I Have $300 and a Goal of Looking Rich—42 Fall Accessories That Fit All My Needs
This month, I’ve been diving deep into the world of fall street style, and one undeniable trend is apparent: Fashion people are expertly using accessories to elevate their minimalist outfits. Take Olivia Rodrigo, for instance; she skillfully paired a chic animal-print shoulder bag with her cozy sweater and streamlined skirt, adding an eye-catching focal point. Similarly, Victoria Beckham showcased her keen fashion sense by enhancing a simple monochromatic suit with a striking mini burgundy bag.
Elevating a basic outfit with carefully chosen accessories is a timeless concept. Yet it becomes increasingly prominent as the vibrant hues of summer give way to the more subdued colors of fall and winter. For instance, in the past two months, you've likely noticed It girls use statement belts to transform an ensemble by introducing an appealing layer of texture that draws the eye. They even have been opting for '80s-inspired chunky earrings to breathe new life into simple denim looks, effortlessly adding a touch of sophistication that captures attention.
As I have started updating my wardrobe for the cold-weather season, I've bookmarked 42 under-$300 accessories to give my outfits a polished look without breaking the bank. So keep scrolling to uncover the seriously impressive finds.
If you can't tell, I'm obsessed with east-west bags. This leopard iteration is perfect because it's under $30 and will make anyone look like a fashion person.
Have you Jane Birkin ified your bag yet? If not, start with this pretty keychain.
These boat shoes look so similar to the designer pair I've seen on all my favorite European fashion people.
Let the earrings do the talking by styling them with a white T-shirt, dark-wash jeans, and ballet pumps.
Sheer socks will instantly elevate your loafer game.
