Punk Chic: Jourdan Dunn's Plaid Skirt and Off-the-Shoulder Bodysuit Look for Less

Get Jourdan Dunn's off-the-shoulder bodysuit and plaid skirt look for less.
Model Jourdan Dunn stopped to strike a pose for photographers in a tartan skirt, white off-the-shoulder bodysuit, and lace-up ankle booties while attending Milan Fashion Week back in September.

I absolutely love the attitude of this look that's giving me punk vibes with the lace-up detailing on her Cushnie et Ochs off-the-shoulder bodysuit ($695, net-a-porter.com) and the asymmetric cut of her Jacquemus plaid tartan skirt ($407, farfetch.com).

While Jourdan's top and skirt alone catapult the pricetag of this ensemble over $1,000, we put together her entire look for less under $85 - including a near-identical dupe for her bodysuit from Forever 21 that's under $20!

New at Target.com: Ora, The All-Round Paper Towel

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ora. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ora is an all-round paper towel you can grab with one hand!

Have you ever found yourself desperately trying to rip a paper towel off the roll with one hand, only to fail miserably while dinner burns, you spill your wine, and half the roll of paper towels comes spiraling down into a pile you end up tossing out instead?

I know I have.

And that's why I absolutely had to try Ora, a revolutionary new paper towel that just launched this month exclusively at participating Target stores across Texas and nationwide at Target.com. The team at Ora sent me a sample to test out - and I'm completely hooked!

Ora is a new all-round paper towel you can grab with one hand, available now at Target.com.

Ora’s sleek design and easy one-hand grab provides the ideal solution for holiday entertaining messes, every day household tasks...even family arts & crafts projects.

When cooking, cleaning or entertaining, Ora's conical stacking system makes it easy to grab a sheet of Ora with just one hand - there's no tearing, unraveling or fuss.

Ora's round sheets and lack of a cardboard inner tube make it a more eco-friendly purchase.

One stack of Ora provides twice the number of sheets compared to a traditional paper towel, without taking up excessive space on your countertop.

There are countless uses for Ora paper towels beyond cleaning up spills - you can use a sheet to hold snacks, create a paper snowflake (I used this tutorial), or cover food in the microwave.

My 3-year-old loved how easy and fun Ora was to use! It's a great tool for encouraging young ones to clean up their own messes. Because messes happen A LOT.

Basically, Ora is the ultimate holiday hack for families this year. I guarantee that Ora will steal the spotlight at your next holiday party or family gathering. It's just that cool!

Ora is available for purchase in single, double or triple packs and retails for $2.99 (single), $5.49 (double) and $7.99 (triple).
