Neon Brights: Christina Milian's Crop Top and Neon Pumps Look for Less

Christina Milian's neon yellow and black look for less
When you hear the words "crop top" and "neon" in the same sentence, you know things could go horribly awry fashion-wise. But not in the case of Christina Milian, who toned down her bright neon yellow pumps and lace crop top with black skinny jeans and a leather moto jacket. And even if she removes the jacket once she hits the clubs (or whatever chic destination she might be headed to), this look will still be stylishly cool and not over-the-top. Ready to wear neon the new way? Read on for our budget-friendly picks!

One-Piece Chic: Model Nicole Trunfio's Black Jumpsuit and Ankle Strap Heels Look for Less

Nicole Trunfio's black jumpsuit and ankle strap heels look for less
I'll admit I didn't know who Nicole Trunfio was until I came across this photo of the Australian model rocking a chic black jumpsuit and ankle strap heels - and did a double take. Her looks exudes cool, casual sophistication. And I found myself liking her style even more when I noticed she recycles her accessories (she's wearing the same stud purse and ankle-strap heels in this look, too). I think this is an outfit we can all imitate with ease, dressing up a one-piece for day or night all summer long and into the fall months, too. What more could you want? (Maybe those model-long legs but...shopping the look for less is the next best thing!)
