I spend way too much time looking at products online—it is my job, after all. Day in and day out, I am sifting through every online retailer possible to try and find the best of the best for you to shop. Resisting the urge to buy everything I put in my stories is one of the more difficult parts of my job, but somehow I've made it quite a while without buying anything new. So how am I going to reward myself? With a quick and easy cheap shopping spree, of course. (I know I need professional help.)
Instead of looking to spend more than I should on something I definitely don't need, I went on an investigative journey to discover the most stylish cheap product (aka anything under $50) on the market right now. What I found was quite astonishing. Gingham bikinis for $17, strappy sandals for $40, and the perfect white tank top for $6. It almost felt too good to be true, which is why I'm writing this story—to prove that it is in fact true. Instead of keeping this affordable goodness to myself, I decided to share it with you all here. If you're confused about the title, yes, I do consider you all my friends.
