MJ your Way

As we all know, Micheal Jackson tragically passed away on June 25, 2009. Why not pay your respects to the King of Pop with more than just your facebook status? Thats right, designers have been channeling MJ in their runway shows and if you're up to the challenge fellow fashionistas you can do it too. Heres how to get the look for less.

I dare your parents to say they wouldn't have killed for Micheal's famous red leather jacket in the Thriller video. Can you blame them? Thrill your friends in this red "Satin Sheen" jacket featuring a shrunken fit-forever 21 $22.80

Was Billie Jean obsessed with Micheal or those fabulous patent leather wingtips he shined up in the video? Light up your own sidewalk in these babies-white socks are optional ;) "Candela NYC Spectator Oxford" $198 from Urban Outfitters

(yes people they ARE womens shoes)

For a more feminine twist on the classic Spectator style try these peep toe pumps from Charlotte Russe-I find the cutouts more original than simply adding a heel to the style above. "Spectator Platforms" $29.99

Be Bad in this Leather Jacket. Exposed Zippers give it such an 80's vibe. And for $29.99??? Ch'mon ;)

Faux Leather Jacket: JCPenny

Are you feeling bad, bad, really REALLY bad??? Try a metallic:

Metallic faux Leather Jacket: Forever 21 ($37.80)


We all know that MJ made the military jacket his own. Since denim jackets are back in, I love the military details on this one from Balmain.

Unfortunately the price tag on the stye above is too hefty for me-If you want the same faded fit go with this one from Old Navy for $29.50

*tip rock a fitted jean jacket with some black skinny jeans or dress down a black pencil skirt-the color contrast is eye catching and looks more put together than denim on denim. Feeling really bold? Try pairing the outerwear featured in this entry with leggings in a vibrant color or wild print. ;)

And if you want the military detailing you can pick up this vest from GO! International at Target for the designer details without the diva cost.

Or try this twill Military jacket Old Navy ($39.50)-Perfect for fall and also available in Black-both will rock your world paired with skinny jeans and heels in an eye-catching color. just make sure it fits close to the body.

*Tip-Structured Jackets are great for EVERY body type ;)



*Tip-Thrift shops like Goodwill and Rag-o-Rama or even your parents closets are your friend! My dad gave me his old military blazer and I can't wait to incorporate it into my wardrobe this fall!

Don't forget to finish jacking Jacko's style with a fedora! My jaw dropped when i saw this leopard print one from Rainbow-an absolute steal at $9.99! Walk into any room and EVERYONE will know they've been struck by a smooooooth criminal ;)
