Do You Ever Get Style Crushes On Innocent Passerby's?

As much as I love to read, it's rare that I have a book in my bag that's captivating enough to distract me from checking everyone out on the subway. In fact, I've sort of mastered the glazed over "I'm staring at you, but it looks like I'm just spacing out" look. Tricky, right? The other day, I spotted a girl who looked perfect in a very real, attainable way as I was getting out at my stop and I'm pretty eager to copy her entire outfit. She had a totally normal body—I live in a neighborhood that's primarily inhabited by models, which means I see lots of great things on the street, just things that wouldn't necessarily look so great on me!—but the pieces had all the right, flattering proportions.

The main item was a tribal-patterned skirt, much like this ikat-print version from Forever 21 ($10.50!!!). When a skirt is full, it necessarily makes your legs look thinner by comparison—and this particular one hit her right at the knee (this is generally a flattering length, but if you hate your knees, feel feel to cover them, too). Next, she had tucked in a slightly-slouchy chambray button-down that looked like it had been washed a hundred times—I think this version from the boys uniform section at Old Navy might work if the sleeves were cuffed ($14.50). I also love this option from Martin + Osa (it's for guys, so select the size accordingly), it's just a bit more expensive ($64.50). And finally, she finished the look with some big necklaces, a bit like this Egyptian-esque piece ($14.80).

On the hunt for more statement jewelry- here are beautiful big necklaces we love all under $50.
