In fall more than any other season I lust over high ticket items like jackets, leather boots and gorgeous knits that cost an arm and a leg. Though some of these pieces are worthy of an investment, I’m not in the market for anything fancy right now. However, I did find some great bargains that I think will get just as much wear as their expensive counterparts this autumn and beyond.
1) Sweater for $24.99 from H&M
This sweater is a dream. It’s long enough to wear with leggings, well made and cozy. I always lust over pieces like this in the fall but normally can’t find good quality knits for this price. Tons of colours too! I bought a large so it’s extra over-sized. The v-neck is just low enough to be flattering but not too risqué for work. Bonus, it’s from the conscious line and made with recycled cotton.
2) Pencil skirt for $10.90 from Forever 21
I bought this skirt last winter to wear to work and have been loving how comfy and stretchy it is. Perfect for early fall with a slouchy sweater and later on with tights. A basic staple in every season for $10, can’t beat that.
3) 3/4 length sleeve boat neck dress $19.90 from Zara
This dress is the perfect length and thickness for fall. They do make a solid version as well, but I love the stripe since it stands out a bit. The neckline is very flattering and the material is a bit more structured than most of the jersey dresses I’ve tried on.
4) Tights (not pictured) $6.80 from Forever 21
When the weather turns it is a great time to stock up on tights. These, booties + a leather jacket will help transition almost dress in your closet into your new fall favourite. I find the Forever 21 opaque tights to be way longer lasting and less expensive than any other brand I’ve purchased. When you’re tall finding a good cheap tight that is long enough can be a struggle and these do the trick.
Has anyone else found surprising deals this season?
Oh and I wanted to share with you some exciting news I got last week! Aritzia (one of my fave places to shop when budget is not as much of a factor) featured one of my photos from the blog on their website. Check it out here!
Love the outfits! And the pics are lovely too!
Thanks so much Jacqui! It was fun putting them together.
