The important thing is that it’s only $14 and it’s hip and trendy and everyone will think you got it at a really fancy store.

Prim and proper ladylike fashion has had a surge in popularity recently, and I’m totally on board with it. I love embracing my girly side with a pretty dress and heels from time to time. Plus wearing details like lace, pearls, ruffles and bows just makes you look so sophisticated and ladylike. Most of all, though, what I like about this style is that it’s all about leaving a little something to the imagination — in other words, classy over trashy.

And you don’t have to spend a lot to look sophisticated and ladylike — here are a few ladylike pieces for just $20 or less each!

One cold-weather staple every girl should have in her closet is a sweater dress (at least one). They’re practical, because they keep you warm when the weather’s not, and they’re super comfortable! Plus, they’re easy! Sweater dresses the perfect go-to piece for a day when you’re too lazy to try to put together an outfit — you can just throw one on with a pair of tights, leggings and your favorite shoes (heels, flats, boots and wedges all look great with them), and you’re done! And what’s even better is they don’t have to be expensive — here are some great options for under $20 a piece! For prices that low, I’ll definitely be stocking up.

Could Beyonce be any more perfect? I’ve been obsessed with her for over a decade, so my answer would obviously be “no.” She has evolved so much as a singer, performer, and fashionista. She is, in my humble opinion, one of the most consistently best-dressed celebrities. She has a vibrant style that embodies sophistication, glamour and sexiness. She’s not afraid of color and is not afraid to experiment with various colors and silhouettes while still choosing pieces that flatter her. And she has joined the ranks of celebs like Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani and Victoria Beckham in that being pregnant has not put a dent in her style at all, and in fact makes being pregnant look easy.

red blazer - Charlotte Russe, $36.99//white button down – Target, $19.99//jeans - Charlotte Russe, $29.99//boots – DSW, $39.94//leopard scarf - Asos, $23.36//black tote - Aldo, $50

Red is a very popular color this season. Olivia Wilde was rocking one a few weeks ago in a very feminine, delicate way, while Bey makes hers a little more bold and fierce. Paired with a simple white button down and jeans, the rest of the outfit serves to neutralize the vibrancy of the red blazer, while still being chic and comfortable. A leopard print scarf (animal print is still in) adds another layer of visual interest without being underwhelming. Brown lace-up booties add a utilitarian edge while still being fashionable. A simple black tote finishes the outfit off. This is a great way to dress down while still being put-together and on-trend.

As the weather starts to cool down around this time each year, I can’t wait to start pulling all my cold-weather clothes to the front of my closet. I’ve already revealed my obsession with cable knits, and another perennial fall favorite is corduroy. Corduroy is classic fabric that never really goes out of style, and I love its versatility. Corduroy pants are a great substitute for jeans during the cooler months, and I love it on jackets and accessories. The best part about corduroy is that it’s affordable — check out these pieces, all of which are under $20!
