Get the Look for Less: Jessica Alba's Button Jumpsuit and Cross-Strap Sandals

Jessica Alba Check Button Jumpsuit Look for Less
Summer favorites are holding on strong! Jessica looks classic-chic in this check jumpsuit by Sea NY and block heel sandals from by FAR in a matching neutral hue. The longer sleeves make it a great transitional piece for fall, especially with a denim jacket! We're big fans of the pop of blue from this crossbody bag, and this affordable one from Anthropologie converts into an envelope clutch as well.



Steal Her Style: Shanina Shaik's Satin Blouse and Dear Frances Boots

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!

Naomi Watts Blazer, Green Crossbody Look for Less
Naomi Watts does a perfect outfit for late summer with a knee-length skirt and a basic white tee with block heel sandals. But it's time to start adding on the layers! Contrast buttons make this blazer stand out from the crowd, and this Mango blazer is $60 on sale down from $120! When you go neutral with your outfit, a bag is the perfect way to add a pop of color like Naomi did here with a green crossbody. She opted for ladylike accessories too, with a dainty necklace and pear drop earrings.
