Steal Jamie Chung's Summer Style in Just 5 Looks

by Mary Avant

Though it’s only officially the second week of summer, chances are many of you have already done the lion’s share of your shopping for the season (and have even begun looking forward to some of the amazing lines — The Limited’s Scandal -inspired collection included — coming your way this fall). But if you’ve yet to get your wardrobe in tip-top summer shape or are just looking for yet another reason to add to your ever-growing lineup of seasonal outfits, I have some good news for you: You’re about to add five must-wear-now ensembles to your summer collection.

And it’s all thanks to one rising style star in particular, Jamie Chung. The gorgeous (and soon-to-be-married) actress and fashion blogger — who somehow launched herself to fame after appearing on The Real World: San Diego in 2004 — has been hitting summer soiree after summer soiree wearing a string of adorably on-season ensembles that you’ll want to copy, like, yesterday.

So if you’re ready to spruce up your seasonal wardrobe in a snap, check out five of Chung’s most recent looks to find out how you can recreate these dainty dresses, colorful ensembles, and polished pieces all on your own.
