Even though October just started, I have been shopping for fall for quite some time now, and the chic new arrivals continue to roll in. I've been restocking everything from great denim pieces to new knits to pretty blouses and fall dresses. Of course, I wish I could spend as much as my heart desires, but I'm keeping an eye on my favorite affordable retailers that have elevated-looking pieces that could sometimes pass for designer. H&M, Zara, and Mango have set the bar high with their latest new arrivals, and I couldn't help but snag a few fall pieces. I rounded up 30 affordable but expensive-looking fall items that look way pricer than their price tags.
