The Budget Fashionista’s Annual “Being Broke Ain’t Cute” Series features tips and advice to help you improve your personal financial health. For more personal finance information, please visit our Financial Health Series.
For this very special edition of celebrity style reconstructed, we break down the personal style of America’s favorite personal finance advisor, the amazing Suze Orman.
There’s no doubt that Suze Orman’s style comes from, well, Suze Orman and nothing is more stylish than a woman who understands and develops a personal style that comes from within herself (versus some hired stylist). From her love of a good jacket to her stylish and easy to take care of short hair-do, Suze’s style reflects her bright personality and the realities of being a financial advisor to millions, without drowning herself in traditional banking blue. While we want our financial peeps to be fiscally prudent, Suze shows that as financial person, you don’t have to carry that prudence over to your wardrobe.
Here’s how to get Suze Orman’s style
The Suze Orman Jacket Strategy
Suze’s love of jackets is well documented (Saturday Night Live’s Kristen Wiig does a HILARIOUS send up of Suze and her love of a good jacket). Jokes aside, Suze’s strategy of focusing on colorful tops and simple bottoms is great for those who either don’t like to shop or find styling themselves each morning to be one step above getting a root canal.
Here’s How to Apply the Suze Orman Jacket Style Strategy to Your Closet:

So, we’re still a little boggled as to why there was such a fuss over Kirsten Dunst’s so called “new haircut” a few weeks ago. Quite frankly, it looks the same to us! Nevertheless, it’s sure nice to see the blue eyed, blond haired cutie back on the Hollywood scene. Kirsten’s look is simply classic and perfect for the office or those events that require a polished professional. We are gigantic fans of the tie-neck blouse because of it’s versatility and chicness. It’s the kind of top that looks great tucked into a skirt, left out over a pair of jeans, tied in a bow or just hanging loose.

America’s favorite hippie, Vanessa Hudgens, has been turning heads in her floppy hats and oversized tees since she first stepped on the scene with High School Musical. The newly-single actress makes a simple sundress look glamorous and a pair of distressed jeans look chic. While much of the credit for this is owed to her laid-back California-girl vibe, we’ve nailed down a few basic staples to her enviable wardrobe. Read on to learn how you can steal her hobo-chic look.

Looking to update your winter look? Get winter chic like newlywed Nicole Richie, or should we say, Nicole Richie-Madden. What we love about Richie’s look is the mixture of trendy and classic pieces. A wide brim hat is a classic, but pairing it with a skull print scarf makes the look young and fresh. Draped jackets have been a popular trend this year so try a textured style that’s lined with fur to stay warm during the colder months. Black calf boots and aviator shades are great accessory choices and compliment Nicole’s look. A bit of color is perfect for those dreary winter days and the quilted red chain bag definitely pops against the textured draped jacket. This is the kind of look that makes you stand out from the crowd.
