While I am certainly one to mix high and low pieces often, a lot of my wardrobe is also made up of under $200 staples that work hard for me every week. They are versatile and reliable and pieces that I always feel good when I put them on.

I really truly believe your closet should be full of pieces that make you get excited to dress up. And while I love investment pieces, I also understand everyone’s budget is different.

Wardrobe Favorites Under $200

Today I’ve fully updated this post that rounds all these pieces up in one post. It is freshly updated with newer purchases so if you’re looking for some affordable pieces to refresh your wardrobe as we head into a new season, this post should help.

I do my best to keep this post updated several times a year. (With seemingly everything getting more expensive these days I am always amazed how much items I have owned for several years have gone up in price when I go to re-link them years later!)

If an item isn’t linked it means it is either not under $200 or it is no longer available. And if it is available it will be found in The Shop. 

A lot of these pieces come from my favorite places to shop. If you have any questions about these pieces feel free to drop it in the Comments section and I’ll get back to you!
