Mixing Budget Friendly Trends with High End Staples

I had a fun shopping day with my Mom the other day, and wanted to share my outfit with you guys. I mixed some high end, low end, and middle end pieces and started thinking about how I usually do this - because it makes the most sense to me!! I will run down the items below with links, and you can also click on the images below to shop!

Necklace (Similar) - This is the cheapest item I am wearing in this outfit in terms of cost! I love to save money when it comes to statement necklaces. They go in and out of style, you want to buy several for each season, and they still look awesome! I could not find the exact necklace, but this one I linked is very similar and very affordable!

Earrings - My earrings would be considered a mid priced item.. NOT cheap, NOT too luxe that you are scared to wear them. Perfect. Nice, quality, beautiful. I got these from my Mom for a birthday present last year. I love them and they will last me so long and look beautiful for so long. They are also super light and comfy and that is important to me with earrings.

Bracelets - I stacked a few, but they are mostly this brand and still on trend. I think this is a good price point. I mean, I would love if they were just $5 each, but then the lure would be less right? They are affordable, but nice enough to give as a nice thoughtful gift to someone or find on sale sometimes if you want to save a little money.

Shirt - This would be a budget item! And it is so comfy and soft and versatile! It is a piece you can mix and match through the seasons and pair with more expensive items. It runs a tad large. I am wearing a medium for reference. I am so glad I found this. I remember spending $100 on my 1st chambray shirt when they were first in style and I have only worn it a couple of times because I have to dry clean it and I am scared to mess it up!

Jeans - I love this brand SO much for all distressed denim, and this sale makes them more affordable. I know I say high end and budget.. but I feel like jeans and boots are in betweeners. They are not a trendy, cheap price.. but they aren't outrageous. They should last a good while without going out of style and are very high quality. ALSO - I am 5'3". And this length is PERFECT on me! The end is frayed, which I think is a really cute 90s detail that I like.

Boots - These are a pretty good price right now considering that full price they are over $150. I hesitated to even purchase these, but I am SO glad I did, because i have not been able to take them off! They are the perfect neutral, they match all of my clothes, and are so comfy.

Purse - This is obviously the high end staple of the outfit! And this is the purse I use almost every day. It is literally never full - hence the name "Neverfull"! It never goes out of style, it gets better with age, and it matches everything!
