Christine channels Stella

I would describe my friend Christine's style as "minimalist bohemian chic meet neurotic sporty prep." I use the term "neurotic" loosely - in an endearing, Diane Keaton in tennis whites a la Annie Hall sort of way. This neutralized look from the SS10 Stella McCartney collection provided the inspiration:

For Christine's style, stick with earth tones and choose comfort over eccentricity. Include one or two strong pieces that make a subtle statement, like a bold print or a pocketed skirt. Another idea is to incorporate a signature accessory to compliment most of your looks: a bright scarf, your "lucky" ring, or your favorite platform boots that seem to miraculously fit the hemline of every pair of jeans you own. Shop frugally but splurge on items you just can't live without. Every piece in the set below is less than $50, excluding the extremely necessary Betsey Johnson Betsey Frill Satchel (around $200).
