If you appreciate a blend of high and low fashion, you need to check out these jackets, shoes, and bags ranging from $30 to $1000.
Being an adult with a serious job can be amusing because there are times when my shopping budget feels limitless, and then there are moments when I need to sell previously bought clothes just to cover rent. It's safe to say nobody seeks my financial advice, but if you need help spending your money, I'm your go-to person. This week, I sought to find a blend of high and low-priced items, including outerwear, footwear, bags, and other essential pieces to invest in for fall and winter. Suede jackets and merlot-colored accessories are trending right now, but I also incorporated wardrobe staples like a classic black cashmere sweater and trench coat. To explore my favorite picks across a variety of budgets, keep scrolling below.
