Style Inspiration: Zooey Deschanel

Ever since I saw Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer (alongside the oh-so-good-looking Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but that's for another blog), I've been keeping tabs on her - not on her movies, but on her style. Today I thought I'd pull together some of my favorite looks that she's worn.

But wait, Leanna! you are thinking, I don't know who this girl is so this isn't going to be any fun for me.
Well, my dear followers, I submit that you do know who she is. Because, after all, who hasn't seen Elf?
Yup, she played the elf lady, Jovie. Hey, we've all got to start somewhere.

The first look I'm going to show you guys is one that's been ripped apart on the internet the past few weeks. It's been on all the worst-dressed lists, and I've seen many bloggers posting about how ugly it is. Let's take a look, shall we?
I just don't get where the hate for this dress is coming from. I mean, it's not the most flattering thing she could have worn, but other than that I think it's fine. I really like the color, and the shoes are super cute.

Anyways, I was planning on showing like 5 or so of my favorite looks, but I realized quickly that I have about 15 favorite looks that I was never going to be able to pick from. So you get to see them all! Goody!
A few things I like:
-The tights! Have you ever seen so many fabulous tights before in your life?
-The balance in skin-exposure. She covers up on top when she does the short skirts, and when she's showing more skin up top she wears longer skirts. She is also not afraid to cover up both at the same time, which is rare for celebrities today.
-Her bangs. I've been considering getting some bangs myself but can't seem to talk myself into it. We shall see.
-The way she/her stylist accessorizes. It's not often you see belts on the red carpet, but it works so well with her style. The hair clips and headbands are cute as well.
-That she wore flats... to the Grammy's! Awesome.
-That she's not afraid to rock the white-as-snow look that most celebrities seem scared to death of and smear themselves with self-tanners or spend unhealthy amounts of time in tanning beds to disguise. Being pale is cool, people!
