Jessica Alba Wearing Striped Shirt

Every errand run is just another opportunity for Jessica Alba to further her status as one of our favorite street-style stars. The latest is surely proof of that — a cool-girl mix that not only balanced easy pieces, like boyfriend denim and ankle boots, but also skillfully played with a bold palette and mixed prints. She defied the predictable "seasonal" dress code with a sunny pop of yellow on her Longchamp bag, and with it, reminded us that a bold bit of color is actually always appropriate. But that was just the finishing touch. It actually started with an unexpected play on patterns: a preppy-feeling striped knit that she countered with a girlie, floral scarf. The contrast was just enough to draw interest without overpowering what, at the end of the day, was just a really accessible and pretty effortlessly cool way to dress for your everyday.
