We love Zooey Deschanel’s kooky dress sense at ShinyStyle, and although she’s not exactly a household name yet, she probably will be soon. Her last film 500 Days of Summer put her alongside indie film darling Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and while she earns even more cool points for being in a band, it’s her personal style that really sets her apart from most other actresses. Her trademark bows, retro dresses and fringe (think Katy Perry, only a lot better) make it hard to believe she’s nearly 30 – and proves there’s no need to stop dressing in a cute way just because you’re out of your teens.

We’re guessing she’s a fan of Luella, Karen Walker and Erin Fetherston, but you can get a similar look for much less – just remember to look in vintage stores too for retro accessories that Zooey would love.
