Whether you were athletic, girly, edgy, or glam, everyone related to a particular Spice Girl and their unique style. And who says our elementary school faves can’t be a fantastic source of fashion inspiration? Read on to check out some stylish, budget-friendly and totally wearable outfits inspired by each of the five Spice Girls.
