Don't Hurt Yourself

Don't Hurt Yourself by Beyoncé could be considered the unofficial black woman's anthem for strength and empowerment. It continues with the cheating motif from the previous song on the album, "Hold Up," and expresses a range of emotions beginning with the opening line "Who the **** do you think I is" and the ominous outro lyrics "Uh, this is your final warning. You know I give you life. If you try this **** again, you gone lose your wife."

To get Beyoncé's look for less from the music video, I searched the website of the popular Instagram boutique, Fashion Nova. In the video, Beyoncé is seen wearing a grey two-piece crop tank with a matching capri bottom. Overtop of the two piece set, Beyoncé is wearing a floor length fur coat. The two piece, along with her boots are pieces from Yeezy, and the outfit is quite Kim Kardashian-West-esque.

Several options for a grey two piece are available at FashionNova.com. The Runaway With Me Crop Top and Crop Legging is a fancier upgrade from Beyoncé's outfit. The top features a cut out, criss cross bodice and is perfect to wear for a night out.

If you're looking for a look closer to Beyoncé's, I suggest the Hot Sauce in My Bag Set (cue Formation). The set is nearly identical to Beyoncé's outfit, with the only differing characteristic being the black and red "Gucci-like" stripe down the front of the top. The leggings are also in a cropped cut. If you're not comfortable with a two piece set, I recommend one of the one piece jumpsuits on the website.

Because it's summer and a fur coat wouldn't be ideal, unless you live in Alaska, I recommend choosing the Buisness Casual Coat in Black for the same effect.

If you're looking for affordable "Yeezy" boot lookalikes, look no further than PublicDesire.com. The Briella Perspex Heel Boots in Grey are most similar to the pair Beyoncé wears in "Don't Hurt Yourself."

Tomorrow I'll be closing Beyoncé Week on The Mod Little Melanin with a few different looks that will be posted throughout the day on Thursday and Friday.
