With spikes and all

ESC: Olivia Culpo, Double TappedInstagram

Having a sense of personal style is an art, but it's one that Olivia Culpo seems to have down pat.

Just take this summer-perfect outfit she posted to Instagram. Having a very specific wardrobe of quality basics will make your life exponentially easier in the morning. We mean: countless denim bottoms (like her Levi's 501 Cutoff Shorts), white T-shirts and basic jersey knit dresses that go with everything.

Alone, though, basics are boring. To think like a fashion girl, add in some eye-catching pieces to personalize your look. A statement jacket (like this Alice + Olivia embroidered number) or even a belted-waist coat will instantly elevate your style. A structured handbag that says "grown-up-but-cool" won't hurt your look either.

How to complete this outfit (or any outfit, really) right? Olivia's studded leather shoes. Yes, the Gucci Kendall Studded Leather Sandals might cost an arm and a leg (or a mere $2,000), but with intricate details like glass pearls and brass studs, they'll bring any look together.
