Rihanna has single-handedly changed the game when it comes to style.  Her hair is always fly and her clothes are on point about 98% of the time.  My friend shared a pic of Rihanna with me and we both agreed we loved her in the outfit featured below.  My friend said she would try and recreate it.  I took a stab at it myself since I figured I had the elements in my closet.

Of course I recreated the look on a “budgetfab” budget!  The skirt I got from H&M and was a part of the buy one get one free sale toward the end of the fall season.  At $20 it was steal and I bought another item for $20 bucks,  so in essence I only paid $10 for it. The shirt is an old button down from the back of father’s closet.  He never noticed it was missing.  Thanks Pops!  The black pumps I got from Payless for about $12.00 and the clutch is from Filene’s basement for $20.  So that brings the grand total to, drum roll please…$42!!!!  Yep, you can look like one of the flyest stars in game for only 42 bucks!  Can we say budgetfab!?

OK ladies, now it’s your turn.  Open up those magazines, find a look you love and make it your own.  If you can help it, do it with pieces you already have in your closet.  You can come up with a fresh look and spend $0!  You up for the challenge?
