Look for Less: Glam/Celeb

Okay ladies, we all know that we feel our finest when we are dressed up and on point from head to toe. It seems as though celebrities are on point the majority of the time that we see them and always look so glammed up and wear the most expensive items. Today we are going to show you a few glamorous looks from celebrities like stars from the Basketball Wives, Beyonce, and Kourtney Kardashian. Then we will tell you how to get similar looks to show you that you don't have to spend a lot of money to look like you did!


Look Number 1 comes from none other than Jennifer, from the show Basketball Wives. Somehow she always looks glammed up and we know she spends a lot on her clothing and shoes, but we're going to tell you how to get a look similar to hers for less.

     As seen to the left, Jenn has on a blue, sort of off-the-shoulder dress with ruching. She kept is simple for accessories a pair of long, gold earrings, a bangle, and clutch. For shoes, she just did a pair of taupe pumps. She kept it on the simple, sleek side with her hair as well.
     To get a similar look to Jenn's start out with this Red Ruched Strapless Dress and pair it with these something similar to these Smoke Leopard Heels. As far as accessories, keep it simple like Jenn did and try a pair of these Gold Tiered Diamond Earrings and just this Gold and Black Bangle Set . For hair keep it sleek and simple and do something like she did. 
     When you keep your hair simple, try to do a smokey eye with this outfit and somewhat of a nude-lip, especially since the dress is red. This will give it somewhat of an expensive look because you're keeping it sleek which makes one instantly think of glamour.
     You don't want to overshadow your outfit or cheapen it by doing too much with your hair and/or makeup. So like we suggest, keep it simple. This look can be great for a dinner date, a night out on the town with the girls, and/or a special occasion event.

  
     Look number 2 of course, comes from Beyonce, the queen of fabulousness! As seen to the right, Bey is seen wearing a white, puff shoulder blazer, with a plain white tee, and jeggings (jean like leggings). For shoes, she put on some sequined, silver peep toe heels. As far as accessories, she just did a pair of large silver hoops and pulled her hair back in a ponytail. The outfit may not sound glamorous, but Beyonce definitely made it glamorous and look expensive which we know it is. (Only Bey! Lol)
     To get a look similar to Beyonce's start out with a plain tee, like this Orange Basic Heathered V-Neck Tee since it's a summertime color. For a blazer, try this White Linen Blend Jacket and for bottoms you can do a pair of dark denim jeans like this pair of Fab Skinny Black Jeans . For shoes, stand out amongst the rest with a pair of printed shoes like these Cheetah Print Oxfords to do something different besides heels.
     As far as accessories, keep it simple with a pair of hoops like these --->> Textured Hoop Earrings. For your hair you can keep it simple like Bey did and do a sleek ponytail or wear it down with a few curls in it, since the outfit is rather simple. Don't over-do it with your makeup, try eyeliner and mascara and do a bold lip color in a that looks best for your skin tone.



     Last but not least, look 3 comes from blog favorite Kourtney Kardashian! We can honestly say, she is amongst few celebrities with great fashion sense that makes you want every outfit she has on. Kourtney is seen to the left wearing grey and taupe printed shorts, a cream puff-sleeve blouse tucked in, and taupe sandal wedges. For accessories, she did a rather chunky necklace but wore simple studs or none at all and did a simple gold bangle. The sunglasses made the outfit look more "exclusive".
     To get a similar glamorous shorts look, start with this pair of Light Olive Linen Blend Shorts. Since the bottoms aren't printed, you could do something similar to this Brown/Black Tribal Printed Tank. For accessories, try the same gold hoops in Beyonce's tip above a simple gold bangle like so ----> Wild Safari Bangle. As far as shoes, try this pair of Black Multi-Strap High Heel Sandals to tie the look together.
     If you did want to do a chunky necklace, try this Ombre Racerback Tank and pair it with this Coral/Gold Faceted Collar Necklace. If want to do earrings keep it simple pair of studs and do a pair of cream pumps/heels like so ---> Khaki/Beige Wedges!
     Her hairstyle is a great summertime hairstyle and it look like she kept her make-up simple as well. Great daytime look that can be worn for a party at night as well!

    Your demeanor can also determine if you look as if everything you own is expensive. Make sure you wear your hair simple if you're make-up and outfit are rather busy or vice-versa, but don't over-do it. We hope that we gave you some helpful insight on how to look glamorous with spending a lot of money. So now you can go out and buy some items and rock them confidently and glamorously!
