Rachel Bilson's Wool Coat, Striped Midi Dress, and Combat Boots Look for Less

Rachel Bilson is stylish in an overcoat and combat boots!
Rachel Bilson steps out in layered attire that seals the deal on long-line wool coats being the staple of the season. Hers is beautifully draped over a relaxed pinstripe dress, opaque black tights, and lace up combat boots. The mix of textures breaks up the dark color palette and makes this look wearable for work or play. A noticeable piece is her worn leather bag, and this similar find has the same broken-in appeal that works well with any outfit!

Ava Phillippe's Satin Leopard Midi Skirt, Message Tee, and Adidas Sneakers Look for Less

Ava Phillippe switches up her casual look with a satin leopard midi skirt!
Up to no good! Ava Phillipe sends a sassy message with her bright green "trouble" tee that we love. She pairs the casual top with a lightweight satin leopard print midi skirt for a pretty contrast. Throwing on a dressier option in lieu of your usual denim can make a look fresh & fun. Leopard print is considered a neutral these days due to its popularity and versatility, and Ava shows us a perfect example of that. Her classic white Adidas sneakers are a shoe closet staple and we have the exact match!
