Ways to live like a celeb for less – There’s a reason we follow the rich and famous on Instagram: playing voyeur to their luxe lives is addictive. The cars, the jewelry, the clothes, the vacations, the homes (plural!), the champagne, the cash — it’s food for our not-so-extravagantly-rich souls.

The problem comes when we start comparing ourselves to these celebs. Suddenly, that sedan we worked so hard to pay for seems ultra lame. If you have dreams of luxuriating in bathtubs full of Benjamins but your budget is a little more focused on Washingtons, don’t fret: we’ve got ten ways to make your lifestyle a little more celeb-worthy without emptying your wallet.
10. WARDROBE: Invest in staples and go cheap on trends
Let’s face it: a cheap suit looks cheap. But you don’t need 10 expensive suits. You only need one. Invest in one phenomenal dark suit with classic lines, and get it tailored. You’ll look like a million bucks even if you wear it with an inexpensive shirt and tie.
For the ladies, the same goes for your wardrobe staples: shell out for a high quality little black dress that fits you perfectly. Pick one that is modest enough for work (especially when paired with a sweater or jacket) but can be jazzed up for a night out. And, yes, get it tailored.
Both men and women should own a couple pairs of high quality, flattering jeans and go-to, versatile tops in neutral shades and timeless cuts.
As for the trends? Go cheap. You don’t want to be stuck with a $300 peplum dress when nobody’s wearing peplum any more. Same goes for costume jewelry and any other “statement” pieces that you can only get away with wearing a few times since they’re so memorable.
By purchasing trendy items on the cheap, you can keep up with the Joneses (er, the Kardashians) and ditch those items as soon as they’ve had their moment, all while saving up bucks for the next trend.
