Take Ugly Betty herself. She's not so ugly, really, in fact I think she's rather cute. However, in the superficial world of a fashion magazine, she sticks out like a sore thumb – but at least she's being true to herself. I like that. She's definitely getting savvier with her clothes choices; as season three progresses, for example, we're seeing leggings and big belts which are de rigeur at the moment. It's all a bit clumsily put together and perhaps the overall effect is a little too bright, but that's half her charm. If you want to recreate the kooky Betty look have a gander at these items I found below...
This bright, multi-floral skirt from Dorothy Perkins is right up Betty's street.
Cinch in your waist with this super quirky elastic Max C London belt available at A.S.O.S.
It's good to see Betty in heels, walk tall with these comfy platforms from Evans.
Amanda is the total opposite of Betty in that her style is sleek and always bang-up-to-date. She's definitely one of the sexiest and most fashion-forward characters in Ugly Betty.
Take these River Island heels, for example. Who else would wear anything so outrageous?
Pair them with this sexy black, crochet, batwing top from Dorothy Perkins...
...and these chocolate brown foil leggings from New Look, and you'll be strutting around in no time.
For the men out there, it is Marc who raises the bar in the fashion stakes. His look is smart, but noticeably less business-like than the other men in the show. I think he looks great.
His trousers are always the smartest item he wears, and these luxurious Black Label trousers from Burton are perfect.
Team it with this eye-catching River Island shirt to make an impact.
Marc loves his cardigans, and this purple cardigan from Topman is a stylish addition.
Season 4 of Ugly Betty will be hitting the screens in the U.S. this Autumn, and I've read that with Betty's promotion comes a new and improved look. She keeps the braces but her outfits are more coordinated than ever before and her hair is smoother. So exciting!

I can't stand Ugly Betty, haha. I've hated it since it was Betty la Fea, and a number of Spanish-speaking remakes of that novela are just as bad. But anyway, you have an amazing eye for fashion, something I lack entirely. I demand that we go on with our plan to live next door to each other so you can come over every morning and dress me. :D
You know...I was looking at those red platforms and thought they'd look amazing on you. But I don't know if they're your style or not, haha. We need a wardrobe party or something...
I love those red platforms! I can't walk in heels, but as long as I was sitting I think they'd look fab, hahaha. I have a similar shoes on an online wishlist:

Those shoes are high, but platforms with a medium heel (say 2.5 - 3") are easier to walk in than no platform and a higher heel. Not that most people really need another excuse to go shoe shopping, but you know...:-D
(Oh, and those red ones are so Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz, haha!)
I'm personally a big fan of natural-insignia blog. Thanks for sharing this post.
