As you may already have read in the past, I have somewhat of a love-hate relationship with Zara. Love for reasons like cool clothes, great prices, and tons of trends. Hate for reasons like takes all my money, everyone else has what you buy, addictive, etc.
So since at the moment, my on-again-off-again relationship with the fast-fashion giant seems to be very much off, today I've decided to look to some of my other favorite affordable sites and brands to see what under-$50 treasures I could find. From shoes and bags to dresses and tops, shop my picks of items you won't see everyone else wearing but will love as much as your last Zara score below.
