Ashlee Simpson is everywhere at the moment, and while in the past her fashion sense has been one hot mess (from grungy emo rock chick to big sis Jessica clone), lately she seems to be pulling it together in a big way (although we’re still not convinced she deserves a fashion line). This look is trendy (ruffles, black and white, t-strap pumps) without being over-done. Here’s how to get it on a budget:

~ Ruffled Satin Dress, $32.80, Forever21, and A plus-size version, at Torrid.com, $58

~ Platform T-Strap Pump, $24.95, Carabella

~ Xhilaration 3-piece Bangle Set, $10.99, Target
