Elle Fanning Wants This Summer Staple To Stick Around

We'd like to think that, by now, we're past all of that high school drama. The Bieber and Orlando scuffle, and what have you. And, most times, we are. (Ya know, except when it comes to reading about it.) But, there's one teenager who's sucking us back into the fray. We're officially crushing hard on 16-year-old Elle Fanning's style.

Nary does Elle venture out of the house without a standout garment in tow (lest we remind you of these paper-lantern sandals). This week is no different. For a casual lunch at Aroma Cafe in Los Angeles, Fanning took transitional dressing to heart — for her lower half, at least. Teaming a breezy, crochet dress with knee-high boots and burgundy socks, her top and bottom boast summer and autumn vibes, respectively. And, we're really into the insouciance of the mashup. So, we selected five similar frocks to channel Elle's one-step-ahead style — feel free to start unearthing your fall footwear to pair with 'em now.
