The Good Wife “The Next Day” Recap

I’m not sure how you can top the last episode, but this one was pretty good. Diane (Christine Baranski) is preparing to become a judge, Will (Josh Charles) is losing himself in a new girlfriend and Alicia (Julianna Marguiles) is running her new firm out of her house. Alicia wears a cashmere gray zip up sweater by Richard Grant. I found a similar StudioLux Jacket by Under Armour ($129.99): Zip up Marilyn (Melissa George) stops by to discuss ethics with Alicia. Is this a real job in the governor’s office, because it seems sort of annoying to me. She is like the ethics police. I like her character though and her clothes are great. She wears a black blazer with ruffles along the edge and a high collared white blouse.  This Cremieux Juliet Blouse ($79.99) and INC Ruffle Trim Jacket ($83.99) provide a similar look: ruffle jacket Diane is busy filling in with Alicia’s old client against Nancy Crozier (Mamie Gummer) of all people. Diane wears a Rope Matelasse Jacket from Chado Ralph Rucci ($1715). You can get a similar look with this Dolce Vita Ashna Metallic Tiles Blazer ($208):

gold jacket

In the middle of her argument, the lawyers are called into chambers and the client decides to change her counsel from Diane to Alicia and Cary (Matt Czuchry). I love how the judges react to this – hilarious! Alicia wears an Armani Micro Herringbone Draped Lapel Jacket ($1395).  I found this Elle Ruffle Blazer ($21.60) that provides a similar look:

grey blazer

After court, Marilyn stops by again and we discover that she is pregnant. This makes her character more likeable and gives her a chance to bond with Alicia.

The next day, Alicia takes Will and Diane to the Disciplinary Board to get their client’s files back from Lockhart Gardner. I am surprised at how far she is taking this. She wears an LT Bennett Julie Grosgrain Jacket ($425). This Kasper Framed Flyaway Jacket ($71.40) is similar:

kasper jacket

I can’t believe how cold Alicia was to Will during this. I understand that she needed to let him go, but coming after him like this doesn’t seem like her. After the meeting Diane finally learns that she is out for the Supreme Court position. She wears a vibrant blue and green brocade jacket. I found a Tahari Jacquard Contrast-Trim Jacket ($71.40) that is similar:

jacquard

Things get a little weird when Diane’s new husband has a lead in the gun case, but it’s not Diane’s case anymore. Alicia then convinces him to testify for the client.

Marilyn comes back to Alicia’s house and starts digging into Peter’s internet taxation speech and is trying to make it look like Florrick Agos got the ChumHum business because of this speech. She’s not wrong, but she’s not gaining any friends here.

Back in court, Alicia has Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole) on the stand to testify about the defective gun. Alicia recycles a Moschino jacket from last season. This Jones New York blazer ($99.99) is similar:

moschino

Kalinda (Archi Panjabi) has to break it to Diane that she is no longer being considered for the Supreme Court position. She goes to the bathroom and breaks down. I feel bad for her, she worked so hard to get to the Supreme Court and hurt her relationship with Will and then Alicia’s actions ruin her chances. It is really a shame. Diane wears a tan dress and an Alchemy Classic “O” Abs Choker ($225).  I found a similar mocha dress by Andrew Marc ($59.40):

beige dress

Back at the Disciplinary Board Alicia, Will, Cary and Diane are arguing over client files. Alicia wears an olive Tom Ford skirt suit and Diane wears a fuchsia jacket with a vintage pin. I had a hard time finding a match for Alicia’s jacket, but found a similar color Elie Tahari jacket ($199):

olive jacket

For Diane, I found this Liz Claiborne Ponte Peplum Jacket ($47.99) and a great vintage brooch from Etsy ($24):

pink jacket

In the end, Lockhart Gardner gets their case back, but Diane officially loses the Supreme Court position. It is a bittersweet victory.

The Good Wife “Hitting the Fan” Recap

This episode was the best hour of television I have seen in years. If you aren’t watching this show, now is the time to start. The build up to the moment Will (Josh Charles) discovers Alicia’s (Julianna Marguiles) betrayal was perfect and the moment did not disappoint. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode loving every second.

103743_0401b

The most heartbreaking part of the whole episode was Will’s reaction. It seemed like he was heartbroken and sick all at the same time. He stayed impressively calm throughout everything though. WOW…amazing scenes. The musical score was also right on the money, it kept the intensity flowing throughout the entire episode. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite part of this episode, but I think Peter (Chris Noth) confronting Will on sleeping with Alicia may have been a high point. Again, WOW!

Throughout the episode, Alicia was wearing the same Number 35 blazer with leather elbow patches featured in last week’s episode. I found a similar Mossimo blazer ($39.99):

zip upAlso, the sex scene between Peter and Alicia – where did that inner vixen come from? Seriously, who is this lady and what have they done with Alicia. In any case, I am looking forward to seeing this new side of her. She wears a leather blazer during the ChumHum meeting. I found a similar Calvin Klein blazer for $89.99:

leather jacket

In the second ChumHum meeting, she wears a beautiful royal blue dress and blazer to win the business. I found a similar Anne Klein jacquard dress ($99) and blazer ($129):

blue dress

Then right at the end, we discover that Peter has changed his mind about asking Diane (Christine Baranski) to be the next nominee. Poor Diane, I felt really bad for her, although she didn’t have to tell Will that Alicia was leaving the firm.

The Good Wife “Outside the Bubble” Recap

I love that Viola Walsh (Rita Wilson) is back this episode. I love her animosity with Diane (Christine Baranski). The episode starts from the paralegal’s point of view. Funny how the only person that even knows her name is Alicia (Julianna Margulies). Alicia wears an Escada Pleated Cutaway Jacket ($1795), also seen on Scandal. I found an even better look for less with the Elle Pleated Blazer from Kohl’s ($44.80):

escada

I also love that Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is back. Her interaction with David Lee (Zach Grenier) is hilarious. Diane and Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole) are finally getting married. It is interesting to watch him interact with her friends, but even I thought that the whole political scene was a little overboard. Diane wears a red suede military jacket. I found a similar jacket from QVC ($86.90): red jacketI don’t know what sort of friends would grill your fiance about their politics…obviously not very good ones. They even come over to confront Diane after the fact, but Diane holds her own in a fantastic green dress. I found this similar Aiden Maddox Sequin Dress ($295): green dressDuring the deposition with the paralegal, Alicia wore a Double-Face Crepe Jacket from the Armani Collezioni Collection ($1295). This Tahari blazer ($69.99) is a great match: purple blazerThe paralegal’s lawsuit is getting out of hand, but as Diane has to come in for her deposition. This is where she starts to catch on to something odd with Alicia. It’s too bad, because the fourth years almost got away with leaving, but they stayed too late. I loved Viola’s leopard print jacket and found a similar one from Boston Proper ($129): leopardOne of the issues that comes up during the deposition is that Will (Josh Charles) was sleeping with underlings in his office. Nobody knew it was Alicia, but it brings up some questions and forces them to revisit their past. During their exchange, you can definitely see there are some lingering feelings there, but those will be gone as soon as Alicia tells him she’s leaving the firm. Alicia wears an Akris Punto Blazer ($1460) – this printed Grace Elements blazer ($59.99) is a great match: black and whiteDiane decides to meet Kurt’s friends, who turn out to be a bunch of women in their 20’s. It makes Diane uncomfortable and she questions getting married to him. She wore a sweater dress with a jeweled neckline. I found a similar Michael Kors dress ($160):

jeweled

Cary (Matt Czuchry) finds out that one of the fourth years has leaked an incriminating video to Viola. This puts them in a difficult situation because he got caught and will now get fired without his bonus. This guy was a jerk, I hope after what happens he won’t be coming to the new firm. Alicia wears a tie-neck blouse; I found a similar Nine West Blouse ($39.98):

tie blouse
Diane meets with one of her clients who divulges that Alicia is heading up the new firm, confirming Diane’s suspicions. Diane wears a leopard sheath dress. I found three great options for this look, the first an Anne Klein sheath dress ($64.99), the second another Anne Klein dress ($59.40) and the third is a Jones New York dress ($59):
leopard dress

All of this sleuthing doesn’t get in the way of her wedding as she meets up with Kurt to get married at the Justice of the Peace. On her wedding day, Diane goes simple with a long-sleeved black sheath dress and a beautiful firefly brooch. This Diane von Furstenberg Messon dress is a steal at $135 and this firefly brooch is still available on eBay ($24.99):

firefly

Alicia bumps into Diane at the end of the episode and Diane doesn’t say a word to her. Alicia brushes it off, but Diane is deciding whether or not to tell Will about Alicia’s betrayal. Alicia wears a grey zip-up blazer in this scene. I found a similar Mossimo blazer ($39.99):

zip up

The Good Wife “A Precious Commodity” Recap

I have to hand it to Diane (Christine Baranski), she owned up right away to Will (Josh Charles) that she burned him in the Law Review interview. That couldn’t have been easy and I don’t think a lot of people would face it head on. This is why I like Diane’s character so much. She doesn’t seem afraid of very much. The first family of Illinois got their inaugural photos taken. Alicia (Julianna Marguiles) wears the sold-out Gammner dress from The Row. For a similar look try this Nicole Miller Sheath Dress ($275) or this Ponte Sheath Dress ($88):

Alicia gets called away on an interesting case about a surrogate. In the meantime Will starts to make a case to push Diane out of the firm. Alicia wears a purple collarless blazer for her meeting with the surrogate and the parents. I found a similar blazer at DressBarn for $79.50: purple blazer Peter (Chris Noth) and Eli (Alan Cumming) bring back Marilyn (Melissa George) to give her the Ethics Committee job back, but she is no pushover and demands unfettered access to Peter…this should be interesting. She wears a black peplum dress. I found a Calvin Klein peplum dress for $118: peplum

David Lee (Zach Grenier) decides to join Alicia in the surrogate case, as he has a larger prize in mind. I love that Alicia catches on to his plan right away. She is one smart cookie. She is always the voice of reason, especially in the Diane situation as she reminds everyone that Diane will be a Supreme Court justice and they might want to leave things on good terms. Alicia wears a patterned skirt suit by Escada. I found a purple and black patterned skirt suit from Le Suit ($59.99) that has a similar sense of whimsy:

escada

The firm gives Diane an exit package, but she declines saying that they can do better. They want to keep her clients in good standing. Diane is wearing a white textured jacket from Armani and a vintage firefly brooch. I found an MNG white tweed jacket ($55) and a vintage brooch on eBay ($24.99):

armani

Then Will asks Alicia to replace Diane as managing partner! WOW, I didn’t see that one coming – he is going to be furious when she leaves with Cary (Matt Czuchry). This really puts her in a difficult position.

Back in court, Alicia is arguing to let her client keep the baby she was carrying. It is an interesting argument. She wears a Giorgio Armani Ribbed Front Jacket ($2795). I found this Star Jones blazer that has a similar seam detail ($65):

ribbed blazer

Marilyn is back on the Ethics Committee giving Eli a hard time already .She looks great doing it in a white v-neck blouse with pleats. I found an INC pleated blouse at Macy’s ($72.50). When she talks to Peter you can already see that they have chemistry…I think she will spell trouble for him. No wonder he is in such a hurry to renew his vows with Alicia.

pleated blouse

Cary confronts Alicia about getting asked to be managing partner, he makes a good point, that she will always be under Will if she stays. I think that if she never had the affair with Will it would be different, but I don’t think they can work that closely and keep it clean. Then Robyn (Jess Weixler) lets it slip that Alicia is leaving the firm, which Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) didn’t know.

Alicia sits through Will’s discussion with Diane, where she rejects the exit package again. Alicia realizes that if she becomes managing partner, she could one day be having this same discussion with Will. I think she can’t believe how ugly it’s become. She immediately goes to Cary and tells him that they need to leave this week. She wears a Rena Lange striped blazer. You can try this Anne Klein linen blazer ($109) for a similar look:

rena lange

Diane is a formidable opponent in a Moschino asymmetric ruffled jacket ($2, 438.79). I found a black INC military jacket for $119.50:

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):

dolce and gabbana

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):

red suit

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):

dior

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:

red blouse

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):

jacket

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:

tweedEli visits Diane to convince her to do another interview, this time bashing Will. She is very reluctant to go through with this, but ultimately gives the interview. 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):

teal dress

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?
