<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;What would Carrie Bradshaw do?&#8221; is a question I ask myself frequently as I&#8217;ve become more and more invested in the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte. Now, after savoring every last second of the infamous <em>Sex and the City</em>, I&#8217;ve been getting ready to tune into the 2021 reboot of the show entitled <em>And Just Like That&#8230;</em>, excitedly awaiting more of the girls&#8217; fabulous outfits. ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Carrie is known for her knack for designer labels, I think there&#8217;s much more to her style than just that. Carrie Bradshaw became a fashion icon for her ability to mix both classic, timeless pieces with trendy and fun elements in her wardrobe. Watching the show recently, I&#8217;ve noticed that many of her looks follow current trends that I would gladly wear today as a 20 something in 2021. Everyone knows that Y2K style is back in a big way, so it makes sense that Carrie&#8217;s fashion is as inspirational as ever. ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, I&#8217;ve compiled a few of my favorite of Carrie&#8217;s classic looks and converted them into their 2021 equivalents with a modern-day twist!! They’re all at least somewhat affordable, because, let&#8217;s be honest, no one writing one column a week while paying NYC rent could actually afford all of those designer shoes! ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Carrie’s Floral Brunch Outfit</strong></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">I couldn&#8217;t decide which of these dresses was the best 2021 version of Carrie’s iconic brunch outfit, so I decided to include all three! They are all equally girly, cheery, and elegant—perfect for a lunch date with Mr. Big himself!</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">This ribbed tank top could not be more popular right now—and it makes sense—it&#8217;s so versatile and flattering!

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Animal print, ruching, and bodycon— the perfect combination for a night of clubbing like Carrie! Don&#8217;t forget the darling Y2K shoulder bag and strappy black stilettos.

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">This probably has to be my favorite of Carrie&#8217;s looks, or at least in my top three! A white button-down is utterly timeless, but has made an especially fierce comeback in 2021. Paired with this trendy emerald miniskirt, what could be better!? I&#8217;m a sucker for pink and green together, and the way Carrie does it with the pop of pink heels is absolutely stunning. Sign me up for this outfit ASAP!</p>
