CHUCK: PUSHING DAISIES

About the show:

This quirky and charming dramedy television series was rather short-lived with only 2 seasons (2007-2009) aired however the series has gained a band of dedicated fans that can't help but fall in love with the sweet band of characters. The shows events center around Ned (Lee Pace) and his sweetheart Charlotte Charles (Anna Friel), also known simply as "Chuck". Ned, a talented baker and pie shop owner, discovers at a young age that he has the power to revive the recently deceased with one touch, but with a second the victim returns (permanently) to their departed state. He teams up with a detective to put his gift to good use to solve murder mysteries by temporarily bringing back murder victims long enough to be told who their killer was and put justice in its place. Complications however arise when Chuck, whom Ned has hopelessly fallen for, is murdered. He brings her back to life and they fall in love but with one catch...they can never touch. 

LOOK 1: Floral Chic

Chuck is no stranger to a feminine floral ensemble. This one is a sweet daytime look that would be perfect in the springtime (it's not too far away!). Chuck is notorious for matching in her looks, so take her cue but keep it interesting with varying shades of pink.  

Cardigan: Rue21, Tank: Tilly's, Skirt: H&M, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Bag: Lori's

- A voluminous paper bag skirt in a bright coral shade is feminine while the high waist sticks with the retro look that is signature of Chuck.

- Vintage inspired floral print in a tank top adds a shot of traditional charm.

- Add a little warmth for spring with one of Chucks favorite pieces: the cardigan. This one's blush tone and floral appliques coordinates nicely with the floral print of the tank.

-Darling t-strap flats in a distressed white are sweet and comfortable.

-Hint to warmer weather with a casual daytime appeal with a simple straw handbag.

Look 2: Sweet As Pie

Consistently throughout the series Chuck is seen in cheery and bright ensembles. Color is one of the most notable elements of her costume design. Channel that cheer with a bright and girly outfit like the one below.

-A bright yellow dress is the perfect base to any sunny ensemble and this one with it's simple yet flattering cut and eyelet detailing would be a great versatile piece appropriate for a variety of occasions.
