I've been itching to revamp my wardrobe for weeks, and binge-watching season two of Dead to Me in the span of two days made that desire grow tenfold. In the Netflix series's highly anticipated second installment, Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini) continues her reign as the Queen of Floral Dresses, breaking out a slew of spring-ready wrap dresses in addition to cool moto jackets, calf-high boots, and denim skirts that made me want to cartoonishly climb through my TV just so I could check her tags to learn the designer.
While watching all the drama unfold in season two — and phew, there is a lot of it — I was struck with a realization about Judy's wardrobe. Her personal style and penchant for sweet floral prints echo her bubbly, bright-side-seeking nature. What's more is that her outfits offer a pretty stark contrast to Jen Harding's (Christina Applegate) array of muted button-down shirts, blazers, and slacks — yet another reminder to the viewer just how opposite they really are. Whether that was the intention of Dead to Me costume designer Trayce Gigi Field, I'm not sure, but either way, she did an incredible job piecing together Judy's carefree wardrobe, if I do say so myself.
If you, too, can't stop thinking about Judy's cute season two outfits, I tracked down exactly where to shop some of her pieces, with a little help from the screen-style experts at Shop Your TV. Get the full scoop on how to re-create her looks ahead. (Fair warning: there are some spoilers interspersed, just in case you've somehow resisted the urge to binge-watch the latest episodes in one sitting.)
In the ninth episode of season two, Judy wears this gorgeous Rebecca Taylor dress while visiting her mom in prison. It features blue and pink blooms and quarter-length sleeves, and she styles it with a neutral belt, brown boots, and heart-shaped necklace.

If I could borrow one outfit from Judy's closet, it'd be this combo, hands down. She rocks Ulla Johnson's ruffled, metallic-dot-covered Erisa Dress with Blank NYC's Corduroy Moto Jacket and brown heeled boots while grocery shopping with Jen in episode five. Her exact dress is devastatingly sold out, but you can score her cool jacket (and one of her necklaces!) ahead.

Judy slips into this balloon-sleeved Elie Tahari shirtdress before heading to Steve's memorial service at the beach. Seems like a pretty solid choice for looking innocent even though she knows damn well Steve's already dead, if you ask me!

Gosh, even Judy's robe game is on point! In episode three, we catch a glimpse of her rocking this silky floral kimono by Macy's brand INC International Concepts. It's unfortunately sold out at the moment, but I found a few similar styles for you to shop ahead.
I've been waiting to see more of this gorgeous floral maxi dress ever since Dead to Me's season two trailer arrived, and man, it does not disappoint. There are currently a few different Amazon listings for it, one of which you can check out ahead.
