The Good Wife “The Bit Bucket” Recap

There was a lot going on in this week’s episode of The Good Wife. ChumHum was back and so was Alicia’s mother, Veronica (Stockard Channing). The partners are becoming very suspicious of the fourth year lawyers as they prepare to leave the firm. Diane (Christine Baranski) is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Floral Tweed Jacket in the opening scene.  I found a few similar options, the first, an Anne Klein Tweed Jacket ($103.99), the second, a crinkle cut jacket from QVC ($52) and the third, a white tweed jacket from Rafaella ($24.60):

The new office space looks great, but juggling two firms is starting to take its toll on Alicia (Julianna Marguiles). She wears a 35DL Maroon Suit. Daniel Lawson, the stylist from The Good Wife is actually starting this new line. The suit isn’t available yet, but you can watch for it here. I found a similar Tahari ASL Suit ($179.99):

In court this week, ChumHum takes on the government and Alicia and team get creative in how to resolve their conflict with their gag order. It is an interesting ethical dilemma as Cary (Matt Czuchry) and Alicia are planning to take ChumHum with them when they start their firm. In court, Alicia wears a blue silk suit by Dior. I found a similar suit from Tahari ASL ($179.99):

Diane has an ethical dilemma of her own – trash Will (Josh Charles) or don’t get the State Supreme Court nomination. She wears a red blouse – I found a similar silk blouse for $107.20:

During her interview she decides to take the high road and not bash Will. The reporter doesn’t seem to like this and the interview wasn’t great. Also, as a PR person, I have to mention that it was an extremely hostile interview and I’m surprised that Eli (Alan Cumming) didn’t sit in. Diane wears a black blazer with a gold pattern. I found a few metallic blazers that could work for this look, a metallic jacket from Lafayette 148 ($698) and a Rafaella Metallic Jacket ($76.99):

Alicia meets her mom for a drink to say thank you for providing the extra money for her new firm’s new office. They get drunk off of margaritas and it is a great scene. I love when Alicia gets real and actually shares what she is feeling. She wears a tweed blazer; I found a similar Nine West Tweed Blazer for $95.99:

I was surprised by this…I really thought she would stick to her principles, but I guess she really wanted the Supreme Court position. It’s too bad because Eli called back as soon as she finished the interview letting her off the hook. Diane wore a teal dress for the interview. I found a few similar options  – a Michael Kors Wrap Dress ($120) and a Ronni Nicole Knotted Dress ($76.50):

Will is going to flip when he finds out, next week’s episode should be explosive! I wonder what will happen when he finds out about Alicia leaving as well.

What do you think Becca (Dreama Walker) is up to?

The Good Wife “Everything is Ending” Recap

I have always loved the clothes from The Good Wife. Alicia Florrick (Julianna Marguiles) and Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) are impeccably dressed in every episode. I really wanted to cover this show this season and try to find some of these amazing looks for less.

The first scene we see is the ending of last season, where Cary (Matt Czuchry) visits Alicia to discuss starting their own firm. The dress is so sexy, so you think she is meeting with Will, but it turns out to be Cary. It is a black Antonio Berardi dress. I found two different options, the Black Halo Jackie Dress ($345) and a sexy David Miester dress ($250, worn by Marcia Gay Harden on the red carpet).

black dress Alicia and team are working on a death penalty appeal which makes for a fairly serious episode. The comedic relief was Monica “teleconferencing in” on some sort of robotic segway and not really making it work. That was sort of ridiculous, but I could see offices trying to do something like that. In any case, it lightened up the episode. Alicia is wearing a teal Christian Dior blazer. I found a similar option for less at Dress Barn for $39: teal blazer I also have to mention how great the music was in this episode – it really brought the time limitations of this case to life. And a big hello to Melissa George who is guest starring as Marilyn “Mitch” Garbanza. I was a big fan of Alias back in the day and she was always a character I loved to hate. I am excited to see how her character will develop this season.

Marilyn wears a white blouse with leather trim. I found a few similar options, the first a B and K by BUCHANAN & KANG blouse ($295), the second a Elie Tahari Chelsea Blouse ($186), and the third a Kardashian Kollection blouse ($33.24):

bw blouseMarilyn has a very feminine look, which might explain why Eli (Alan Cumming) and Peter (Chris Noth) decide to promote her out of the office – so as not to send the wrong message. She wears a high-neck cream blouse. I found a similar looking blouse from Equipment ($124.80):

white blouseBack at the office, Cary confronts Alicia to make sure she is still on board with going out on their own. The partners complicate things when they confront her about the 4th years leaving to start their own firm. I think this will be a very difficult transition, it will be interesting to see how things play out.

Diane and Robyn (Jess Weixler) are still working on the appeal case. Diane wears a Saint Laurent blouse ($1257.53). I found a few similar blouses, the first a coral blouse from Mango ($59.99), the second an American Apparel blouse ($42.99), and a fuschia blouse from JCP ($15.99):

red blouseCary visits Alicia at home to find out what the partners know, putting her in the middle. She wears a Theory Jondi Jacket ($166) and I found a similar Boucle Jacket from the Gap ($88):
