Only True Fashion Girls Can Spot the Affordable Item in These Outfits
Stylish celebrities have an uncanny ability to make the most affordable pieces look surprisingly expensive, thanks to styling tricks and a mix of high and low pieces. Everyone from Beyoncé to Olivia Palermo regularly mixes the best wallet-friendly pieces into their wardrobes, and we're often shocked to discover that they're fast fashion. But when retailers like ASOS, Zara, and Topshop churn out top-notch goods multiple times per week that won't break the bank, can you blame a girl for choosing them over more expensive items? With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to test your affordable item-spotting skills on some of your favourite celebs. Scroll down to see how you do, and shop the affordable pieces in question!
