I'm Getting a Jumpstart on Fall Shopping—33 Affordable Key Pieces You'd Find In a Wealthy Person's Closet

Ah, fall. We can't be reunited fast enough. In my world, cooler weather reigns supreme, especially due to the change over to chic layers. I know we're still in August, but I just couldn't help myself—I went ahead and got a jumpstart on shopping for the new season. I kept the price point at under $150 when pursuing stores like Zara, Nordstrom, H&M, J.Crew, and more. The vibes? Anything that looked like it belonged in a wealthy person's closet.
Included in my roundup is a selection of standouts that span from classic pieces to of-the-moment finds. Think cool jeans, pretty dresses, suede jackets and bags, chic shoes, trendy cord necklaces, and incredibly stylish jackets. Scroll on to shop all 33 of my top affordable rich-looking picks right now along with some visual outfit inspiration to keep in mind for the fall season.
I can't get these Adidas sneakers off of my mind.
