Don't you love it when you find something affordable that could easily pass as designer? It's definitely what I look for when I go shopping, especially since my New Year's resolution was to reduce my spending. I've been noticing two retailers, in particular, succeeding at designing these kinds of pieces right now: H&M and Mango. Both brands have very reasonable price points but anything-but-boring designs.

Below, I rounded up my favorite fashion-y pieces from both retailers. The best part? Every item is $120 or under. Okay, you caught me. Technically, there's one item over that threshold, but it's such a great quality piece that I had to throw it in there too. Scroll down to shop my favorite affordable fast-fashion finds right now.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
