Olivia Munn's Tan Cardigan and Gucci Belt Look for Less

Get inspired by Olivia Munn's stylish airport style.
Olivia Munn makes a strong case for mom jeans as she made her way through LAX wearing a pair of the on-trend denim bottoms with a white t-shirt and open-front tan cardigan.

She accessorized with a classic Gucci double-G belt, retro sunglasses and white slip-on sneakers.

When the weather warms up, I'm eager to shed my skinny jeans and I'm thinking the new loose-fit styles with built-in ventilation (aka the rips) might be exactly what I need. If you're feeling the look, too, read on for my budget-friendly picks starting at just $2.90!

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...
