Check Please: Taylor Swift's Plaid Button-Up and Black Skinny Jean Look for Less

Taylor Swift Look for Less
Nothing says fall like a plaid flannel shirt — on trend, so comfortable and easy to style. Here, Taylor Swift welcomes the autumnal season with this laid back look featuring a checkered button-up, black ankle skinnies, patent loafers with chain detailing, a black crossbody bag and a delicate gold chain. What I love about this look is the simplicity, it looks chic and put together while still being effortless. This look is definitely one of my go-tos for when I'm running late, and Taylor's top is a great staple piece for your wardrobe. I've recreated the look with a BP. Plaid Tunic from Nordstrom ($44) and this top not only looks like a dead-ringer for Taylor's, but it's so cozy and can be paired with nearly everything. Read on to get Ms. Swift's ensemble with each piece retailing for under $45.

Throwback Thursday: Cameron Diaz's Plaid Shirt and Blazer Look for Less

Cameron Diaz looks polished and put together in a tan blazer, plaid shirt, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
For today's Throwback Thursday look, I went back to the start of 2014 when Cameron Diaz made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote her book 'The Body Book' wearing a casual yet polished outfit that definitely showed off her credentials in the best way. The actress-turned-author paired a plaid shirt with a tan blazer, dark-wash skinny jeans and black high-heel ankle boots for the occasion. I wanted to recreate this ensemble because it's a look that can work for so many fall functions, from the office to the weekend...and something tells me this would be especially cute for teachers, as we're in back-to-school season! I found the perfect flannel at Joe Fresh and then brought the look into 2016 by updating the jeans to a pair of raw edge hem jeggings from Express. Ankle boots from DSW's new Mix no.6 line and a suede bag by Merona finish this look for less, which can be yours with finds starting at just $11.70...
