32 Affordable Items To Make You Feel As Fancy As Gatsby
A pair of loafer mules that Daisy definitely would've worn to one of Tom's polo matches — I mean, they are giving Gucci vibes with that chic buckle after all... But the only difference? They're *actually* affordable. Reviewers say they're soft and comfy, and one person even claims it has more padding than the designer version. 😱 A laptop tote bag with an alligator print to feel luxurious on your way to work, school drop-off, or just your daily errands. The best part? It won't break your bank account! It's very similar to the Béis Work Tote since you can fit your laptop, water bottle, iPad, makeup essentials, and more with ease! Oversize square sunnies that'll make you look so stylish and expensive, you should be sitting poolside at Gatsby's mansion. They look like Bottega Veneta, but you'll be laughing all the way to the bank because these are a whole lot cheaper. Another bonus is that they come in many colors *and* have polarized lenses with UV protection! A set of modern cylindrical wineglasses when you want your twist-off wine or pack of seltzers to feel like it's being served at a roaring '20s soireé. They're so elegant, even the most buttoned-up prohibitionists would be tempted to clink a glass. They're just like the Crate & Barrel version but on a bootleg budget — aka zero buyer's remorse. A "Honey Tinted Lip Balm" that looks so much like Clinique's cult-fave "Almost-Lipstick" in Black Honey, it might just fool you. It has the same sleek packaging, buildable tint, glossiness, and a your-lips-but-better finish. Some reviewers even call it a one-to-one swap, meaning it's giving high-end without the high price. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress reviewers say feels buttery soft because who said pretty has to hurt? This looks so chic and looks similar to Skims, so your looks will *stun* everyone (but your bank account of course, it's cheap)! A set of extra-soft cooling bed sheets so you can get all snuggled up under your favorite cozy blankets and comforter without immediatly overheating. You'll be clocked out for the night in no time thanks to these high-quality (yet affordable!) sheets. If you always get the night sweats then these will be your new BFF. And an affordable Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase if you always want cool side of the pillow vibes when sleeping, because same. Reviewers say it helps prevent hair breakage, control frizz, and maintain hydration — with fewer acne breakouts, too! This doesn't absorb moisture or cause friction like your cotton pillowcase... just sayin'. A layered necklace set because stacked neck bling simply gives rich vibes. But it doesn't actually have to be expensive! Reviewers say it looks gorgeous and *doesn't* tarnish which are the two most important things IMO. Plus, a cubic zirconia ring that looks so similar to a Cartier Love Ring, people will do a double-take as you reach for your water at a fancy restaurant. You just have impeccable taste in rings *and* food... what can you say!? It's hard being glamorous! A set of chic feather-trim pajamas to feel like Daisy as you're getting ready to slumber in your estate (aka your 5th-floor walk-up with no doorman). Now you can journal those manifestations in bed with this good quality and comfy set before you doze off for the night! Slingback heels because why buy the ridiculously pricier version during rain and snow season — they'll get ruined *and* drain your bank account. This Chanel alternative will still be affected by the weather, but at least you can breathe easy knowing you didn't pay an arm and a leg to *still* look chic! A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 to smell like you've spritzed on Baccarat Rouge 540 for so much less (according to reviewers). Let its light notes of jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk transport you into a lush garden by the sea before your daily grind starts. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings so you won't be crying from how expensive they are — in fact, quite the opposite! This will give any outfit a little shiny bling that'll make people say, "Are those Bottega Veneta?" And you'll respond with, "In this economy?" 🤨 Cheap, but cute accessories are the way to go. A saddle shoulder bag if you want that French designer look for much, much less. It's honestly giving quiet luxury because there are no big bulky logos — just a sleek, smooth purse that speaks for itself. Plus, it has a short strap and a crossbody one so you can style it any way you want! A pearl sunglasses chain so cute that even flapper girls would sport 'em because it not only looks fabulous but it also keeps your glasses on you at all times. That means you can do the Charleston alllll night long and have zero worries of losing your favorite pair of sunnies. How fab! A pack of picture lights that look like they'd go in the Biltmore Estate but now they can go in YOUR estate for an affordable price! They're battery-powered, so there are no ugly wires ruining your magnificent wall of paintings, prints, or photos. A cut crystal–style cocktail shaker so you can make your cocktails just as good as a 1920s speakeasy. Reviewers say it's heavy, sturdy, and seals well so when you start shaking your drink, it won't end up all over you. If you have a bar cart, this would be the *perfect* addition! A stunning corset lace-up sundress reviewers are impressed with because it's a good, cheaper alternative to the House of CB version. If you want to update your wardrobe without spending major $$$, then this is the perfect option. Wear it to fancy dinners and any other ~formal~ events on your schedule! A beautiful tennis bracelet so you can have some new wrist candy that stays in good condition after repeated wears *and* (most importantly) sparkles. ✨ If you checked out the Swarovski version and are even a little bit unsure about swiping your card, trying this one out first is the way to go. Think of it as a cheap test drive! A fabulous ruched top and pants set because who doesn't want to feel chic *and* comfortable at the same time... The options are endless with this because not only can you dress it up or down, *but* you can also own it in any color or pattern you want. This + Brunch = Perfection. A 10-piece set of rose gold makeup brushes so you can glide on your concealer, foundation, and bronzer with brushes that look eerily similar to Artis... but they're so much more affordable. One reviewer described these as "professional quality," so why drop bank on the more expensive ones? They do the same thing! A lightweight tote bag if you want to cosplay as a Longchamp girlie who's on their way to Pilates on a Tuesday at 2 p.m., when you're really on your way to work. It can fit your laptop, planner, makeup essentials, and more. Even reviewers note how spacious it is! You'll probably gasp when you realize this folds up into a triangle *just* like the Longchamp Le Pilage bag. A pack of scented shower steamers — a self-care must-have because aromatherapy can help you feel *so* relaxed after a super long day. Those soothing scents of citrus, grapefruit, or cocoa orange will make you feel like you're at a spa without spending ridiculous amounts of $$$. Or an affordable eucalyptus bundle that comes from farms in California and North Carolina, so you know you're hanging up some authentic (and, frankly, bougie) plants in your shower. Eucalyptus is known for smelling ah-mazing and will have you saying "ahhh" when you step into your warm shower. A draped, off-the-shoulder midi dress so you look absolutely *gorgeous* on your next date night. You can pair it with a chic long coat because (unfortunately) cold weather does *not* cancel dressy events! A stainless steel face roller and gua sha — what if I told you this is better than your rose quartz and jade facial tools? 😱 The stainless steel is easier to clean, so you never have lingering bacteria on them, and they can get colder, too! Your puffiness and inflammation won't know what hit them. A faux leather belt that'll have you saying, "Gucci who?" Never heard of her. This is a mere fraction of those designer belts that cause your mouth to drop to the floor when you see the price. It can be paired with anything so you always look chic! A sunrise alarm clock because if you think I'm gonna spend over $100 on something that wakes me up from my peaceful slumber? You've got another thing coming — *cough* Hatch *cough*. This gently wakes you up by brightening gradually 30 minutes before your alarm *and* has an evening setting to help you get to sleep on time. A matching spa headband set with fuzzy arm cuffs, so when you lather up your face with cleanser, you don't have to worry about water dripping down your arms and can keep your hair out of the way, too. Now that is a luxury! A roll of marble contact paper because we love the look of marble countertops, just not their *steep* price points. You can put this on your kitchen or bathroom countertops for an aesthetic that looks straight from Italy! A plush checkered blanket that'll match the expensive vibes of Barefoot Dreams for only a fraction of the price. One reviewer said, "This is one of the best purchases I've made!!" I can imagine why because it's super cozy and comfy! You, toasting every chance you get just so you can show off your fancy new wineglasses: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

A layered necklace set reviewers have praised for not tarnishing *or* turning their skin green (no offense, Elphaba) which is unheard of at this price point! It'll make curating a cool style easier than ever (since it's a set, duh) but they each also be worn separately with necklaces you already have and love. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them. They're gold-plated (sweeeet), lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears. A plated, jewel-embedded ring with Cartier love ring vibes, so you can enjoy the same style without shelling out thousands of dollars. This take on the classic accessory even has a bit of extra razzle-dazzle to it the original simply doesn't! Faux leather slip-ons with Hermès vibes (ooh, la la) because you deserve to feel fancy-schmancy without dumping your entire savings into a shoe purchase. The H-shape is timeless and will pair beautifully with all of your go-to summer looks, I promise. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are quite similar to the popular Dolce Vita pair (but for waaaaaay less). Just think of how stunning they'll look with all your lil' spring numbers and how great your wallet will feel when it's not empty from spending all your money on shoes. 😉 Or chic braided slides if you like the heels mentioned above but know you need to prioritize comfort when it comes to your footwear — you'll want to prance around in these the moment the sun starts shining again (get outta here already, spring showers!) Some slip-on platform wedges in case you're hoping to literally elevate your style, starting with your spring/summer shoes. Chunky espadrille sandals are exactly what you need to kickstart your warm-weather fashion overhaul — they're so comfortable one reviewer even boasted about being able to limbo in them 😅. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker to help you craft a fabulous, flawless updo with minimal effort — perfect for anyone who tends to let their hair air dry (it works best when done on damp hair). Your new go-to look is about to be unBUNlievable! A mini journal embroidered with your birth flower, so gorgeous it'll make you want to pick up a pen and fill the pages with all of your deepest, darkest secrets. Fingers crossed no one comes snooping through it when you're not looking! Stained glass-like window film for anyone with one of those tiny bathroom windows who is just begging for a lil' revamp. This will be so easy to incorporate into your home and, now that the sun has finally returned, will breathe new life into your space. Clover-shaped cabinet knobs with Van Cleef vibes (if you know you know) that'll add some glitz and glam to any piece of furniture with drawers. A faux snakeskin laptop tote bag that'll slither right into your shopping cart and your heart. It'll make you appear put together even on the mornings when you're running late, toss your laptop and phone into it, and dash out the door. It's a no-brainer for anyone who loves the Béis version but knows that would just get beat up from lugging it around various coffee shops or to the office. A pair of butterluxe faux matte leather leggings you'll likely send around to every single one of your friends to buy, too — they're high-waisted (the only way to go, IMO), comfortable, have an added element of style regular ol' leggings simply lack and reviewers keep praising them for being better than the Spanx version. A TikTok-famous maxi dress reviewers say fit similarly to the popular Skims dress. It's the basic maxi bodycon number you've been on the hunt for — and it's saying "Honey, I'm home!) And a ruffled dress that'll make you want to crank up Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and have yourself a twirly dance partaaaaay! It's what you deserve after getting through a dreary winter *and* then April showers.
