Shopping can be a daunting task, especially if you’re on a budget. But you have to admit there is nothing more exhilarating than coming across a piece that looks designer but is affordable. Thankfully, these discoveries are becoming more and more prevalent. In fact, there are three places where this happens often: Nordstrom, Revolve, and Madewell.
My latest exploration of the new arrivals sections was no exception. I came across a variety of stylish pieces that won’t break the bank. These finds are perfect for everything from date-night and weddings to concerts and BBQs with friends. Think standout dresses, elevated basics, sleek sandals, cool denim, and more.
