Louise Roe, the British TV personality, fashion journalist, designer and host of NBC's "Fashion Star," wears many hats, including that of trendsetter. Her look - a high-low mix of designer duds from New York, Los Angeles and the UK - is appealing as well as doable.
Whether she's hosting "Fashion Star," working on her MTV international show "Plain Jane" or out and about shopping, Roe is put together and almost always wearing bright shades. She looked ready for spring when she recently attended the John Varvatos 10th annual Stuart House Benefit, mixing prints and colors for a look that popped.
The baby-blue maxi skirt was just the right amount of sheer to remain in the tasteful zone. With it she wore a geometric print top, leather jacket and snake-print pumps. She accessorized with a cowboy hat and an oversized blue satchel.
For a similar look, try the Side slit chiffon maxi skirt from Express for $39.90, and tuck in the Addison Kent sleeveless top from Farfetch.com for $148. If there's a cool breeze, slip on the AE faded denim jacket from American Eagle for $49.95. Get the Master hatters of Texas Ruidoso 3X wool felt hat from BootBarn.com for $59.99 to hide from the UV rays.
Accessorize with the BCBGeneration Quinn satchel bag from Dillards.com for $88 and the Kelsi Dagger cameo shoe from 6pm.com for $49.99, or for flats, get the Nicole heart flat from Last Call by Neiman Marcus for $79.

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
