How to Shop Luxury for Less

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Luxury doesn’t have to be about being rich or logos, which we’ve learned from the era of quite luxury. However, sometimes that’s what we want!

Here’s two ways to shop luxury for less, whether you want to look rich or feel like you are.

Luxury Resale

I never saw myself as a much of a designer girl, but there are some bags that are too good to not want. However, if you’ve seen me post a new bag on social media, just know that I probably did not pay full retail price for it. While I don’t have a closet full of designer bags, I have been fortunate to track down a few I’d really wanted via luxury resale.

And in case you think you don’t know what that is, if you’ve heard of Rebag or Fashionphile, then you know. I own a Celine Nano Luggage, a mini Chanel Handle with Care Vanity Case, and a Chole Mini Vanity C Bag. All of which I really wanted and was able to find in great condition and under $2000. So, if you’re looking for a specific bag, I recommend shopping secondhand first.

Discounted Designer

While this may sound like shopping designer sales, that’s not exactly what I mean. Try shopping stores like TJ Maxx (The Runway section specifically), Saks off 5th, Nordstrom Rack, The Outnet, etc.

This method of shopping luxury for less requires a bit more effort, but when you find something splurge-worthy for a fraction of the cost, it’s so worth it! I will forever cherish my fur lined Gucci Princetown slides that I found at the Wrentham Premium Outlets Saks off 5th.

Which of these two ways to shop for luxury goods do you prefer? Let me know if you want to see any of my discounted designer picks!

My Favorite T.J.Maxx Summer Finds

I’ve partnered with T.J.Maxx to share my favorite finds of the summer. With 100s of new arrivals each week, it’s impossible not to fill your online shopping bag with your favorite designer brands. With free shipping on orders $89 or more, fighting the urge to buy everything that I find is a legitimate struggle for me. And with T.J.Maxx’s everyday low prices, I am completely and totally fine with that.

You know what I can seriously get enough of, ever? Denim. Specifically jeans. Two of the looks I am sharing are featuring designer blue jean denim, that I scored from The Runway section on The Runway section on T.J.Maxx.com. The Runway features premium designer fashion at incredible savings.

Initially I was concerned about the fit, and nervous about finding jeans that worked for me, but being able to filter down the size options eliminated me falling in love with any jeans that weren’t available in my size. No fomo, is a very good thing. If they happen to not fit the way I like, having the option to return them in store is super helpful!

And while jeans are still my number one go-to, finding my favorite brand dresses at great value, is too good an opportunity pass. This summer I’ve definitely found myself wearing dresses a little more than anything else. I didn’t expect to find this dress, but being able to search clothes by style (in this case contemporary) allowed me to view things I might not have searched for specifically, but are exactly what I didn’t know I wanted.

This linen dress is one that can be worn to picnics in the park, long walks on the beach, or days that are just plain hot. 

I wore it most recently for a date night to a local pizzeria, where we ordered buffalo chicken everything and got caught in the rain on our way home. I plan to wear in again very soon during our family vacation to Maine. 

These three different tjmaxx.com looks all help fulfill my desire for glamour and luxury, at prices the make me look like the star that I think that I am. And the second look, the bodysuit and shoe are also from tjmaxx.com!
