Capsule Wardrobe: Cotton Blouse, Fringe Miniskirt, Nude Crossbody

Capsule Wardobe
Welcome back to Fashion Capsule! Thank you again for giving me such amazing feedback. I love reading your comments! In this weekly segment, I will show you how to style three items under $50 for an entire week’s worth of outfits. We’ve got a fun group of outfits this week, from a folk-rock work look (oh, yes!) to a Parisian weekend ensemble. Let’s get started!

One-Piece Chic: Model Nicole Trunfio's Black Jumpsuit and Ankle Strap Heels Look for Less

Nicole Trunfio's black jumpsuit and ankle strap heels look for less
I'll admit I didn't know who Nicole Trunfio was until I came across this photo of the Australian model rocking a chic black jumpsuit and ankle strap heels - and did a double take. Her looks exudes cool, casual sophistication. And I found myself liking her style even more when I noticed she recycles her accessories (she's wearing the same stud purse and ankle-strap heels in this look, too). I think this is an outfit we can all imitate with ease, dressing up a one-piece for day or night all summer long and into the fall months, too. What more could you want? (Maybe those model-long legs but...shopping the look for less is the next best thing!)

Southern Belle: Reese Witherspoon's Magnolia Top and White Circle Skirt Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon's magnolia top and white circle skirt look for less
Ok, Reese, we get it. Everything from your new Draper James collection fits you and your personality to a tee, including this darling Nashville Top ($175) featuring a white magnolia print. Paired with a white circle skirt by Blaque label ($128, currently on back-order on Shopbop.com - similar here), white pumps and rattan bag, you are the picture of summer chic with a Southern charm. It's kind of addictive, so we've recreated an inspired-by look that will help you achieve Reese's glowing style on any budget!
