The long Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and we're celebrating with fun Ambush Makeovers!
Our glam squad took two women from the plaza to enjoy a morning of hair, makeup and clothing transformations courtesy of TODAY.
Style expert Jill Martin handled the fashion, and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari gave them new 'dos for the summer.
To get the look yourself, read on for Martin's clothing picks.
Angie Kays
Angie Kays made a trip to New York City from Portland, Oregon, with her mom, Mary, to celebrate her cousin's graduation from medical school — and she's leaving the Big Apple with a brand-new look.
Camo Jacket
Caslon Short Utility Jacket, $34 (usually $69), Nordstrom
This stylish camo jacket is a fun way to dress up a simple outfit. And it can easily transition from day to night.
Camo Utility Jacket, $30, Walmart
Another version of a camo utility jacket can be found in Ellen DeGeneres' EV1 collection at Walmart. This one is affordable and made of cotton, so it's comfortable and breathable.
White Skinny Jeans
White Distressed Skinny Jeans, $128+, Spanx
Crisp white jeans are a great summer wardrobe piece. This high-rise pair is stretchy and super comfortable.
Ridley High-Waisted Skinny Jeans, $35, Asos
For a more affordable option, check out these high-waisted white skinny jeans from Asos. The fashion retailer has many different options when it comes to white jeans and offers a wide range of sizes.
White Camisole
Convertible Camisole, $34 (usually $49), White House Black Market
This camisole is simple and chic. It makes the perfect layering piece for under a jacket or sweater, but it also looks nice worn alone.
White Chiffon Camisole, $16, Amazon
With a little lace detail, this white camisole is super cute for layering. You can easily style it tons of different ways all summer long.
Beaded Earrings
Rianne Drop Earrings, $44, BaubleBar
Statement earrings always have a way of taking an outfit to the next level, and these baubles are no exception. They are available in other color options as well, but the white can easily be paired with almost any look.
Statement Beaded Hoop Earrings, $14, Amazon
This more affordable option is very similar. They are also available in more than 20 other color options.
Holly Carmen
Holly Carmen was joined by her kids, Jacob and Jayden (who celebrated his 13th birthday Thursday), for a trip to New York City from Norman, Oklahoma.
Lightweight Sweater
Shimmer Midi Cover-Up Sweater, $55 (originally $79), White House Black Market
Martin picked this casual, cover-up sweater, because it's the type of versatile piece Carmen can wear all summer long.
Lightweight Duster Cardigan, $10-$21, Amazon
With over 600 reviews on Amazon, this similar style is an affordable option. It comes in 17 different colors, including a sheer option for the beach.
Cropped Jeans
Cropped Flare Jeans, $128-132, Nordstrom
These jeans are the figure-flattering staple every woman needs this summer, according to Martin. They're made with an elastic waistband, so they're practically guaranteed to be super comfortable.
High-Waisted Crop Flare Jeans, $27, Walmart
For a similar silhouette with a bit of an edgier vibe, we also like these jeans from Sofia Vergara's collection for Walmart.
Comfortable Wedges
Embossed Leather Wedges, $88 (originally $125), White House Black Market
Martin completed the look with these wedges from White House Black Market. The leather upper looks both luxurious and comfortable. Reviewers also wrote that they look great with jeans.
Platform Slip-On Espadrilles, $27-$36, Amazon
For a less expensive option, these espadrilles with feminine bow details seem like a good pick.
