Look for Less: Jessica Biel

by Ann Whitbeck on July 20, 2012

So on first glance you might look at this outfit and think, cute…nothing special but cute. Well, that is just it…there is something special about this look (actually, 3 things!) and they are major fashion home runs, whether you are a celebrity or not!

First the slam-dunk wow piece, the fringe bag. What makes this bag so unique is the fact that while it is fringe it’s not your standard fringe that you typically see with a soft, slouchy boho style bag.

This fringed bag has structure, unexpected color and it’s paired with an ultra-preppy look that gives the outfit just enough cool girl meets boyfriend-basics to make it work.

Check out Zara for some amazing fringed bags like this shopper that are classic yet oh-so cool!

Next up, the shoes. Her black smoking slippers are a must buy for this summer and beyond.  Wear them on those days when your pedicure needs a little touch up and trust me, they are going to take you right into Fall.  I found this studded pair at Dillard’s for only $60!

And lastly, Miss Biel topped off her look with Cat-Eye sunglasses. I love hers because they aren’t too costume-y but still very stylized. Try these for $40 from TopShop–their subtle frames are perfect and the while feels very fresh for summer!  Forever 21 also has a huge range of Cat-Eye shades for under $5!

Now for the super budget friendly part, the rest of Jessica’s look is made up of basics we all probably have in our closet…boyfriend jeans, white V-neck tee, a simple sweater and a classic trench. Her look is a perfect example of how buying just a few statement pieces can take your outfit from WOW to POW!
