There are those of us who look like we just rolled out of bed when we travel, and then there's Kate Bosworth, who looks like she just stepped off the set of Mad Men while spotted at LAX. In her perfectly polished lace pencil skirt, black turtleneck and slingback flats, she's a modern mod muse. And the coral lipstick is simply icing on the cake! If you're ready to up your style game, too, recreate Kate's alluring look for less with our affordable finds...

Plaid is a no-brainer for fall, as Victoria Justice proves in her simple yet stylish plaid shirt and skinny jeans get-up. She gives plaid a contemporary, sporty feel by pairing her blue button-down with all black extras and edgy hi-top sneakers. No fear of looking lumberjack here! I like that this outfit works in different climates, so my SoCal/Florida babes can rock this ensemble, too! Read on for the look for less...

Snapped during Paris Fashion Week, It-girl Hailey Baldwin was all legs and leather in her Topshop mini skirt, leather moto jacket and utility boots. It's effortless yet impossibly cool. Get the look for yourself with her exact skirt (under $100 at Nordstrom), faux leather moto jacket (if you don't already own one, this one from Sears is just $30) and Matisse shoes. A structured satchel always looks polished and finishes the look. Add a long sleeve tee and chunky scarf when temps dip to take this look well into the fall.

Fall is here and ponchos are de rigueur in the fashion world. Bloggers love them because they make a big style statement and photograph well. I love them because it's like wearing a cozy blanket. This is the only time of year when I can put on a layering tee, leggings and boots, toss on a poncho (I bought two at Walmart this year, see pics HERE) and call it a day. Here, I've found a gorgeous poncho by Vince Camuto (which isn't a super pricey brand) for $169 at nordstrom.com. The look for less is just $32.90. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking a link below!

If you missed out on the Express plaid sequin back shirt that everyone was wearing last fall (most notably on fashion blogger McKenna Bleu - see how she styled her shirt HERE), then you're in luck because now you can get the look for less at JCPenney. The sequin back shirt I found is by Arizona and comes in four colors for just $24.99! Do no be confused by my collage (above): The front and back of the shirt is the same color, they just don't show the sequins on all colors in the product details on jcp.com. (Did that make any sense?!) Any at rate, this plaid shirt makes a lot of sense for the stylish girl who wants to stand out from the plaid crowd, and the shining sequin detail on the back does just that. Scoop up your sequin back shirt HERE.
