Sweater: VICI | Pants: H&M | Heels: Zara | Glasses: Forever 21 | Bag: Calvin KleinΒ
Not gonna lie – I wish I had all the money in the world to never have to look at a price tag again, or save for something that I really wanted. Don’t we all, right? The truth is, while I would love to have a closet full of designer duds, I am more than happy shopping at H&M, Topshop or my favorite – Zara, for the majority of my wardrobe. The trick is to make sure you’re buying the right kinds of pieces and caring for them properly , so no one would ever guess how little you paid. Below, I’m going piece by piece of this look to show you how to do just that!
* Sweater ($52) – Fabric selection is key. Tweed, cotton and linen often look expensive even if they’re not. The one-shoulder detail most definitely elevates the look of this sweater too.
* Pleather Pants ($17.99) – Go for texture. Even the best real leather has a certain grainy texture, and so do good fakes. Nothing gives away faux leather faster than a smooth texture.
* Bag ($103.60) – When picking out a handbag, stick to simple bags with little hardware and design since those are generally giveaways to a budget price. A simple satchel is classic and discreet.
* Shoes ($59.90) – Beading and other embellishments can make a shoe look more expensive. Zara is AMAZING for pieces like these! This pair was under $60!
* Sunglasses ($28) – No one would ever know that these glasses were under $30. Gold-tone metal frames always give sunglasses an expensive appearance and is a trend seen in designer glasses.Β
Hope you ladies find these tips helpful! And thanks as always for reading!Β
Okay I love these shoes. The detail is so perfect and so great for fall! I also have to budget but I think that anyone no matter the budget can look amazing!

I’ve had my eye on the Spanx faux leather leggings, but the high price tag has always kept me from buying. Yours look so nice I thought they were the expensive kind! They are definitely luxe for less!

You look absolutely stunning! I LOVE this sweater and how you did your hair. Great tips too for the budget conscious shopper! I couldn’t agree more!
I’m totally with you- especially for trendy pieces that pop up for a season; why spend all your hard-earned cash on a one thing, when you can score several at a discount? You look so cute here, lady- and those shoes are EVERYTHING.

You look like a million bucks with pieces that didn’t break the bank. I love all those stores you mentioned and your tips. So true about the faux leather leggings. They just opened a Zara in Michigan and it is kind of far away from me, but man I can see myself spending money there. Love the gorgeous mustard gold pumps!
Great tips! I just love those heels! They are amazing!
That sweater is perfect! I love the off the shoulder look and the yellow heels! #hearteyes xo Jana | http://www.janastyleblog.com
