Scandal Thm New

Hello everyone! I’m currently on holiday (Lagos, Nigeria), but I pre-filmed and edited this video for you. I’m a huge fan of Scandal and Olivia Pope’s style so I thought it’d be fun to do a Lookbook inspired by her. I hope you enjoy it. Which look is your favourite?

I’m thinking of turning this into a series, what do you think? I could do a couple other on-screen sirens? Thinking it’d be fun, and i’ll get to experiment with my style a little…even try more colour, textures, patterns etc!

Hope you enjoy the video, and be sure to click through to it on YouTube for the info bar with all the outfit details!

    lovely…i really like the coats

    Hey Shirley! I love videos like this and the series idea is awesome and I have an idea for you! I don’t know if you watch suits but I love how the woman of the office dress up. The characters in particular are Jessica Pearson (obviously!), Rachel Zane and Katrina Bennet.. Donna Paulsen doesn’t really wow me during the scenes but the other woman are smoking’! And I feel they actually mimic your style quiet well, always so sophisticated yet sexy!

    Great looks! The first fit screams Olivia Pope with the all-neutral silhouette. This would definitely make for a fun series. Actress Mindy Kaling could be a cool choice, for mixing colors and patterns ;).

  • Reply Igee Okafor October 10 2014 at 4:36 pm

    That first outfit is absolutely fantastic. Head to Toe. Just giving all kinds of life.

    This lookbook drawls “sophisticated chic” in a perfectly posh accent 🙂

    I love pencil skirts, so that outfit is my favourite.

    Next time you are in Nigeria Shirley, do let me know and we’ll have a well organised meet and greet for you. There are so many people who would love to meet you (me included of course, lol).
    I love scandal and Olivia Pope is the best ever. Drove up my love for Kerry Washington thousands of percentages higher than before the first time I watched scandal. I love her outfits. My fav has to be the all white. I don’t know if I can pull it off but it’s something I’d love to try.

    Nice work Shirley. Very sophisticated! Do you watch Suits? Jessica Pearson has killer style. I’m sure you can do it justice if you do an inspired lookbook.

    I love the way you put your pieces together, you always look so classy and chic. Can you do and outfit for the colder months that are quickly approaching. Using tights /stockings. It is very hard to find opaque stockings that are long enought to fit me. I am 5 ft 8 with thick tights and big hips and find it almost impossible to find a panty hose that will fit properly and look good. Thanks so much. Keep on looking fabulous!

      Believe it or not Walmart carries a great opaque stocking/tights brand called no nonsense…they also have a website. Loads of designs and colors

    You have inspired me!!! I love the way Olivia Pope dresses! The show Scandal even made me go out and try the more business casual type of wardrobe but I failed once again. I will try again at the end of the month.

    Business style = sexy!

  • Reply The Indie October 30 2014 at 7:31 pm

    Gorgeous looks, Olivia Pope’s style always makes me swoon with how chic she manages to always be. She’s elegant and strong while maintaining her femininity and she allows her clothing choices to speak for her in that sense and does so without showing any skin at all really. Fantastic embodiment of her style Shirley!

    Could you do a Gossip Girl inspired lookbook? Specifically Blake Lively’s character Serena van der Woodsen!
