Fall Florals: Jessica Simpson's Open Shoulder Top and Black Flare Look for Less

Jessica Simpson Look for Less
Just because the leaves are falling, doesn't mean that florals aren't an option for autumn. Jessica Simpson showed her love for the print with this botanical blazoned cold shoulder top, black flare jeans, suede platform heels and a leather tote. She accessorized with bohemian chic oval hoop earrings and oversized round sunglasses. I'm loving the overall '70s vibe and her pants are a definite closet staple for the season. Her original top is by Preen by Thornton Bregazzi ($805) but in this recreation I've found a look-a-like top for just $19.90 from Forever 21! Read on to grab this top and shop my finds to get Jessica's look for less.

Cozy Chic: Chrissy Teigen's Sweater Dress and Over-The-Knee Boot Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen Look for Less
One of the top trends right now is tie-back over-the-knee boots, especially in suede and neutral tones. Chrissy Teigen shows us exactly how to effortlessly style them with a cozy knit sweater dress and a matching colorblocked wallet or clutch. The simplicity of this look is mirrored with her minimalist makeup — focusing on a bold brow and dusty pink lip — and messy ponytail. Each shade belongs to the same nude scheme, but the colors are all slightly different, making this look anything but monochrome. Shop my picks for under $100, including lipstick and a brow kit from e.l.f. cosmetics to give you the perfect model off-duty look!
