I Prefer Spending Money on Experiences, But These Cheap Items Are Hard to Resist

@_jessicaskyeLately, when it comes to my monthly budget, I have been prioritizing travel, concerts, and other experiences over fashion. It's not always easy, especially after being exposed to so many stylish pieces through my work as a fashion editor. One way I like to satisfy my fashion cravings while budgeting is to keep my eye out for stylish, cheap finds that will nicely round out my closet. Thankfully, the sales happening at the moment are abundant with cool under-$55 options.
While I am often tempted to buy pieces on an absolute whim, I do my best to make meaningful purchases for the current season and those on the horizon. One way to do this is by using the three-three test, which was brought to my attention by our market director, Bobby Schuessler. This helps me determine exactly how and how often I will wear the piece in question before committing. This past week, I came across 30 pieces that are both affordable and spot-on for summer and beyond. Scroll ahead to shop my top picks of the moment.
This off-the-shoulder top can be worn with everything from jeans to skirts.
Smocked detailing and bubble sleeves make this top a standout piece.
This jacket will definitely be in heavy rotation come fall.
I love stocking up on basic tees to complete a variety of looks.
This mini bag would be a great companion to a wedding guest outfit.
