I have recently been hunting for better quality pieces for my wardrobe without investing too terribly much from my wallet. Below you’ll find some of my new favorite shopping spots that I’ve been frequenting. We’re after quality, affordability, and fun fashion!
I have always loved the simple, classic looks from Banana Republic, but the price tags were just not quite within my reach. Not sure why I slept on their outlet option, Banana Republic Factory, but now that I have found it, I’m fully hooked. The range of pieces span everything that the regular Banana Republic would have, but some of the colorways or cuts may be slightly different. The pieces are still classic and timeless, but the quality is just as good as the regular store’s.
While I worked at Ann Taylor for a few years in college, I had not shopped Loft in over 10 years. I happened to see a skirt from Loft that I immediately fell in love with. It isn’t in my normal color range (I don’t often run towards prints), but it was love at first sight. I slept on it a few days and ended up pulling the trigger while this gorgeous skirt was on sale. I am thrilled with the qualify and look of this piece and can’t wait to wear it to a dinner party in the next few weeks.
I found this small, female-owned business on Instagram and absolutely love the designer-inspired t-shirts and sweatshirts offered. They are great quality, and the shipping and customer service is top notch.
A MUST for workwear! I grabbed a pair of shoes, two shell tops, and a pair of pants all for meetings at work and am going back for more. The quality and fit are absolutely perfect. Putting on a pair of cigarette pants and having them fit perfectly is next to impossible for me these days, but these did. I may need them in every color….
