Accessories are the key to transforming any outfit from ordinary to chic. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to spend hundreds on designer pieces to achieve an expensive looking outfit. So, I’m sharing some of my favorite budget-friendly accessories (all under $250) for spring that look expensive and have a designer feel to them.
Handbags
If you’re loving the Bottega handbag trend but don’t want to pay the designer price tag, then take a look at this one from Etsy. It comes in a ton of different colors and is only $68. This one from Amazon is under $40 and looks very similar to the Padded Cassette Bottega bag. I also really love this leather knot bag – it’s a beautiful beige color that is absolute perfection.
I found some really great handbags from Mango which is one of my favorite places to shop. This braided bag with the chain is super designer inspired and the perfect bag for spring. I also can’t resist a straw tote for summer. I’d pair it with a white dress (think tropical European getaway vibes)! How perfect is this one with the leather flap?
Sunglasses
When it comes to sunglasses, I typically like to stray from super trendy pairs and opt for more of a classic style. However, some trends are too good to pass up, which is why I don’t mind trying a more affordable pair. That way, if I really like a trendier style, I can test it out before investing in a more expensive pair. That being said, if you’re into the smaller wide framed sunglasses right now, then here’s a pair for under $80. These ones are also very similar from Amazon that are only $30.
If you love the Ray-Ban wire frame sunglasses but don’t want to pay for a designer pair, then I’m really loving these Le Specs Neptune Deux Sunglasses. I’ve also been seeing this style of aviator glasses everywhere lately, and I found this pair on Amazon for under $30.
