After a recent little closet clear-out, I have a few noticeable gaps in my wardrobe. These need to be filled with some new sneakers, everyday trousers, and some kind of a jacket—I'm thinking cropped and boxy? Things I definitely don't need (but definitely want) include more basic knits, slightly dramatic tops, and a practical leather tote. (Please don't be fooled by the use of "practical" here; I already own several and do not need another at all.)
There's just so much to browse right now, so let me help you out by curating the most excellent fashion picks the internet currently has to offer—the focus being chic, expensive-looking items with price tags that won't make you gasp. If you're looking for some not-too-spendy things to shop, you're going to love this curation of under-$300 finds.
Would pay double for these jeans.
The exact ones I'm wearing are almost sold out at J.Crew, but these are a good alt.

POV: You found happiness in the Mango shoe section.
Also, here's Mango again, always with the staple knitwear.
Chic.
I'm not sure we're paying enough attention to Vince's sneaker selection?
Bless the people who design things that don't need steaming.
This appears to be a particularly good under-$200 black leather tote.
Sooner or later, this dress will save you from having nothing to wear.
Plus a wallet-friendly option.
If you need fresh ballet flats, may I suggest a brown suede?
