When you think of someone like Jennifer Lawrence, who has the kind of access to fashion that most people only dream of, it's easy to assume that the fanciest, most expensive item is the one that gets the most wear. Sometimes, that is the case. Other times, Lawrence and other celebs like her go for the unexpected choice—the more affordable one. After all, everyone who loves to shop knows that, like wine and cheeseburgers, the price of an item isn't always the best indicator of quality when it comes to fashion.
Proof of that can be found in the No Hard Feelings actress's latest outfit for a stroll around her neighborhood in New York City. Lawrence paired designer items—a yellow, relaxed button-down Bode shirt with embroidery; a Loewe raffia tote bag; and Phoebe Philo eyewear—with a $69 pair of Melissa jelly sandals. Celebrities wear low-price pieces too, so the addition of her cost-effective choice of footwear wouldn't be a huge deal if she hadn't already been spotted wearing jelly sandals from another brand that cost $890. The pair in question is The Row's Mara flats, which come in three colors and have already sold out multiple times. They're currently not available anywhere, but Lawrence has a red pair, which she frequented back in June.
Whatever her reasoning is for swapping them out for a more affordable alt, it doesn't much matter to me. I'm just happy to have a pair of Lawrence-approved jelly sandals that won't lead to my bank sending me angry texts again about going over my spending limit. Ahead, shop the actress's new favorite $69 pair of playful but chic footwear before summer ends.
On Jennifer Lawrence: Bode Chicory Beaded Long Sleeve Cotton Button-Up Shirt ($650); Melissa Possession Jelly Fisherman Sandals ($69); Phoebe Philo Score Sunglasses ($480); Loewe x Paula's Ibiza Large Puzzle Raffia Leather Tote Bag ($2250)
