Celeb Style For Less: Beyonce

Photo credit - USA Top Stars

Beyonce is, unsurprisingly, killing it in this outfit. She really knows how to put herself together and can look amazing even in a simple jean-white tee combo. She wore this outfit to Coney Island where, as you can see, fans surrounded her. Even though she's just wearing a white tank, there's no doubt that top's hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars. Keep reading to see how you can rock this look for less!

Top: American Eagle || Bralette: Target || Pants: River Island || Shoes: Dublin || Necklace: Ali Express || Choker: Country Homemade || Bracelet: Bling Jewelry

Beyonce's wearing a simple white shirt, but she adds flair by exposing a mesh bralette underneath. This keeps the "old" trend of wearing a white shirt totally fresh. The tank pictured above can be purchased at American Eagle for $12, and the gorgeous bralette's available at Target for $9.50!  Her pants are on point, and what better place to get them than River Island, a haven for hip-hop fashion! They have these perfectly ripped light wash jeans for only $40 - an amazing deal for pants like these!

Bey's black patent leather booties are simple, just like the rest of her look. Dublin sells similar ones - in faux-leather - for $86. That may seem kind of deep, but for shoes that will never go out of style? Totally worth it.  Finally, Beyonce is rocking the whole over-accessorizing trend with this look. She's layered gold necklaces on top of each other and styled tons of gold arm candy.  Her gold coin necklace looks like a Versace piece. Lucky for you guys, Ali Express has a very similar version for $13! She's also wearing a choker; so her neck & chest are completely covered in gold.  Country Homemade has a fab one for $10.

One last detail to discuss: her BANF snake bracelet! It wraps all the way up her arm. These pieces tend to be super expensive, but Bling Jewelry has a cute one for $37! It only wraps around once, but it's a solid choice regardless.

What do you guys think of Beyonce's outfit? Would you rock any of these pieces? Also, let us know who you want to see on the next Celeb Style For Less!

Friday Florals

Ermergerd, it's Fri-yay!  In honor of the weekend, I showcased a gorg "party" dress for you guys today on SS.  I have it in quotes because it works for day AND night - versatility FTW.  IMO it's a totally fab summer dress, too.  The fab dress is available HERE for $33.  
If you're a fan of cool prints and cut-outs, this piece is a must-have. The back has a triangle cut-out - I'm really sorry, I totally forgot to snap a pic for you guys - which you guys can see here.  FYI, I didn't wear a bra with this dress.  It looks completely fine without it because of the material and print.    I'd say the only con is that the lining's a bit short - I don't really mind though.  It's a really cute dress, and it flatters my body for sure.  I'd say the quality's comparable to Forever 21.
I accessorized with mad bling today because I wanted to go all out.  My fab earrings are c/o Berricle - if you guys missed my spotlight of 'em, clicky HERE.  They really know how to do affordable luxury.  These fab babies seriously look real.  If you're interesting in shoppin' their site, make sure y'all take advantage of their Fourth of July sale.  Use code JULY30 to get an extra 30% off.
