Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: I Have an Alter Ego Too. I Call Her…Beyonce.

[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.]

I wish I was a Knowles. The gene pool for that family is just not fair. Gorgeous, talented, smart, successful AND an alter ego to boot?! Some people just have all the luck.

While I know being related to the Knowles is not possible and becoming Besties is not-so-likely (although B, I am a fabulous best friend, you know, in case you need one). I’m left with two ways to tap into my inner bootylicsiousness:

1) Dancing around- jelly and all – pretending that I too can be Sasha Fierce

2) Dressing like the fab Beyonce.

So While I won’t be sharing my best Beyonce moves (that magic is bestowed upon my mirrors and microphones er…hairbrushes only) I will share my Beyonce budget finds!

Here is this week’s Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: I Have an Alter Ego Too… I Call Her… Beyonce.

Black Dress

A staple in every wardrobe, and a must-have for all girls, especially those with curves. This one serves double duty as its appropriate enough for a family dinner yet fun enough to wear out.

Black belt

“If you’ve got it flaunt it- boy I know you want it…” says my best friend Lady Beyonce in her hit song “Check On It.” This belt with help you do just that by cinching you in at your smallest part and showing off that derriere. You bootylicious thang, you.

Layering Necklaces

If you don’t like my recommendations on this, it doesn’t matter! Layer up with whatever necklaces you want: pearls, chains, the choices are endless.

Patent Bag

Big enough to hold all your crap, small enough to still be an evening back. Perfection.

Shoes

While these aren’t quite like Beyonce’s, I fell for their metallic/grey color.

Leather Cutout Gloves

To keep the boys guessing if there is or if there isn’t a ring on it…

So go on, Single Ladies (and taken ladies, too), ‘Put your hands up’ in this outfit and rock out with your best Beyonce moves. I won’t judge. Because well, I believe there is a small part in all of us who wants to be Beyonce too. Even if it’s just in front of our mirrors.
