30 Pieces So Affordable They Might Go Unnoticed on a Credit Card Statement
I’ve made my fair share of $$$ impulse buys that have left me wondering Was that really me? Did I really spend that? when I receive my monthly credit card statement. But while I’m an advocate adding investment pieces to your wardrobe, there’s nothing more satisfying than scoring an expensive-looking piece that isn’t a pretty penny. So what is the magic number that does in fact go unnoticed on your credit card statement? The rule of thumb is under $30, and trust me—it can be done. From chunky cable-knit sweaters to everyday flats, your options are vast. Behold, 30 pieces that will act as ghosts on your next credit card statement. You’re welcome.
Dress it up or pair it down; either way, you’ll get your money’s worth with this top.
I'd style with this with a turtleneck underneath during the cold temps.
Layer this necklace among your other jewelry and it seamlessly transitions into an everyday staple.
Don't even have to think about it—this dress is a yes for me.
One of the biggest trends of this fall is that of the printed turtleneck. Better get one now!
I never like to spend too much on sunglasses due to the risk of losing them, so these are the perfect compromise.
This sweater is part of H&M's Conscious collection, meaning its wool and polyester are recycled. A true win-win situation.
Pair with a knee-high boot or opt for a strappy heel to show off your ankles, these plaid trousers prove to be very versatile.
Easing into a trend without breaking the bank is the smartest option—absolutely no buyer's remorse here.
These might as well be designer—they're that good.
Nothing about this gold chain necklace looks like it costs only $24—and I'm not complaining.
Style this polka-dot midi with an oversize sweater and classic sneakers and you're set.
