Sarah Jessica Parker Styled a Lazy-Girl Outfit with a Fall-Approved Accessory — and Somehow, It Worked

Ever since I started pursuing journalism, I’ve been compared to Miss Carrie Bradshaw — and I’m not mad about it. Who wouldn’t want to emulate her insightful allure and positive outlook? And don’t forget about her sense of fashion; it’s the jewel in the crown. Another reason I love the comparison? Sarah Jessica Parker, the genius behind the Carrie Bradshaw character, is just as much of a fashion icon IRL. And sometimes, she takes some style days off, reminding everyone (and myself!) that it’s okay to step out in your best lazy-girl outfit and still be that girl. 

Yesterday, SJP stepped out on the set of And Just Like That in a pair of gray drawstring sweats and a blue-gray, long-sleeved shirt, similar to this fitted Lululemon pick. She tucked the front part of the shirt into her pants and called it a day — and let’s face it, we’ve all been there. But of course, our girl SJP didn’t stop there. She paired the ‘fit with a boxy, cream-colored utility jacket (think: Brixton’s beige coat) and some matching wedge clogs. For accessories, the actress threw on some transparent shades, tube socks, a hat, and a tote bag that makes a statement for more than one reason. 

If you look closely, the bag is adorned with hot pink strips of tape that read off a list of Democratic candidate names, such as Tim Ryan, Beto O’Rourke, and Catherine Cortez Masto. It’s unclear whether or not this bag was a part of the character’s costume or if SJP opted for it herself in support of voting in the upcoming midterm elections — either way, a political statement was definitely being made. 

Though, I can confirm that her wide-brim hat was only for the cameras. It works just as well with her sweats as it did her glam Carrie getup, and gives me the courage to wear my own unconventional clothing accessories along with cozy staples.
