Look for Less: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

by Ann Whitbeck on April 9, 2012

Looking for an alternative for your basic jeans and tee with ballet flats ensemble? Well, look no further, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has given us all a little lesson in cool.

I love this outfit because, well, it is not your basic jeans and tee but it is equally as comfortable and it nails so many trends in a not-too-trendy way. Make sense? Let’s discuss…

She has dressed down black leather pants (an item usually saved for girls night out!) and made them a totally wearable jeans alternative. Part of what makes these leather pants work is the fit. The looser the fit the less “big night on the town” they look.

You could also opt for a “coated” jean for a more budget friendly version of a leather pant…and remember, keep the fit loose, almost like a BF jean so I would suggest going up a size.

Her silver cap toe shoes are MAJOR! They give the outfit a fun, refined bad-girl edge. And if you don’t want to wear pumps, like these from ASOS, during the day, check out these cap-toe ballet flats I found from Nordstrom. They’re casual and trendy but tasteful and functional.

And for the final essential piece to carry off this look, a blue (the color for Spring!) handbag. This one from Big Buddah has the same carry-all luxe feel without the $5,000+ price tag!

Pair these key items with your basic grey tee and a black blazer to give your outfit a little more of a Rosie-remix!

Love the look of this bag. You’re right, $5000 is pricey. Great look for less.

Those wedges in the top picture are so great, the scream Summer! Thanks for sharing that website too – it may be my new addiction too!
