Well, hello there. You can call me your personal shopper. Well, technically, I’m a fashion editor, but my friends often refer to me as their personal shopper. Given my role in the industry, I’m often their go-to source when they want sartorial guidance or any shopping advice.
Recently, one of my friends asked for tips on a few pieces to mix into her wardrobe to keep her vibe feeling fresh for the New Year. Naturally, I sent her a few standout items I’ve seen recently. And because the market is filled with a range of affordable items that look quite high-end, I didn’t send her anything that costs more than $100.
Keep scrolling to check out seven key pieces I suggested to my friend. If you keep scrolling, you’ll also uncover an entire assortment of other affordable items that could inspire your wardrobe as well.
My friend loves pieces that are highly versatile. This forward button-up shirt can be styled in so many different ways.
