Primped and Polished: Lori Loughlin's Plaid Blazer and Riding Boot Look for Less

Lori Loughlin Look for Less
This year we saw a re-imagining of schoolgirl style, simple silhouettes and plaid prints that are a major step up from the uniforms I was envious of as a child. Chloe Sevigny wore the trend with a layered turtleneck and dress ensemble and here, Lori Loughlin puts her spin on the style with a fitted jacket and muted neutrals.

Lori stepped out in her Smythe Peak-Lapel Plaid Blazer ($695) paired with a white tee, skinny black jeans, dark brown suede boots and a coordinating satchel. She kept it simple with accessories, wearing a gray scarf, gold trimmed aviator sunglasses and a black leather belt.

This look is so clean and put together, plus it totally brings images of boarding school girls to mind with major equestrian vibes. Perfect for a day out on the town running errands or grabbing lunch with a group of friends. Shop my picks below to steal her style and get the entire look for less than half the cost of her jacket!

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!

Posh Panache: Sharon Stone's Biker Jacket and Fedora Look for Less

Sharon Stone Look for Less
I love mixing up my style on a daily basis. One day I'll feel like going glam, the next I'm all about style with an edge.

Sharon Stone does the same by mixing elements of multiple styles into one cohesive look. Sharon paired a black leather moto jacket with a white tunic, distressed boyfriend jeans and western black booties. For accessories, the star added a coordinating fedora, leather satchel, scarf belt and gold tassel lariat necklace.

The jacket, top and jeans are great wardrobe staples and by swapping out hat, handbag and jewelry styles you can customize this outfit to your taste and create multiple looks. Shop my picks below, including my favorite leather jacket from H&M and other great finds for under $100!
