Best fashion buys below $150 for work and the weekends

A good pair of sneakers goes a long way – the classic Adidas Stan Smith is a perfect example of this. Pair it with a pantsuit for work, and a black summer frock for the weekends.

Don’t just opt for a black bag because it’s “safe”. This red baby helps add a pop of colour to your monochrome outfit without looking OTT.

A T-shirt may not be entirely work appropriate, especially if you’re in the finance industry. However, dressing it up with a sleek jacket should do the trick. Wear it with a pinstriped blazer and a midi pleated skirt.

We love a pair of sleek pumps. With its neutral coloured upper, this pair from Mango goes with virtually everything. Complement it with a camel-tone suit for work, and a white T-shirt and denim jeans combo for weekend brunch.

Its sleek and polished silhouette is perfect for work. Best of all, it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. Contrast the monochromatic shade with a pair of bright soles, like a pair of orange heeled sandals.

Wide-legged pants easily elicit those #girlboss feels. Simply wear it with a pair of sleek pumps underneath for extra height and that confident and empowered vibe.

The bold print on these sneakers should definitely be reserved for casual Fridays. Channel your fiery, sassy side by complementing this with a red number.

The muted blue shade is like a pleasant, soothing balm for the eyes. Channel nonchalant chic by pairing this with a white shirt and mid-heeled sandals.

This list wouldn’t be complete without a good blazer, and this Japanese retail haven is one of the best places to shop for comfortable and stylish blazers. Wear this with literally everything you have.

This bag is all about simplicity, but with a touch of sass. The studded details give it a rock ‘n’ roll feel – best worn with an all-black ensemble.
