I’ve made my fair share of $$$ impulse buys that have left me wondering Was that really me? Did I really spend that? when I receive my monthly credit card statement. But while I’m an advocate adding investment pieces to your wardrobe, there’s nothing more satisfying than scoring an expensive-looking piece that isn’t a pretty penny. So what is the magic number that does in fact go unnoticed on your credit card statement? The rule of thumb is under $30, and trust me—it can be done. From chunky cable-knit sweaters to everyday flats, your options are vast. Behold, 30 pieces that will act as ghosts on your next credit card statement. You’re welcome.
Can't go wrong with a tie-collar blouse.
A subtle statement earring that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

One of the biggest trends of this fall is that of the printed turtleneck. Better get one now!

Gingham trousers for $20? Pinch me.
These come in every color imaginable.
This whole look is a vibe.
Ah, the ideal date-night top.
This sweater is part of H&M's Conscious collection, meaning its wool and polyester are recycled. A true win-win situation.
I love this sporty-cool basic as a layer when dressing in the winter.
Pair with a knee-high boot or opt for a strappy heel to show off your ankles, these plaid trousers prove to be very versatile.
Add hair bows to my current obsession.
