I’m sure it’s obvious by now that I love investing in key pieces that I know I can keep in my closet for the next several years. For example, the designer picks in yesterday’s post, which you can snag at a discounted price from the My Theresa sale here. However, I also like to add more affordable pieces that I can wear anytime. Although I’ll often encourage you guys to buy better quality when it makes sense, I also realize that designer fashion doesn’t come cheap. If you’re in need of new wardrobe staples but can’t splurge on such big ticket items, I rounded up the best and most affordable alternatives for my favorite designer pieces. Chances are that if you love the look of a particular piece, you can find something similar and sensible for your budget. Scroll on to find out what they are!

Balmain
Designer Blazer
I'm obsessed with Balmain blazers because they're flawlessly designed and extremely versatile. The nipped waist makes it ultra flattering over everything.

The Burberry trench coat has been one of my best designer splurges to date. I wear it throughout spring and fall, which makes the investment worthwhile.
