The Hi-Lo Jackpot.

If you’ve been reading for awhile, you know that I like to mix higher-end pieces with fast fashion ones.  Investing in a good handbag can make a no-label white t-shirt, worn-in Levi’s, and a pair of simple flats look ridiculously chic.   Today, I thought I’d feature a few perfect-for-right-now pieces that are on the more affordable end of the spectrum (i.e., everything is under $150), and most of them inspired by the pinks and grays on the chic pea above….

+Remember my obsession with that Ulla Johnson lace paneled sweatshirt (see pick no. 2)?  Rebecca Taylor has a strikingly similar one on sale for $119!

+Very chic with those Vejas I’ve been coveting ($120).

+While in this palette, consider this flounce-y top ($29)!

+Maybe the shirt would play nicely with these (admittedly over $150) earrings from Rebecca de Ravanel?  (Much more affordable version available here, for $42!)

+For dressier occasions — how fun are these $90 feather and velvet heels?!

 


+Meanwhile, I am literally dying over this sexy sweater dress ($120), which would make the wearer look…tres soigne.  Finish with a pair of these ($120) — I own this style in velvet and they’re a great heel height.  I also own J. Crew’s Elsie in multiple shades — probably my favorite every day pump.  (Though if I worked in a corporate environment with more of an excuse to wear pumps regularly, I’d probably splurge on some BBs.)

+While we’re talking knit, I love this slightly frayed Rebecca Taylor sweater, on sale for $101! — which might look lovely with the deep pink/red/burgundy version of the blush ones above, some lighter wash jeans, and a deep red lip.

+Also love the fit/cut of this sweater ($35).  Maybe with burgundy supergas ($64)?!

 

 

 

+Finally, this bootie is pretty much perfect in errrry way — including in its pricetag, which rings in at $110.

+Pair with this lovely striped turtleneck ($65).

+I’ll conclude with something budget-busting — this epic faux fur jacket, on sale for $293.  LOVE.  I’d layer it over stripes!
