Since I like to buy clothes often (okay, that's probably the understatement of the year), I've had to dig deep for places where I can buy pieces that won't make me go totally broke. While I've found some good contenders, nothing has done it for me lately like Forever 21. It has all the on-trend, stylish pieces a fashion editor like myself could wish for—faux-leather puffers, second-skin tops, mock-croc bags, you name it. And the prices are unbeatable, so I never feel too bad when I add three, or even four, extra items to my cart from time to time. Want to see for yourself? Keep scrolling for the current gems I've found, each less than $46.
