Look for Less: Alexa Chung

Photo credit: Fairchild Archive

We know, we know, we are always talking about Brit actress and fashion icon Alexa Chung, but she just gets it right ALL THE TIME. Here she is in a tweed mini with floral detail from Chanel--Karl Lagerfeld loves her for the same reasons we do. We are loving the fact that she eschewed the typical young actress staple of teetering platform heels, and went instead for black patent flats. They add a touch of nerd-chic to this look that is pure downtown It girl. Which leads us to: black patent flats are a new fall staple, and look fantastic with cuffed trousers, denim cutoffs, even a floor-sweeping maxi-skirt. Get the look for less here:
