Throwback Thursday: Alessandra Ambrosio's Plaid Shirtdress and Fur Vest Look for Less

Alessandra Ambrosio wears a plaid shirtdress with a fur vest, opaque tights and Western style ankle booties.
Trends come and go in fashion, so it's nice to see this Alessandra Ambrosio look from 2011 could still be worn today - with no adjustments - and still be totally on point. The model started with a classic plaid shirtdress and then added a faux fur vest, opaque black tights and black ankle booties to bring the dress into fall. Her fringe bag and Western-style booties give the look her signature boho vibe without being over-the-top. I love that I already own all of these pieces, so I just have to shop my closet to get this casual fall look! If you're missing something, read on for our expertly curated picks under $40 each...

Rocker Chic: Lucy Hale's Wrap Top and Ankle Booties Look for Less

Copy Lucy Hale's casual streetstyle look.
When the weather is unpredictable (it's supposed to be in the 80s today), you have to adapt. That's why we're loving Lucy Hale's all-black rocker chic look that blends elements you can wear in any season. The actress paired a plunging v-neck wrap top with a lace bralette, skinny jeans and black block heel booties for a cool, understated vibe. Her delicate layered jewelry, bucket bag and fedora add personality. Add a chunky cardigan sweater to this look when (and if) it cools down, or wear it as is for these summery fall days!
