At this point in her career, separating Sarah Jessica Parker from Carrie Bradshaw is difficult.

Especially now that she has her new shoe collection to promote, it’s as if real-life Sarah Jessica and shoe-loving Carrie have morphed into the same person.

The lines are blurred even further now that SJP has chosen layering tops under her dresses as her go-to look while on her shoe line’s promotional tour. The mix-and-match-everything style is unmistakably Patricia Field dressing Carrie Bradshaw.

The only thing missing is a gigantic flower brooch, and SJP’s outfit would’ve looked like it came straight from the early aughts.

Sarah Jessica kicked off the SJP Collection promotional tour in a pleated pink Valentino dress, which she layered with a mesh-sleeved top underneath.

SJP wore the shirt-under-a-dress look again on March 6, when the SJP Collection was launched at The Grove in LA.

This time, she added black tights, making it look like she was wearing a full-length black bodysuit underneath her white Dolce & Gabbana eyelet dress. We think it’s a great way to transform an otherwise sexy, skin-baring look into something cute and quirky.

For her promotional tour’s most recent stop at Nordstrom in Florida, SJP wore a full button-down shirt underneath a pink Saint Laurent lace dress.

Adding the stirrup leggings is undeniably Patricia Field’s influence, and you can’t get Carrie Bradshaw anymore than those SJP “Carrie” t-strap pumps.
