SOPHISTICATED SHOPPER

Posted Feb 07 2011 @ 07:28 PM

Enjoying an afternoon to herself, Katie Holmes goes shopping solo at the Steven Alan boutique in West Hollywood on February 4. I have some to say Katie looks surprisingly put together here, strolling into the boutique in a bow tied blouse from her Holmes & Yang line (check out Jenny Han's Pink Ribbon Charity Blouse in Blush or Fifteen-Twenty's Rose and Leaves Blouse in Purple for similar looks) with faded skinny jeans (like 7 For All Mankind's Roxanne Flood in Myrella) tucked into suede ankle booties (try Farylrobin's Valenta Platform Bootie in Grey). Katie carried a taupe shopping tote (similar to Julie K Handbags' Gabby in Grey) as she went about her day. What do you think of Katie's sophisticated shopping look, do you think her style is improving? I hate to share this, but according to Katie herself, her four year old daughter Suri is her biggest fashion influence. Katie recently shared in an interview with Elle magazine how much she values her opinion: “She’ll really tell me [what she thinks]. Like today I’m wearing brown suede pants, and she said, ‘I don’t like your pants.’ But then she’ll say, ‘You’ve got to wear these shoes.’ Or ‘That’s so pretty, Mom. Wear that.’ She’s got a great eye.” Cue the eyes rolling here! What do you think of Katie's relationship to her petite stylist, do you think her fashion is visibly improving?
