Chrissy Teigen Does the Pajama Trend Right

Chrissy Teigen wears the pajama trend with a Frame silk shirt and distressed skinny jeans.
Chrissy Teigen shows us how to do the the pajama trend right with a half-tucked silk shirt and distressed skinny jeans.

The supermodel opted for her Frame pinstripe silk pajama shirt ($275) in neutral white, but you could just as easily go bold with this printed satin pajama-style shirt by J.Crew, now an extra 30% off the sale price with code BIGSALE.

Just finish the look with bottoms that are obviously not meant for the boudoir and heels to elevate the look. Shop my under-$100 picks below...

Prepped and Ready: Kate Bosworth's Polished Look for Less

Kate Bosworth wears a white ruffle shirt with black jeans and black Mary Jane flats.
When I think of spring fashion, I always envision delicate lace, ruffles and pastel shades. Here, Kate Bosworth adds a touch of edge to the ultra-feminine aesthetic by pairing an eyelet-detailed white button up with tight black denim, patent leather double-strapped mary jane flats, blocky sunglasses, drop earrings and a patch-emblazoned leather satchel.

I'm a huge fan of dark hues (especially black) so seeing this eased transition into April ensemble is perfect for me. Plus, the personalized trend has been literally everywhere this year — I've been lusting after Kate Spade's new line of stickers, straps and charms for customizing my bags, but this Mix No. 6 satchel I stumbled upon has the exact aesthetic, and rings up at only $29.94! Read on for all my look-for-less picks under $100...

Kiernan Shipka's Bell Sleeve Blouse and Jeans Look for Less

Kiernan Shipka's bell sleeve blouse and jeans look for less
Statement sleeves are everything for spring, and Kiernan Shipka shows us exactly how to wear the bell sleeve trend while attending a Chanel event (presumably dressed in Chanel, too).

The formula for fashion trendsetters is to pair a bold sleeve with simple jeans and understated heels for a look that's feminine and fresh.

For my budget take, I picked a blouse from Chicwish - I see their tops all over Instagram and Pinterest. Each one is more unique and dramatic than the next!

Then I added these sandals from Who What Wear - it's a lower, more wearable heel. You might even call this style granny-chic but I think it looks high-end and balances the girly-ness of the top especially well.

She paired her bold yet casual blouse with skinny ripped jeans and white embroidered sneakers for a laid-back athleisure look.

I love the combination of an ultra-feminine top with sporty sneakers and everyday jeans. It makes this type of top much less intimidating and much more wearable. Try the trend for spring and summer with my picks mostly under $25...
