In recent years, we’ve witnessed child stars grow into fully-fledged fashionistas—Xyriel Manabat, Andrea Brillantes, and Alexa Ilacad, to name a few. But today, we put the spotlight on Mona Alawi, the *adorable* 17-year-old sister of actress Ivana Alawi. If you follow Mona on Instagram, you would’ve already noticed that this half-Moroccan beauty knows a thing or two about casual dressing. Chic yet laid-back, her OOTDs make the best style pegs for girls who prefer to keep things low-key.
Need proof? Here’s a roundup of eight cute and casual outfits we’re totally copying from Mona:Â
1. No matter your style, a pair of light-washed ripped jeans should always have a place in your closet. Mona wears hers with a bright baby tee and black sunglasses for an effortlessly cool look.Â
2. Who says sandals and socks can’t be worn together? Mona demonstrates that the combo isn’t a faux pas at all, but rather a fashion statement that showcases your personal style.Â
3. Mona’s tip for wearing pastels: Opt for a monochromatic outfit and bare the slightest sliver of skin along your torso. Cute and simple!Â
4. Next time you go for a picnic, take a page from Mona’s book and style a neutral dress with block heels. It’s the ultimate boho chic getup with a little twist of romance.Â
5. A sheer printed tee may overwhelm many at first, but Mona balances out the top with a simple tan skirt. Bonus points for that Louis Vuitton purse! Â
6. Add some spice to an all-white outfit by playing with different textures. For instance, Mona elevates a basic white cami by pairing it with tweed shorts. Â
Â
7. Ă€ la Serena Van Der Woodsen, Mona hits the road sporting a leather jacket and sleek riding boots. This may be a bit much for our country’s weather, but take note for your next trip abroad!Â
8. On extra lazy days, find an oversized knit sweater that doubles as a blanket. Like Mona, dress up the ultra-comfy piece with chunky white sneakers for that kick of streetwear.Â
