The Essentials For Creating a Look Inspired by Spencer Hastings of Pretty Little Liars
We’re just 24-hours away from the season 5 finale of my favorite show- Pretty Little Liars! If you haven’t heard me say it before, I’ll say it again. This show is amazing! We can expect this particular episode to be fantastic because it’s the finale and like many shows, PLL always goes out with a bang. Knowing that the show has signed onto another 2 seasons and the fact of how they’ve ended past seasons, we can anticipate that they aren’t going to tie this one up with a neat little bow.
So in honor of this occasion, here’s a fashionable tribute to my favorite character- Spencer Hastings. This girl is all about plaid, oxford tops, and blazers. Her style is best described as preppy, polished, and chic. I love it! The best part about it for me is that Spencer’s style is beyond her age. Although she’s supposed to be in high school, many of her looks would be great for the office! She is constantly inspiring my everyday look. It really helps with ways to creatively mix and match what you already own.
Must-haves to recreate Spencer’s style:
– Oxford tops
– Blazers
– Anything plaid
– Pleated mini skirts
– Oxford shoes
– Knee-high socks
There are a ton of websites that make recreating looks from your favorite shows much easier! My personal favorite is Worn On TV. Almost immediately after an episode airs, they start linking to what the characters actually wore on the show. It’s pretty fun to see what they actually wear and what brands! Most shows feature clothing that is way out of my reach, however, Pretty Little Liars often features clothing that’s affordable or semi-affordable. Typically by the time the show airs, most of these items are either sold out or on sale. It’s really all about luck!
Last week, I managed to get this Ralph Lauren plaid vest worn by Spencer during Ali’s trial. It was on sale for $40 (marked down from $125) and they had my size! That was such a win!

I can’t get enough of this vest! It’s such a timeless piece. The classic navy and green plaid combined with the quality of Ralph Lauren makes it an amazing and versatile item. It will instantly make any look more refined and chic!
