I Have $1000 Style and a $200 Budget—These 38 Finds Somehow Satisfy Both
Being that I'm a fashion editor, shopping comes with the job. I spend hours every single day scouring the contents of online retailers ranging from Zara to Net-a-Porter, trying to find the very best of what's out there. Because of that, it can be painful to stay on track with my budget, which hinders me from buying many of the designer items that tempt me on a daily basis. Luckily, I've gotten pretty good at finding pieces that look expensive but really aren't.
Here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , we don't gatekeep, especially when it comes to lower-priced finds that pack a lot of punch. That's why I'm sharing with you my running under-$200 shopping list, which includes everything from fast-fashion finds to designer sale items. Essentially, it includes everything you need to dress way outside of your price range without triggering a warning on your banking app.
