Looking for another way to style your favorite chambray shirt? Take a style cue from Olivia Palermo who paired her top with darker wash distressed jeans, a patterned jacquard coat, blushed nude pointed pumps, a gold bangle and a jeweled clutch. I love this take on classic pieces, typically I would stray from matching two jean pieces but this combo looks amazing. Such a fresh idea for spring! Also perfect for spring is Olivia's rosy terracotta lip, it makes a bold statement but it isn't too dramatic and I've found the perfect match from ColourPop Cosmetics.

Green Acres: Diane Kruger's Black Overall and Floral Silk Scarf Look for Less

Country girl meets city chic in this latest look from Diane Kruger. The actress paired her black denim overalls with a simple white tee, floral silk scarf, platform sneakers, square sunglasses and a chain-strap crossbody. Diane also kept a camel peacoat close just in case the weather got a little chilly, because let's face it the spring weather can be extremely unpredictable. The overalls trend can be daunting and you really have to pair it with carefully selected pieces in order to avoid that farmer vibe. Diane accomplishes this through her shoes and glasses, which keep the look playful and trendy, while her scarf and coat offer an added bonus element of sophistication. Read on to score my look-a-like finds for these pieces and get the rest of Diane's look for less.

Spring is the ideal time to shine in bright colors and pastels, but that's not to say you can't continue wearing your neutrals and blacks. Take a fashion cue from Nikki Reed who combined dark and light hues to make her edgy ensemble spring-ready. Nikki paired a navy striped tee with a bright white midi skirt, light grey duster coat, black tie sandals, coordinating leather bucket bag and a set of chic layered necklaces. Her wrapped skirt is my must-have piece for this look. The length is perfect for spring and summer months, the wrap detail is playful-chic and this piece can easily go from day job to drinks with a simple accessories swap.
