Summer Professional: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's White Blazer and Pumps Look for Less

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's look for less
It's been well established on this blog that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has incredible style. Here, the model extraordinaire manages to put together a look that's both professional and on-trend. What I love about this look is that the blazer, t-shirt, jeans, pumps, and purse are all great staple items that can easily be mixed with other pieces in your closet. The light colors and fabrics say "summer," yet can still be reworked into outfits throughout the rest of the year. And that bag makes a fantastic work bag, year-round! Try the look for less with these affordable fashions priced from just $4 to $95.

Capsule Wardrobe: Color Block Dress, Brim Hat, Wedge Sandals

Capsule Wardrobe on a Budget: A week's worth of outfit inspiration from 3 items under $50
Welcome to Fashion Capsule! In this weekly segment, I'll show you how to style three items for an entire week’s worth of outfits. I'm a firm believer that the key factor in any stylish, but budgeted, wardrobe is recycling. It all begins with picking versatile items that can be worked into your existing wardrobe. This week, we'll be working with Lucluc's color block blue dress, Jessica Simpson’s espadrille wedges, and an H&M straw hat.

Hailey Baldwin's Varsity Jacket and Denim Mini Skirt Look for Less

We're having serious leg envy just looking at Hailey Baldwin rocking her button-front denim mini skirt while strolling around the streets of NYC with a friend. But it's her varsity jacket that makes the look (or was it an afterthought when the day took a chilly turn? The weather on the East Coast has been doing that a LOT lately). Hers looks a lot like Saint Laurent's varsity jacket ($2,550) but we found a stylish budget alternative that will give you a similar throwback vibe for less. Pair with Topshop's mini skirt (you'll get a lot of wear out of this one, promise) and some ankle boots and you're good to go.

I'm loving Queen Letizia of Spain's casual shopping look, photographed here at a book fair in Madrid. When you're carrying all your precious finds, you want to be comfortable, so a graphic tee and white jeans do the trick. Her platform sandals elevate the look (literally) while her perfectly coifed blunt bob is giving us serious hair envy. Want to play Queen for the day? Here are affordable fashion finds to recreate her regal look for less.
