Don't you love it when you find something affordable that could easily pass as designer? It's definitely what I look for when I go shopping, especially since my New Year's resolution was to reduce my spending. I've been noticing two retailers, in particular, succeeding at designing these kinds of pieces right now: H&M and Mango. Both brands have very reasonable price points but anything-but-boring designs.
Below, I rounded up my favorite fashion-y pieces from both retailers. The best part? Every item is $120 or under. Okay, you caught me. Technically, there's one item over that threshold, but it's such a great quality piece that I had to throw it in there too. Scroll down to shop my favorite affordable fast-fashion finds right now.
