Dallas-based fashion blogger Brighton Keller nails cozy-chic for fall in her plaid shirt, faux fur vest and tall boots ensemble - and it's a look I've pinned and can definitely see myself attempting to recreate this season! Check out Brighton's blog, Brighton the Day, to get the scoop on all the exact items she's wearing (many of which are budget-friendly!). I'm plotting to recreate this look for less with items under $40 that I spotted at Sears, of all places. The faux fur vest by Covington looks totally chic in real life and the plaid shirt for $12.99 is a no-brainer. All items are on sale now through 10/17 according to sears.com, so don't wait if you want to score these items at these prices.

If you want a lesson in how cool girls winterize their summer wardrobes, look no further than Dakota Fanning. Spotted in SoHo, the actress added fishnet tights and a black blazer to her denim shorts and black tee outfit for a grungy Downtown ensemble that we've easily recreated for you on a budget. Bringing the right attitude to the table to rock this look, however, rests entirely on your shoulders. Read on for the look for less, with pieces starting under $10...

Okay, I'm just going to give this one to you guys, no guessing necessary! Have you noticed the mock layer sweater trend this season? Designers are taking the guesswork out of layering by creating tops that look layered, but are really just fooling the eye. I love taking shortcuts in fashion (truly committed over here) so I love the idea of a two-in-one piece. You get the cool layered look without the bulk or bunching! It's a no brainer. I'm sold on the mock layer sweater and love the two options above. Simple yet chic and you can dress them up or down with different accessories. Are you a fan or would you rather do your own layering?

Low: APT. 9® MOCK-LAYER CREWNECK SWEATER, $25 (down from $36) at kohls.com

You can never have too many plaid shirts, am I right? A Saint Laurent tartan wool check shirt is $890 at nordstrom.com (hey it's real wool after all).

We get it: Just because it's fall doesn't mean it's cold where you happen to reside. And that's why Miranda Kerr's chic jet-setting outfit is inspiring us today. You can indulge your yearning for coats by draping a white topper over a summery print dress. The key is wearing your coat like a cape, fashion-editor style. Nude sandals and a black carryall complete the look, while a blue belt adds a touch of the unexpected. Read on to get our look for less picks...
