No Sleep, No Thoughts, Just These Devastatingly Good Under $250 Finds

It's giving "old money."

Since I was young, my favorite "hobby" has always been finding the best affordable clothing. Family members can recall a time when I'd force them to take me to thrift stores and teen stores like Limited Too (ah, memories) after school to scour the racks for the perfect deal. In my mind, nothing can compare to the thrill of unearthing a discounted designer bag, scooping up a special piece at a sample sale, or finding an affordable fall fashion find. Of course, I'd be lying if I didn't say that shopping takes patience, something not everyone has. It takes a lot of energy to hunt for expensive-looking pieces, time to curate a wardrobe, and effort to keep up with trends. On top of that, it can be overwhelming shopping for a new season; especially when rolling heat waves make the mere idea of fall seem far off. All this is to say I understand why shopping might not be everyone's cup of tea.  Luckily for the anti-shoppers, fashion editors (like myself) live to share their recommendations. So I've taken the liberty of rounding up54 affordable fall fashion finds under $250 that will make the eventual transition into fall less stressful. Fair warning: these items may cause a lack of sleep, thoughts, and overwhelming feelings because they're so good. If you're not an avid shopper with a high serotonin boost tolerance, proceed cautiously.
