Ashlee Simpson was spotted kicking around town with a buddy on March 16, still rockin' her fiery locks (further accentuated with her bright red Wayfarers). In a basic, all black look, Ashlee started with a simple black top (like Hope & Glorie's Short Sleeve Sweater Top in Black) and paired with cropped skinny black jeans (similar to James Jeans' Alex Skinny Zip Crop Jean in Black). From there, Ash accessorized with the aforementioned shades, a patent leather bag (check out Aaneta's larger Olivia Bag in Black Patent) and a strand of Chanel pearls that I don't think really work for Ashlee's look- agree? For all the Ashlee fans out there, it seems that her new album, "Bittersweet World", is set for release on April 22. The album, which features collaborations with Timbaland and the Neptunes' Chad Hugo, is heavy on 80's influences, Simpson is the first to point out. She says, "I almost wish I lived my 20s in the 80's. A lot of the record is a bit cheeky. Sometimes I'm writing about something serious, but it was fun for me to kind of goof around as well." So, will you be picking up a copy, or will you let this one sit on the shelves?
