the movie. This one was a true 10/10 and the perfect way to end the week!
Pink Embellished Tweed Top and Skirt Set: ASOS Design
Pink Platform Heels: Steve Madden
Pink Embellished Handbag: Aldo
Silver Bracelet: Alex and Ani, Barbie Collection
Silver Necklace: Disney
Silver Earrings: Kate Spade
Dressing up for the Barbie Movie truly made me feel like a kid again, but in the best way. It made me want to get back to dressing up more and being more playful with my outfits. The movie was truly amazing and I might even go see it for the third time. It was a much needed reminder that women can do anything they set their hearts to regardless of society's expectations on us. If you continue to see me rocking Barbie pink, don't judge. I'll always and forever be a Barbie Girl!
XOXO,
Kristin
