After a recent little closet clear-out, I have a few noticeable gaps in my wardrobe. These need to be filled with some new sneakers, everyday trousers, and some kind of a jacket—I'm thinking cropped and boxy? Things I definitely don't need (but definitely want) include more basic knits, slightly dramatic tops, and a practical leather tote. (Please don't be fooled by the use of "practical" here; I already own several and do not need another at all.)
There's just so much to browse right now, so let me help you out by curating the most excellent fashion picks the internet currently has to offer—the focus being chic, expensive-looking items with price tags that won't make you gasp. If you're looking for some not-too-spendy things to shop, you're going to love this curation of under-$300 finds.

Bless the people who design things that don't need steaming.
