Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Leather, Leggings and Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton– Optional)

[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

So you’re gearing up to go home for Thankgiving. I get it – no one likes to travel in jeans. We all know that it is just flat out uncomfortable. But it seems that chicks nationwide think that just because you aren’t wearing jeans, you have full permission to wear the sloppiest, messiest, not-a-stich of pulled togetherness, look for the airport. I would venture to say that airport security has probably seen some of the WORST looking ‘fits of all time.

I’m here to tell you that just because you aren’t looking your BEST doesn’t mean everyone needs to see you at your WORST. I know I’ve gone through the airport numerous times looking like I just spent the night bonding with the toilet bowl, but it is possible to be comfortable and cute. \

Remember, it is Thanksgiving after all, which means most people are headed home, and you’ll want to be thankful that you look and feel good when you run into your 7th grade crush in the airport. So stick with me… and these leading celebs who have created the new unofficial airport uniform

Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Leather, Leggings and Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton Optional).

Black Leggings:

These ones have buttons on the bottom, which will be great for Wednesday night at the bar with pumps or booties. But for now, tuck those bad boys into your boots.

Black Jacket

I’ve featured this leather one before — any leather (or faux leather) bomber will work. If you aren’t into leather (real or fake) this cute black jacket is also a great option.

Or, you can add a pop of color:

Steven Madden Boots

In leather or patent leather – you will look super hot, and this boot is easy to slip on and off at the airport, too.

Retro Black Shades

For when you don’t want to be recognized by your 7th grade crush when you see he is at the airport with his 7th grade girlfriend- who is now his not-so-7th grade fiance…

Longsleeve Burnout Top

Comfy without being boxy, and low-cut enough to give you a little sex appeal.

Sweater/Scarf/Wrap

Functional and fashionable: wear it in the airport and use it as a blanket on the plane.

Big Tote

Throw your life (books to prep for finals and magazines to avoid prepping for finals) in it, throw it over your shoulder and gooo.

Rolling Suitcase

LOVE this bag.

Oh, and leave the cigarettes at home; that is definitely not chic.
