Mastering the Art of Mixing High-End & Affordable Fashion Pieces
Mastering the Art of Mixing High-End & Affordable Fashion Pieces
Hey Luxuriance, fashion is all about expressing your unique style, and you don't need to break the bank to look fabulous! Whether you're a fashionista on a budget or simply love mixing it up, here are some tips to help you slay the fashion game while keeping your wallet happy!
1️⃣ Start with a Statement Piece:
Begin your outfit with a high-end statement piece, like a designer bag, shoes, or jacket. This sets the tone for your look and instantly elevates your style. I opted for my Express Cardigan as my statement piece. Not on the extremely high end , but high enough, I waited for a discount code to buy two versions of the cardigan. I like every one like to save money when able. This style is sold out, but Express has a another option that is similar in style.
2️⃣ Mix & Match:
Pair your statement piece with affordable, trendy items from fast-fashion stores. Think classic basics or unique pieces that catch your eye. The key is to find balance and harmony in your ensemble. I added the spaghetti strap bodysuit from The Luxuriance Style Boutique. It layered perfectly under my cardigan and is one of my closet staples.
3️⃣ Focus on Fit:
Regardless of the price tag, well-fitted clothing always looks more expensive. Tailor your affordable pieces to your body for that custom-made feel. I dont know about you but its not always easy find pants that are perfectly fitted without having to tailoring them. I came close with the ankle length slacks from H&M. I am in love with these pants. I have them in multiple colors, and when I couldn't find them in my size. Which was the case with the hunter green pair, I bought a larger size and had them tailored. And now their perfect!
4️⃣ Accessorize Wisely:
Elevate your look with carefully chosen accessories. A statement belt, jewelry, or a stylish hat can make a huge difference. Accessories don't have to break the bank either! Now I will admit, that I spend a pretty penny on accessories. Im not one to let luxury items sit on the shelf and sit pretty. Im all about getting my cost per wear. Thats how I rationalized the price tag.
5️⃣ Play with Color & Texture:
Experiment with color combinations and textures. Mixing materials like silk, leather, and denim can add depth and richness to your outfit.
6️⃣ Confidence is Key:
Remember, it's not about what you wear, but how you wear it. Confidence can make even the most affordable pieces look like a million bucks. I don't always feel my best, but when I have an outfit on that I love. I hold my head high and use the streets as my runway.
7️⃣ Thrift & Vintage Shopping:
Don't forget about thrift stores and vintage shops! You can find unique, high-quality pieces at a fraction of the cost. Plus, it's eco-friendly! Over the years and owning a boutique i have acquired a great deal of clothing. The clothing industry creates a lots of waste. To do my part, I created a Poshmark store to let someone else do good with clothing I no longer use. Just trying to do my part to save Mother Earth.
8️⃣ Mix & Match Accessories:
Experiment with mixing high and low-end accessories. Pair your designer sunglasses with an affordable scarf or your luxury watch with a budget-friendly bracelet. I found a beautiful bracelet set from Amazon, I wear them as arm candy and as an anklet.
Remember, fashion is all about expressing yourself and having fun. There are no strict rules, so let your creativity shine! Mix high-end and affordable pieces to create your own signature style.
