Babe on a Budget

No need to settle for a less than par wardrobe because you lack the funds. Plan your closet around well made basics from big brands like the Gap, Nine West and Banana Republic. Mix and matching is made easier by starting with simpler pieces. (Meaning you can make more outfits with fewer purchases!) And then add fun fashion forward pieces from stores like Club Monaco, H&M or Urban Outfitters when your budget allows. Plenty of stores offer fabulous clothes that look and feel pricey, even if they're not. Here are some of my favorite things for under $150...
Who said cashmere is only for the rich and fabulous? A few seasons ago, J. Crew teamed up with a famous Italian mill to create cozy cashmericles for less... This classic V-Neck Cashmere Sweater comes in every color under the rainbow and is only $138.
Designer jeans may be all the rage, but Levi's makes great fitting jeans for half the price... My favorites? These Low Skinny 531 Jeans. But whether you like them boot cut, straight leg, or relaxed, they are all under $80.









Just because coats are usually big ticket items doesn't mean they have to cost a bundle. Pick one in a bold color for maximum impact. I like this Gap High-Collar Coat. And guess what? It's only $128.
