Here are a few of Junior Editor's steals from last season: knee-length, charcoal pencil skirt with Lycra for added give, like Calvin Klein for $12.99; blouson-cut floral print rayon tanks à la Catherine Malandrino ($16.99); and fitted sweater coat with fringed butterfly sleeves ($28.99), extravagant and a little bit Ungaro.
