These 30 Under-$100 Items Are on My Wish List Because They Look So Expensive

I'll admit it. I'm a little on the bougie side. I have somewhat of an expensive taste, and my budget doesn't always reflect that. Well honestly, it never does. Nevertheless, I don't let that get in the way of my style, as I know how to look like a million bucks without spending it. I'll let you in on a little secret: The key to looking expensive is finding clothes that fit you well and make you feel your best. What really makes something look elite and elevated is self-confidence. I mean, the whole reason we get dressed in the morning is to put on our armor to take on the day ahead. Your clothes should be tools for making you feel like the best version of yourself and accentuating your best assets. Your personal style tells the world who you are without you even having to say anything, and I want my style to say, "I'm expensive and worth it." 

Since I'm a self-proclaimed expert at looking stellar on a budget, I rounded up 30 items that I can't get enough of. From jewelry that could pass as real gold and diamonds to chic basics that might be mistaken for The Row, keep scrolling to see the expensive-looking items I have my eye on.
