As a fashion editor, I love putting together an outfit. From browsing through endless virtual retail storefronts to mixing, matching, and layering pieces, creating a visually stimulating outfit can be so much fun. However, looking the part can take a financial toll, especially if your taste aligns with chill, luxurious vibes.
If you've been searching for affordable options to channel understated style and sophistication, then look no further. I've curated a selection of items from top retail hot spots such as Anthropologie, J.Crew, H&M, Nordstrom, and more. You can expect an array of classic styles and accessories along with pretty, elevated basics, all for mostly under $200. Keep scrolling to shop my finds and embrace the luxe look for less.
