Greetings!
This is going to be my first post in my new fall series.
My plan is to put together some outfits that are inspired by various looks and costumes worn in movies/tv shows that I enjoy. Perhaps some tips as well as to how to incorporate these looks into your fall wardrobe.

Fall Fashion Inspired by Costumes: Fringe Edition
ok... if you don't know me in real life you might not know about my sci-fi obssession side.
Well I really like the fashion style that the costume designer Jenni Gullett and Marie Abma created for Olivia Dunham's look in the Fox tv show Fringe. They did a good job as a team putting together the costumes.
*on a side note, Jenni Gullett was also the Costume Designer for X-files!!! I thought that was pretty cool that she did Fringe and X-files. Scully always had nice outfits and perfect hair.*
This post is much better if you read it while listening to this.
I know most people probably don't notice these things , but I have a habit of looking at costume details...even in modern looks.
I thought it would be fun to create a couple fashion looks inspired by Fringe that you can recreate in your own fall wardrobe.
So I have put together 2 outfits from my own closet. I didn't have a budget to buy anything so I thought I would be creative! :)
The first look is for our side of the universe, and the second outfit is for the alternate universe.

Outfit 1: Our Universe Fashion
Olivia's outfits for "Our Side" of the universe are classic and simple.
Her usual look is a white , light blue shirt or gray shirt. Nice gray pants, a fitted black blazer and simple black heeled boots. If it is a colder day it appears that she wears either a black trench or a gray wool double breasted trench. Accessories with the colder weather coats are her gray scarf and black hat. Simple, yes and still elegant.
Hairstyle is straight and a nice shade of blonde. If she is not wearing it down it appears that she is always wearing a ponytail or a french braid.
I don't have a white or light blue button up shirt so I went for a more "inspired by look" of her outfits. Here is what I came up with...
From my closet...
Black Belted Trench: old navy
- Dove Gray Shirt: Target
- Black Pants: old navy, not pictured.
- Black Boots: pictured in the second look below.
For this look I would style my hair straight or put it in a simple braid or updo.
Sorry, my dress form can't model pants well. So I just left those out of the picture, but you get the idea.
All I need now is an F.B.I badge and a good gun.

Outfit 2: Alternate Universe Fashion
For Olivia's Alternation Universe outfits she has a bit more color and an edgier look.
She usually wears one of her leather jackets, a colored long sleeved t-shirt , gray pants and of course her signature black leather belt.
Her hair style for this Universe is a lovely shade of red and cut in a layered style with a blunt bang. She appears to mostly wear it down, or in a low pony tail.
my closet items...
Black Vegan Leather Jacket: free people
- Teal T-shirt: long sleeved with bronze button details. (not sure of the brand)
- Dark Wash Jeans: old navy
- Black Boots: double h brand
- Black Pearl Earrings: a gift
- Black Leather belt: thrift shop
This look would be best accessorised with a gun, but I figured we can leave it plain for now. ;) I would also add some smokey eye liner to my makeup as well for "the other universe" outfit.
Ready to add a touch of Fringe Fashion to your everyday look?

P.S.
For the guys out there who read my blog, Peter has a cool style too! His jackets are awesome actually. I know his jacket from Season 2 (episode 1, etc...) was from the Triumph company.
They don't carry the same one that Peter wore (why I don't know!) but this is pretty close.
A classic fitting black leather motorcycle jacket would also work for his look. Just keep it simple with a simple gray shirt and dark wash jeans. Don't forget to grab a weapon to hunt down shapeshifters though.
