My Under $200 Best Buys

I don’t think I’ve walked into a supermarket in the last 6 months without spending less than $200 — even if I’m going in to solely buy milk and bread! You certainly don’t get a lot of bang for your buck at the moment, and that definitely translates to clothing and accessories, too.

While designer items are costing more and more, you can still make some clever and affordable purchases if you know where to look. Obviously, chain stores help with this immensely, but so do smaller local and international labels that we don’t see around often.

I’m all for a feel-good purchase every now and again and if that means an $80 pair of sunglasses just because, then so be it. I’ll always champion the high/low mix in pretty much every aspect of life, so if you’re in a feeling-the-pinch-but-I-still-want-to-treat-myself type of mood, then here are some guilt-free star buys you’ll love, all under $200.
