Shanina Shaik's satin blouse and ankle boots look for less
Shanina Shaik shows off her features in a silky low-cut blouse and denim cut-offs! Her model-off-duty look might not be easy for everyone to pull off, but we can take some style notes for fall nonetheless! For starters, her black 'Spirit' ankle booties by Dear Frances ($550) are in every It-girl's closet (think Kendall and Bella), but we'd gladly rock this similar pair under $35 instead! The block heel makes these comfortable for everyday while still looking tres chic. And if you want to update your average office button-down, consider an oversized satin blouse instead - buttoned up, of course!
