Clip some on here, wax some off there

Rihanna

I love bangs, but I'm not brave enough to cut my hair. I'm like Sampson and can't even pronounce the words "hair cut". "Trim" or "A little bit of layering" are all I can manage to get out when my hairdresser is standing there with her shears in hand. I'd rather wear Katie's pegged jeans or drink a shot of Tom's barley juice out of a shot glass with no chaser than to cut my hair. So, for me, fake bangs are as ambitious as I can get. Damn if they aren't sexy too, eh?

Aren't women funny? Pluck, tweeze, wax and yank hairs on one part of the body just to tape, clip, glue, or paste hair onto another part.

Halle is my homegirl

There are a few celebrities that can do no wrong with fashion in my eyes. Halle is one of them. She's elegant and yet stylish and youthful. Not to mention, have you seen this woman's post baby bod?

Since I can't buy Halle's bosoms and butt, I'll settle for trying to mimic her style. Here's an easy one to reproduce, and inexpensively, for those of us who make a few pennies less than Halle.

Layering brown and white tank tops from Victoria's Secret is a frugal and fashionable way to go. I bought these two pretties for $1.75 on eBay this morning. Don't be jealous of my frugal find, go get your eBay search on, Chicas...

I wanted to find a nice layered necklace, similar to the one Halle is wearing. I always search Etsy.com for jewelry first, because handmade is delicious. It wasn't made in a sweat shop in Taiwan by 3 year olds, so I can feel good about not wearing human sweat around my neck. If you buy on Etsy, you can feel good about contributing to a college, diaper, or purse addiction fund.

Here's a gorgeous layering necklace made by toolisjewelry for only $24. You can wear it long, or adjust it to layers. The possibilities are endless with this beautiful necklace, you know you'll wear it with everything.

The shirred pocket shorts are too cute, and inexpensive ($19.99) to boot. And if you wear baby vomit or toddler boogers like I do, fear not: you can bleach these bad boys. The flats ($17.99) and shorts are from GoJane.com-- one of my favorite frugal stores. GoJane is like the poor woman's Versace.
