Our weekend motto to slow down and take it easy certainly applies to our wardrobes, too. Borrowing from Emma Watson's effortless travel style, we're putting that philosophy into practice with a figure-flattering, fit-and-flare white dress, like Emma's A.L.C. version, that's brunch- or even cocktail-appropriate with the right accompaniments (read: a great all-occasion investment piece). But for a low-key day, you don't have to add much — just stick to Emma's flirty-gone-tough-girl styling formula and add in ankle boots, your go-to shades, and a hands-free crossbody bag. Simple, right?

Jennifer Lopez gave us the inspiration for a beautifully feminine work ensemble while leaving the 2013 nuvoTV upfronts, when she tucked this Dolce & Gabbana sheer floral tie-neck blouse ($795) into a pair of wide-leg trousers. In true J.Lo fashion, the singer added major pizzazz to her covered-up look via rose-tinted aviator sunglasses, a black patent Jimmy Choo clutch, platform sandals, and a bevy of gold jewels, including Marina B earrings and H.Stern ring. Score Lopez's exact blouse to incorporate into your work wardrobe or shop other pretty floral blouses on ShopStyle. Then to take your floral top from the office to a party, just swap the trousers for leather (pants, shorts, or skirt) for a harder-edged twist.

Looking put together every day is no easy feat, but it's made much simpler with this easy outfit formula. We're taking our classic button-downs and giving them a trend-driven twist with a structured wrap skirt and a pair of block heels. It's not just that it looks good; these pieces are also equipped for comfort. A little wrap skirt will keep you cool (in more ways than one), even when the Summer heat wave strikes, and in case you're not typically the heel-wearing kind, these shoes offer enough support that they just might make you a convert. Of course, it's all about how you add it up — mixing print, a splash or color, or sleek metallics against a staple white shirt or basic black mini — that really makes a complete look click. Soak in the inspiration below, and shop your favorites to channel the same breezy polish that's perfect for day or night.

We can't get enough of Zoe Saldana's always on-point red carpet looks for the Star Trek Into Darkness promotional tour, but we also welcome her casual approach to making the daytime press rounds. En route to an interview at The Grove in LA, the actress supplied us with not one but two inspirational shorts ensembles. The first one was by Emilio Pucci: a turquoise printed silk top and crisp matching shorts, both from the Fall 2013 collection. The other — a dusty-rose lace blouse with white shorts, both by Dolce & Gabbana — was entirely dainty. Zoe completed both styles with the same pair of turquoise peep-toe pumps for that unexpected pop of color. We've pulled together some Saldana-inspired outfits to get you inspired to make shorts a style mainstay. Shop our picks below.
