When I heard Cassadee Pope say in an interview that she tries not to wear the same outfit twice on stage, it really stuck out to me since I’m used to blogging about Hayley Williams, who often wears the same outfit every night for a whole tour.

Cassadee does wear the same pieces multiple times – she wore the same faux leather shorts with different tops – but she mixes and matches pieces so that each outfit is unique. She has a very defined style, and she keeps a cohesive look by wearing a lot of pieces that are similar to each other. For most of Hey Monday’s fall tour, she wore bodysuits with high-waisted shorts or skirts.

Hayley tends to wear more expensive clothes, but she gets a lot of use out of them. Some fans got upset that Hayley had changed from her previously thrifty ways when she bought a pair of leopard pants costing nearly $200 (pictured on the right), but she wore the same pair of pants virtually every night on Paramore’s spring 2010 Pacific Rim and United States tours – about 4 months of touring in the same pants. So even though Cassadee shops at more affordable stores like Forever 21 and American Apparel, her tour wardrobe probably ends up costing more. Whose wardrobe was a better investment is a matter of opinion.

Which fashion philosophy are you? One favorite piece or a mix and match wardrobe? I’m a bit of both, but I’m more like Cassadee. Recently my go-to outfit is a button-up shirt with ruffles at the neck under a v-neck cardigan, and I have a lot of each that I mix and match. But I tend to wear the same pair of acid wash jeans and all-black Converse high-tops with everything.

This outfit is quite simple, but I saw the Forever 21 top that I thought resembled Hayley’s, so I decided to do a steal the look for it. Her exact shoes and top are both from Urban Outfitters, but seeing as this photo is nearly 3 years old they are both sold out. You can get her whole look for under $40 with these similar items:

Hayley wears a white blazer with black trim, a teal tube tube, black satin shirts, fishnet stockings, and black leather knee-high boots. Get the look with these similar items:

Hayley tweeted that these shorts, which she wore while painting a house for Habitat for Humanity, are from The Wonder Years (one of my absolute favorite bands). They aren’t available online, but you can get a very similar basic pair from Champion.

I recently identified Hayley’s top, but since I never found the pants, I thought I would give some similar options. Her exact boots are by Bed Stu, but I can’t find her pair on their website.
