Lovely Layers: Jamie Chung's Grey Sweater Dress and Camel Vest Look for Less

Recreate Jamie Chung's grey sweaterdress and camel vest look for less.
Jamie Chung was seen shopping at Melrose Place in Los Angeles wearing a grey turtleneck dress, cognac brown knee-high boots, and a camel vest.

The style pro finished her look with retro-inspired sunglasses and a bohemian tote featuring a geometric print and macrame detailing.

The main takeaways from this look (and there are many!) are the gorgeous mix of neutrals, the winter layering technique of adding a vest, and the precise proportions.

To tell you the truth, this look was a lot harder to recreate on a budget than I anticipated. While sleeveless blazers/jackets and longline duster vests (or whatever you want to call them!) have been super hot lately, they also seem to be sold out everywhere. Fortunately I stumbled upon one option at Amazon that I hope you'll like.

Back to Black: Chrissy Teigen's Monochromatic Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen Look for Less
Black is—and will always be— my favorite color to dress in. It manages to say so much, while saying so little. It's always in season, always on-trend and always a go-to for women in fashion.

Chrissy Teigen must agree since she stepped out in this monochromatic ensemble featuring a coordinating off-the-shoulder sweater, ripped jeans, pointed booties, fringed handbag and aviator sunglasses. Combined they create a knockout look, but on their own each piece can be incorporated into countless ensembles.

This past year seemed to be the year of the decolletages with tops, dresses and jackets grazing just below the shoulders. Though the weather may be chillier, Chrissy's sweater is a great option for extending the trend into winter — and 2017! Read on to shop my favorite picks for the look below, featuring pieces priced under $55!
