A nude wedge is a staple for summer whether you want to pair it with a sundress or some cuffed jeans. DV by Dolce Vita is one of my favorite shoe brands, but if you have a good eye, you may notice that Target often has shoes that closely resemble some pricier alternatives. PS. The DV pair are currently on sale for $50 so I’d say they qualify as a steal too!
These chunky link bracelets have been around for a while and are often used as a stackable addition to the “arm party.” J.Crew made the original, but plenty of smaller jewelry boutiques make almost identical variations (like this one from BaubleBar). Don’t spend hundreds of dollars on trendy jewels because you don’t know how long they’ll be in style.
One day at the hair salon I had someone ask me if my bag was Prada. I was flattered, but there is no way I could spend thousands of dollars on a bag. While this Kate Spade bag isn’t exactly “cheap,” it is a timeless style that is very versatile and will carry you throughout the years (well… you’ll carry it technically!).
Isn’t summer more fun with a fresh pair of sunnies? Tortoise never goes out of style, but the cat eye is a big trend that is making a come back from the 60’s. If you are one of those people who can’t remember the last place you left your glasses, maybe a $300 designer pair isn’t for you. Anthropologie has a lot of super cute and affordable sunglasses that will keep you looking oh so cool this summer.

I've gotten all my wedges at Target, they look almost exactly the same for a fraction of the price so why not? Everyone always compliments my shoes and are so surprised when I say they're from Target 😛

Great save options!! I think it's important to splurge on the items that you know you'll wear over and over again – like a purse (my weakness)!

Love the color and style of that Kate Spade bag! You're so right on knowing what to save and what to splurge on!

i'm right there with you. j crew seems to always be the groundbreaker on accessory trends! i saw a bracelet similar to that at target for $20 bucks!

I've been waiting for those DV wedges to go on sale – thanks for the heads up! And I'm that person that has to get cheap sunglasses because I'm always breaking them!

LOVE this! Very reasonable and easily attainable picks here. I love the Kate Spade. Prada would probably make me feel a little too pretentious (minus the fact I have a couple LVs, of course– eeek!!). And I never spend major $$$ on jewelry– I just mostly wear my pearl studs and wedding rings.
