Little Luxuries That Are Actually Affordable
Do you have silk tastes but a polyester budget? Does a little part of you weep when you make a “sensible” purchase? Does your heart say, “Buy that luxury item!” while your head says, “Um, hello? Rent is due and you do enjoy having a place to live, right?”
Hey, you can’t deprive yourself forever. Thanks to these accessible luxury items, you can get a taste of the luxe life without going overboard. Put simply: “Treat yo’ self.”
Here are a few special little somethings from accessible luxury brands that’ll put a smile on your face — without draining your bank account.
Key Rings
Here’s a way to add a little luxury to something you use every day. Plenty of designers offer cute — and shockingly affordable — key rings. And hey, no one needs to know that the key dangling off that designer ring is for a 20-year-old hand-me-down jalopy.

Flip-Flops
Yearning for designer clothing? Set your sights a little lower — on your feet. Many designers offer flip-flops that’ll keep your toes stylish without cleaning out your wallet.

Socks
If you live in a cold climate, you could argue that this purchase is a good investment. (Really, you can!) Soft cashmere socks will keep those toes toasty warm, and having that little bit of accessible luxury wrapped around your feet will most definitely put a spring in your step as you shovel snow.
