Go Off, H&M—35 New Arrivals That Look Like They Cost $500+ But Actually Don't
Between long weekends away and international summer vacations, my budget for clothing isn't quite as flush as I'd like it to be, especially since I'll need plenty of photo-worthy looks to accompany me on my adventures. Alas, that's never stopped me from putting together plenty of outfits that, although not pricey at all, look extremely expensive. It's a life hack I've acquired over my 26 years—one that I'm all too happy to share.
Ultimately, my best tip for looking rich on a tight budget is—drum roll, please—H&M. And this month's new-arrivals section has looked especially lavish. From elevated LBDS and structured suiting to swimwear, the 35 pieces ahead appear to be worth upwards of $500, yet none cost more than $200. Don't worry—I won't tell if you won't.
I've seen this exact same shirt from other brands for triple the price.
I would have thought this stunning ribbed dress cost at least $100 more than it does.
The perfect summer blouse, found.
