Leave it to these stylish pedestrians to take recessionista to a whole new level. To brave these tough times elegantly, we'll be the first to tell you there's no need to break the bank. Instead, do like these ladies: Rent your favorite classic, decide which star you are, then plot a new look inspired by each siren's signature. We love how each version comes alive with simple pieces punctuated by vintage accents. Chances are you'll have the makings in your very own closet, and, if not, the nearest thrift store is probably just a few blocks away!
