Confessions of a Shopaholic: Scandal For The Limited Collection

If you spent all summer waiting to get B613’d with your fellow gladiators you’re in luck! The fall premiere of ABC Network powerhouse “Scandal” is tonight at 9PM EST. And this time, it isn’t simply being ushered in with the usual theatrical trailers. It’s now being accompanied by the launch of a new clothing line promising the professional polish that made protagonist Olivia Pope (played by Kerry Washington)  a style icon. “Scandal” has collaborated with mainstream retailer The Limited on a collection inspired by the world class wardrobe of “fixer” Olivia Pope.

Planning on starting the new season off with a job search? Your outfit is handled. Similar to Mad Men for Banana Republic, Scandal for The Limited promises to be an instant smash. The twenty seven pieces include loose fitting trousers, svelte cigarette pants, and billowing blouses but, as with the show, the real standouts here are the coats.

The sand-colored dolman collar wrap coat will make you feel like you just stepped onto the streets of Washington, D.C with a VIP pass to the President’s suite, while the gorgeous silver fastened plaid cape will have you sprinting to make jam in Vermont.

Once you’ve finally snagged your “Scandal” selection from The Limited, you’ll need something to pair it with.

How To Accessorize The Look

Avoid looking like a mannequin by styling the looks in the collection unexpectedly and seeking accessories from other outlets. Zara’s Leather City Bag ($119.00) is both cute and convenient.

This office-appropriate option has a compartment that will fit your phone tablet and keys when you need to go from sitting pretty in Starbucks to standing your ground on the subway. Its bruised oxblood hue would be the perfect contrast for the Drape Collar Wrap Coat that comes in both sage green and soft pink.

At a lower price point, but no less chic, is H&M’s black crocodile patterned cross body ($39.95). Adding texture to a structured look is a fun way to branch out without the use of color.

Or go with an option straight from The Limited like this 3-compartment tote ($68.60) which is a perfect get-up-and-go professional bag at a nice mid-range price point.

This Scandal for The Limited collection consists of timeless pieces that are solid investments going into the fall season.
