One-Piece Wonder: Alessandra Ambrosio's Satin Jacket and Jumpsuit Look for Less

Alessandra Ambrosio Look for Less
A good jumpsuit is a definite closet must-have. Dressed up or down, this piece is always in style and so simple when you're crunched for time or looking to simplify your look.

Alessandra Ambrosio rocks this sleeveless romper over a simple black tee, paired with a waist-tied bomber jacket, leather sneakers and mirrored sunglasses. I love the original color palette and Alessandra's ASTARS 'Marching Orders' Jumpsuit ($129), but in this recreation I wanted to switch it up a bit with a more versatile black jumpsuit and slouchy gray tee.

Posh in Pink: Joan Small's Shearling Coat and Suede Boot Look for Less

Joan Smalls Look for Less
The ombré trend is still in full swing and my favorite way to style it is by focussing on one statement item and coordinating the rest of my ensemble to accent the softer tones.

Here, Joan Smalls highlights her scarf by pairing it with matching shades of cream and light pink. Joan styled the piece with a luxe faux fur coat, bootcut pants, a cropped ribbed sweater, boot, mirrored sunglasses and a black cross body bag. I love the simplicity of a neutral background that emphasizes and coordinates with one key piece.

This soft pink hue is my favorite for winter, it's not too pink to be considered a pastel spring shade and reminds me of Pantone's Rose Quartz Color of the Year 2016. Read on to shop my finds styled to coordinate with the Merona Pink Scarf from Target for only $5.23!
