I just recently came across this sighting of Ashlee Simpson lunching with her bandmates at Cafe Med from early March, and I decided to post it now because of how into Ash's outfit I am. Down to every detail, I think she got it just right with this look. Starting with her Chanel pearls and to-die-for blue YSL heels, Ashlee then paired a striped tank (check out Signorelli's black and white Tank with Gold Logo in Pearl Stripe) with cropped black skinnies (like James Jeans' Alex Skinny Zip Crop Jean in Black) and a pair of black Wayfies. Sportin' a black cardigan with the sleeves rolled up just enough to reveal her new tat, Ash also accessorized with an oversized black patent leather bag (similar to Aaneta's Olivia Bag in Patent Black) and a gold necklace (I think Jessica Elliot's Birds, Heart, Lock Tattoo Pendant in Vermeil would get Ashlee's stamp of approval, being tattoo-inspired and all). With all of the superstar blockbuster albums set to be released in the upcoming weeks/months (Madonna's, Mariah Carey's, etc.), it seems pretty gutsy that Simpson would release her new album on the same day as Mariah Carey. Talk about major competition! Industry insiders say, "Ashlee needs to hit a home run with this album. She really had great success with her early work, but ever since the lip synching on 'Saturday Night Live,' she's had something to prove. Her career literally depends on this album being successful." Geez, talk about no pressure or anything!
