Look for Less: Jessica Alba's Printed Pants

Recently, Jessica Alba has been having a love affair with printed pants. And we can get enough of it! Our styling clients have also been eager to adopt this bold fashion statement. As well they should! It is a fun and feminine way to refresh your Spring wardrobe with minimal investment. Sure, you could spend hundreds of dollars on designer pants, but why do that when there are more affordable options available pretty much wherever you look! 

The key to this look is to keep it cropped! All of Jessica's looks hit at or above the ankle. The shape can be skinny or straight legged. These pants come in a variety of fabrics from denim to khaki and even silk. We do NOT recommend the legging variety. They material is too thin are rarely flattering. 

As you can see, heels pair perfectly with the cropped length of the pant. However, flats can be just as nice.  Think Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. Because the print is bold, let it be the focus of the outfit and pair it with solid tops. I love how Jessica pairs leather pieces to add a bit of edge to the feminine florals. For a more casual look, a basic tank or tee will do, but don't forget to accessorize!

Look for Less: Miranda Kerr

While promoting the new line of Victoria's Secret bras, Miranda Kerr wore a bright yellow one shoulder dress. She paired it with blue peep toe heels and minimal jewelry. The finishing touch is her bold red lipstick.

If you are looking to emulate this sunny look this Spring and Summer, we have the look for you available at Tannya Bernadette Consignment Boutique. Our yellow one shoulder dress is simply beautiful with a chic bow detail on the shoulder. The contrasting blue suede heels are the perfect pop, and the lack of ankle strap will give your legs an even longer line - making it a better fit for even the shortest of ladies. A simple pair of earrings and a delicate bracelet will complete this look with ease. This look is perfect for a wedding, garden party, or fancy brunch.

Look For Less: Britney Spears

Top (Bodysuit) - Chiara £ 12.95, Skirt - JCPenney, Liz Claiborne $25, Belt - Make Me Chic  $8, Earrings - Forever 21 $4.80, Necklace - Nordstrom Dogeared $66

Lucky Magazine is getting a lot of attention for this cover photo of Britney Spears. But beyond the controversy, there is a common view about one thing - that is a cute outfit on the pop-princess. We re-created the look for you using affordable pieces found online or in a store near you.

The sheer polka-dot top is flirty without revealing too much. By adding a longer pencil skirt in the same fun red, this outfit can transition holiday party to work event with the addition of a blazer or cardigan. The pink bow belt is trendy and could easily be swapped out for a basic black or metallic belt. The jewelry is kept simple and understated.
