If you haven’t ventured over to Frugal-Fashionista… this blog is a must read for ballers-on-a-budget. She deconstructs celeb styles daily with affordable pieces from sites like Tar~get, Old Navy, Wet Seal, and Fashion Flairs. It’s interesting to see how the rise of the celebrity has revolutionized the fashion scene. 10 years ago we used to look to the rather boring and characterless supermodels of the era and perhaps a handful of public icons like Princess Diana or Jackie O. Today, it’s celebrities who rule as the fashion icons like Sienna Miller and Jessica Alba. It makes perfect sense. As societal creatures we look to the people around us for acknowledgement, reasurrance, and acceptance. This goes for fashion too. That’s why we tend to be influenced by other’s people style and fashion sensibilities around us — and often packs of girls tend to dress/look alike. Celebrities are just another source of this extended community. The reason why Frugal Fashionista’s blog works so well is that is enables girls to emulate the style of celebrities on a budget. Way to go Frugal Fashionista!
