Emily Ratajkowski Look for Less
For our fashion flashback this week, we're looking into the not-so-distant past — 2015 to be exact — to steal some style inspiration from model Emily Ratajkowski. Here the 'Blurred Lines' beauty rocks a simple black t-shirt dress, over-the-knee suede boots and a mustard hued handbag. Emily stayed true to the outfit's overall minimalism by accessorizing with a silver ring, round clear-lens glasses and a pinky-nude lip. The dress is definitely a closet staple; dress it up with a pair of boots like Emily or keep it casual and pair it with classic sneakers for the athleisure look. Each aesthetic is effortless and embodies that signature 'model off-duty' style. Read on to shop my curations to get Emily's look, including a similar pair of boots from Boohoo that won't break the bank!
