Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Katie Holmes Mom Haircut leads her to Mom Website, Leads her to Fabulous Find.

[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.]

Lately, Katie holmes style has been reminding me of a mixture between my brothers and my mom…circa 1992. Baggie Jeans, a mom haircut – I’m sort of on the fence about it all. And by on the fence, I obviously mean never buying into the trend. Ever.

But, every now and again, I find myself loving a piece of hers, writing it off as “in my dreams,” or “when I win the lottery.” Between her paychecks from Dawson’s Creek syndication and her husband being – um – Tom Cruise, the girl has a budget of Loubitons and lavish meals, whereas I am stuck with Target finds and Ramen Noodles.

That is, until People.com revealed this jacket is only $75.00. Yes, you read that right. SEVENTY FIVE! This little slice of info made my weekly Celebrity Chic on the Cheap more like Celebrity’s Cheap and Chic finds, giving yours truly some extra time to sleep in this Thanksgiving Weekend.

So I bring you this weeks’ Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Katie Holmes’ Mom Haircut leads her to Mom Website, Leads her to Fabulous Find.

Jacket:

First of all, I never thought of New York and Company as a place where CollegeCandy readers would shop — I always left it for the mom haircuts of the world. But thankfully, K Holmes scoured it for us and found us a winning piece. And after looking around the site, there really are some great clothes on there!

Throw this on over jeans and vintage tee, over a black dress for an interview, over your decolletage baring top (yes I just said decolletage) for the weekend. And bonus: it’s on sale for $37.47 right now! Happy Holidays to us!

Jeans:

I’m sure you all have a pair of medium wash jeans, but if you need a great pair to tuck into boots, try these. They are $12.50 (have you ever gotten something so cheap?!) so if they shrink, rip, or stretch 12 sizes, remember: they cost less than your drink.

Black boots:

A fall essential, especially if you live in the snowier regions. Look more pulled together for class AND your socks stay dry? Sign me up.

Black Tote:

Anya Hindmarch for Target = totally affordable handbag that doesn’t look totally afforadable. And also happens to look totally cute.

Black sunglasses:

Any pair will do, but this round style is fresh, new and flattering on everyone.
