What Was She Wearing Answers/August 7th
Each year, as the summer draws to a close, we become bored with our seasonal stockpile of lightweight clothes and feel that our outfits (even the beloved ones) look tired. If you share these sentiments, we hope that today’s lovely panel of ladies will inspire you to look at your own clothing with fresh eyes and create new pairings. Whether you take Mischa Barton's lead and try something unexpected, like wearing a mini-skirt with fringed boots, or decide to add one of today's identified items to your closet, this edition of W.W.S.W. Answers! is full of pieces that will solve your wardrobe woes!
Ashley Tisdale
A few curious WhoWhatWear.com readers spotted Tisdale (who was amidst a coffee run in Hollywood, of course) and wanted to know about her effortlessly refined outfit. We agreed that her outfit was on-point, so here are the answers to those questions! Ms. Tisdale was wearing Diesel’s Buchan Blouse ($74), Jordache Constellation Ankle Jeans ($89), and Christian Louboutin's Round-Toe Slingbacks ($540, 310.247.9300) in grey. Without a doubt, our favorite element of Tisdale's look is the highly covetable Rodeo Drive Bag ($3495, 800.550.0005) she is carrying from Chanel's S/S 08 Collection.
Daisy Lowe
We have come to rely on Daisy Lowe for the darling getups she consistently constructs and our readers seem equally enthusiastic about the up-and-coming style muse. We recently received inquiries about the darling ensemble she wore to London's Maya Club in mid-July. Sadly, her Cherry Print Dress from Topshop is no longer in stock, but we think the Cherry Print Corset ($70) will satisfy as a substitute (it’s the same pattern)! Lowe accessorized her print frock by matching a pair of cute Repetto’s Fillette Mary Janes ($225, 323.856.5872) with a sweet clutch from London's PPQ. For non-UK residents, we found a snazzy clutch alternative—Hobo's Meg Small Patent Clutch ($68)—to suit your fancy. If you're hoping to emulate Lowe's entire look, don't forget to incorporate some color into the black-and-white ensemble by painting your nails bright teal. We like Color Club's Wild Child ($2)!
Mischa Barton
Nylon’s July/Aug covergirl, Mischa Barton, flaunted her sixties-inspired style as she arrived at her New York hotel this past June. The hippie hipster (yes, you read that right) was wearing a Mark & Estel Finished Round U Shirt ($122) and Sam Edelman's Uri Boots ($225, available for pre-order mid-August, shoes.com). To finish an ensemble like this, we suggest checking out Free People's Cheerful Composition Skirt ($108). True, the woven ruffle skirt isn’t exactly like the one above, but we still think the tribal style seems very Bartonesque!
Rihanna
Outfit after outfit, Rihanna proves her trendsetting capabilities through sharp garments and daring accessories. She was recently spotted displaying her spirited taste as she left Fred Segal’s Santa Moncia outpost wearing some sharp threads. She tucked a James Perse Ultra Rib Classic Long Tank
($45) into Acne's Cherie Studded Pencil Skirt ($399, 212.625.2828), and then slipped into Giuseppe Zanotti's Cut Out Shoe Boots
($795) to add some intimidating inches to her already chic ensemble. If you prefer to spend your money on rent rather than shoes, we recommend Steve Madden's Ginn Bootie ($170) for their similar multi-strap shape to the Zanotti originals. Rihanna completed her outfit with a Chanel necklace (Style #A39263 Y02003, $1675, 800.550.0005) and some super glam Balenciaga Sunglasses (#198487, $420, 212.279.4440). Of course, we found budget friendly options for you to accessorize with—Cara Couture's NY Multi-Strand Necklace ($68) and Forever 21's Multi-Chain Necklace ($6.80) and Metal Sunglasses ($6). —Jessica Amento, with additional reporting by Lily Huber

Mischa spending 120$ on a plain white tee makes her look like an idiot. That and the incredibly fug outfit.I like all the other outfits.
Posted by: Caitlin | 2008-08-21 06:32:30
Wow Ashley Tisdale certainly pulls off this look. I thought she was one of the Olsens at first. Mischa looks kinda busted...sorry! theblackstiletto.blogspot.com
Posted by: Kathleen | 2008-08-10 22:05:31
daisy lowe <3 ! though this is clearly not one of my favorite outfits from her. man mischa's outfit wouldve been fine if.. it stayed in her closet? i like the bag, though, at least.
Posted by: nicole | 2008-08-10 11:26:14

Posted by: jj | 2008-08-07 21:46:24
I'm LOVING Ashley's top and bag. Gorgeous. The other 3 outfits aren't so exciting, but Daisy's dress is adorable!
Posted by: C | 2008-08-07 20:34:59
Ashley's outfit is cute however no points for originality. Same goes for Daisy. Rhianna and mischa look awful!!!
Posted by: melody | 2008-08-07 19:06:29
Can anyone please identify mischa's bag? it's super cute
Posted by: janice | 2008-08-07 16:31:32
ashley looks faaaaab from this angle, daisy, hate that 'butter wouldn't melt look' that she wears all too often, rihanna, good for her, not for me tho'.
Posted by: s | 2008-08-07 16:30:54
mischa mischa mischa....honey get a stylist, you are one of the most beautiful girls on the planet, i love that you're not rake thin, but the clothes, darlin, the outfits, not so much.
Posted by: sarah | 2008-08-07 16:28:21
Mischa looks amazing! She has such a unique style that not many people can pull off, and I love how she's not wearing the typical minnetonkas.
Posted by: Mary Kate | 2008-08-07 16:26:27
love ashley's style. but mischa, eek! why does she end up featured so often?? ohmygollygolly.blogspot.com/
Posted by: nicole | 2008-08-07 13:47:04
i like ashley's style. but misha, eek. i don't know why she is featured here so often. ohmygollygolly.blogspot.com/
Posted by: nicole | 2008-08-07 13:42:54
Ashley looks great. So does Rihanna. The other two, not so much. Mischa has been looking pretty horrible lately. And Daisy's dress seems too tight on top.
Posted by: Amber | 2008-08-07 13:06:49
ashley tisdale looks topnotch. www.thedailyalygator.blogspot.com
Posted by: alison | 2008-08-07 12:23:19
i actually cannot stop laughing at mischas sickening boots...love daisy's look but think it might have been better with an injection of colour..say j.choo's zebra neon clutch?just a thought.
Posted by: baz | 2008-08-07 12:00:25
I'm actually loving tisdale's look. The rest are pretty terrible, esp mischa barton. What a disaster.
Posted by: fashionlov3r | 2008-08-07 11:40:28
I adore ashleys jeans with the buttons up the back of the ankle, such a sweet touch! Kinda disappointed in the Chanel bag though. I was hoping for something less cliche. Daisy Lowe is darling! http://luvvy-luvvy.blogspot.com/
Posted by: LuVvy | 2008-08-07 11:04:33
Rhianna always overdoes it on the accessories and manages to make everything look cheap, but the skirt is gorgeous. Ashley looks suprisingly good, love the jeans and Daisy always looks amazing! get rid of mischa, love the 'big foot' comment!
Posted by: beth | 2008-08-07 11:02:11
I love Ashley's jeans the Christian L's are love. I also love Daisy dress, and Rihanna's shirt and tank are cute.
Posted by: Champagne | 2008-08-07 10:37:13
My Blog: > fashionchalet.blogspot.com < What has happened to Mischa? I miss her. I really like Ashley's jeans paired with those heels and gorgeous bag. I love Rihanna's skirt.
Posted by: Fashion Chalet | 2008-08-07 10:31:51
Mischa's "outfit" looks like the Halloween costume my neice got at Old Navy last year. Why, why, why would you wear those boots with a matchy-matchy skirt like that? But, I don't care if it's real or not, I love Ashley's bag.
Posted by: Llew | 2008-08-07 10:02:40
Mischa is an example of what not to do when trying to be fashionable. While I like ther idea behind her outfits: hippie, rocker, 70s, she always takes it too far. Take off about 5 accessories, and then she'll look halfway decent.
Posted by: ana | 2008-08-07 09:37:22
"cottage cheese thighs" -- seriously? I wish posters would focus on fashion and not be so hateful.
Posted by: anna | 2008-08-07 09:32:02
I can't believe people still even like mischa! there's nothing original about her or her style. i couldn't believe nylon had her on their newest cover. why don't you guys feature her cottage cheese thighs next? they're just as gross as that outfit.
Posted by: leah | 2008-08-07 09:16:01
I love this post because all the featured ladies have such different style. But I don't understand how barton always ends up in the most unflattering clothes?! I love rihanna though, she looks so different from most of the LA set we see on here. Love the jorache jeans too!
Posted by: leelo | 2008-08-07 09:04:33
mischa needs to lay off the hippie look for awhile, she has overdone the trend and now it just looks silly.
Posted by: th.dany | 2008-08-07 07:47:47
Ashley looks ok, Mischa boots look hideous and make me wonder who on earth would ask after them. Daisy looks great as usual, I saw that dress last week on her and loved it. Rihanna looks good but I think her problem is that she overdo's things. It would have looked better If she'd chosen different shoes got rid of the clutch and studded cuff.
Posted by: Camilla | 2008-08-07 07:40:45
I like Rihanna's look (on her); it's not my style, but she's always fun to watch.
Posted by: Alison | 2008-08-07 07:39:34
Love Ashley's outfit, its good for a casual day. And I want to burn Mischa's boots... x_x
Posted by: Amy | 2008-08-07 06:50:20
Ashley Tisdale's jeans are lovely, but every other item of clothing on this post... Um. Daisy Lowe looks like she's having trouble breathing.
Posted by: Dell | 2008-08-07 06:48:22
arrr rhihanna again!! :S
Posted by: charlotte | 2008-08-07 05:54:00
Yes. Because the interlocking C's are not a dead giveaway. Snarky comments aside, I love Daisy Lowe and this adorable outfit (even if it is a tad squishy for my liking) and it looks like Mischa killed hairy bigfoot and wore him on her legs.
Posted by: Jen | 2008-08-07 04:59:24
no way ashley tisdale's handbag was chanel?

Love fashion but don't have the biggest budget? Check out this blog: http://wearfare.blogspot.com http://www.mostlymodel.blogspot.com - mostly models. 24/7. I love Ashley's jeans, Rihanna's entire look and just Daisy in general, but Mischa looks a mess :P
