5 Wardrobe Staples for Less: Splurge or Save

January 7, 2016 Melissa Meyers
Melissa Meyer featuring the Black Boyfriend Sweater & White Blouse

I am amazed at how quickly stores like Topshop and Nasty Gal copy the best designer styles out there and offer high quality and affordable versions. Below are some of my favorite wardrobe staples you can nab for less that truly look amazing! I get it if you just need to have the high fashion originals -sometimes nothing else will do. However, these less expensive versions are pretty damn tempting!

1. White Blouse with Black Boyfriend Sweater

A stylish and all-time classic look is wearing a boyfriend sweater with a white blouse underneath. The problem with wearing the two together is that they add bulk and can be unflattering. I found some great styles that perfectly combine the two and get rid of the extra fabric. Both are available at various price points. 

Splurge: sweater by Jil Sander, $318

Save: sweater by Ralph Lauren, $200

Save: The sweater-blouse shown below is from one of my favorite websites, A World Curated. This one is no longer available online but check out the site for some incredible fashion items that won't break the bank.

2. The Perfect Pair of Lightly Destroyed Skinny Jeans

Destroyed skinny jeans are a wardrobe must-have but not everyone wants to spend serious money on a battered pair of jeans! Wear these with a classic pair of pumps or the pointed lace up flats shown. 

Splurge: AG Destroyed Leggings (shown) ,$225

Save: Blank NYC Destroyed Skinny Jeans, $88

3.  Deconstructed Pantos Shape Sunglasses with Metal Brow Bar

These modern and unique sunglasses are wildly popular and loved by celebrities and fashionistas everywhere. The originals by Dior are HOT but you can find great versions of them at various price points. All exude an edgy cool-girl vibe.

Splurge: Dior So Real Glasses, $600 

Save: Illesteva Milan Glasses (shown), $300  Westward Leaning Flower Lenses, $225 or Factory Intergalactic Shades, $40

4. Classic Mini Satchel

Rather than toting around a huge bag, you can save your back and still look chic carrying a classic mini satchel. This bag is large enough to store all of your day to day necessities. 

Splurge: Givenchy Antigona Satchel Mini, $1750

Save: Kate Spade Cedar Street Haven Satchel, $360 or the Rebecca Minkoff Micro Leather Tote, $200

5. Pointy Lace Up Ballet Flats

These casual lace up ballet flats are my favorite trendy item of the year. They look great with cropped skinny jeans, skirts or casual dresses.
