Shop Gigi Hadid's bomber jacket style for less.
If you're just getting into the bomber jacket trend for fall 2016, you'll need to look back to last February when It Girl Gigi Hadid was already rocking this outerwear look. She paired a colorblock bomber jacket with all-black everything...fitted top, skinny pants, and YSL bag. Her super affordable and always classic Converse sneaks in white gave the look an athleisure vibe and played off the colorblocking on her jacket. Snag her look for less this season with our affordable finds including this must-have bomber jacket under $40!

Blushing Beauty: Chrissy Teigen's Longline Cardigan and Slides Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen casual style.
As fall's warm weather continues, Chrissy Teigen gives us more inspiration for transitional dressing, pairing a blush longline cardigan with a white tank, skinny jeans and slide sandals. The pop of goldenrod yellow from her bag combined with the soft neutral shades of her outfit are what really drew me to this look. It's so subtle yet so chic. And it never ceases to amaze me how so many celebrity outfits start with a white top and blue jeans, proving it's all about how you accessorize to make a look your own (on any budget!) Read on for my look for less finds, and don't miss the must-have choker necklace that gives this look just the right dose of on-trend edge...

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!

Vest Dressed: Kristin Chenoweth's Quilted Vest, Green Blouse and Ankle Boots Look for Less

Kristin Chenoweth looks comfy and cozy in a puffer vest, emerald green blouse, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
Just in time for those fall trips to the apple orchard and the pumpkin patch, Kristin Chenoweth models a quintessentially cute and cozy autumnal outfit featuring the must-have quilted vest. She layered hers over an emerald green blouse and skinny jeans, then accessorized with a Louis Vuitton crossbody bag, Western-inspired ankle boots and rainbow aviator sunglasses. I found the perfect vest to recreate her look for just $44 at Francesca's. You could swap the green blouse for any color you love, from a rich burgundy to an earthy olive (I own and love this one by Lush). With all the money you save on the clothes, splurge on the Michael Kors bag, which costs hundreds less than the LV, and will give your whole look a polished edge.
