A feminine skirt gains instant street cred when paired with an oversized jumper and color-blocked low-tops. Do you think it would have the same effect if we started toting plastic take-out bags around town to channel this leather one by Anya Hindmarch? We don't think so either.

We can't help but have serious vacation envy looking at this snap. Putting the epic backdrop aside for a minute, this flirty floral dress and bright bag are just what we need to get through the rest of the summer work grind.

Floral bike shorts? Don't knock it 'til you try it! Taking cues from the super stylish Natalie Joos, we can't wait to pair printed spandex under a muted mini. Add a matching clutch and bold heels for next-level coolness.

Leave it to Teen Vogue fashion director, Marina Larroude, to spot the best in-office style! Our EIC's assistant, Alexandra Thurmond's kaftan is from Saudia Arabia (jealous!), but we're hoping to find our own at a local flea.

Leave it to Leandra Medine to find the perfect equilibrium of women's and men's fashions. An oversized Dior blazer in a soft pink hue is the perfect mate for reflective shades and a colorful-but-structured bag.

A feminine slip dress is instantly cool when paired with an oversized, printed denim jacket, strappy sandals, and a kitschy clutch. Honestly, can we just wear this every day?

Separately, each component of this look can easily stand alone, but we love them even more together. On our wish-list: an animal print bag, frayed denim dress, and unique biker blazer.

This pic has us wanting to lay in bed all day for girl talk with our bestie. If we have to go out, however, you'll find us mimicking these looks in a suspender-skirt combo and socks with chunky heels.

Stripes on stripes on stripes! We'll gladly risk the whole "horizontal stripes are unflattering" thing if we can achieve this look from Thakoon's resort '15 collection. Those embellished platforms have our inner 90's child itching to get out!

A blue-hued boxy T-shirt and mini-skirt are effortlessly offset by lilac hair. BRB, heading to the salon to change up our own hair game.

Overalls and sneakers may sound childish, but this all-white look is seriously chic. Trust us, you'll want to be wearing this uniform for the rest of summer and straight through Labor Day—we don't care about that silly "rule" and neither should you!
