Fashion Girls Know This Is a Top Place to Find More Affordable Designer Gems

After six years of working in the fashion industry, I've learned that my tastes will always be bigger than my budget. While I'm not discounting my ability to someday find financial success (a girl can dream), the unfortunate truth is I'll never be able to drop dough on designer collections each season. But that hasn't stopped me from finding creative ways to get said items into my wardrobe.

Just because I can't afford designer digs from the outset doesn't mean they're completely inaccessible. There are the traditional outlets like finding sample sales and using rental services, and then there's my favorite little known resource: shopping at Need Supply Co. The Virginia-based retailer has been a fashion girl gem for the last decade. Not only is it a great spot for discovering up-and-coming and indie brands, but it also holds some of the best sales known to the industry.

When Need Supply Co. markdowns arrive, they're always ones worth perusing. Unlike its e-tailer behemoth counterparts, the site's sales don't start small. My past purchases have included an MM6 dress for under $50, a Rejina Pyo jacket for the same the cost as my monthly subway pass, and my favorite pair of A.W.A.K.E. Mode pants for almost 80% off. But don't just take my word for it. We're blowing the whistle on our best-kept secret and showing you where you can find affordable designer gems (they're all under $250) up ahead.

Shop the matching Riva Stretch Trouser ($113). For this deep of a discount, it's worth investing in the whole set.
Winter no longer seems so bleak with this cool leather-look trench by my side.
I'm green with envy that I somehow don't own these yet.
I've been on the hunt for the perfect boxy mini bag, and this one just might be it.
Floral and metal is a dichotomy I'm so here for.
Already dreaming up all the ways I can wear this Batsheva dress come spring.
One can never have too many pairs of black booties.
I am a sucker for Acne's lineup of denim. It's about time I add another pair to my collection.
Now that we've been briefed that striped knit maxis are the dress to have for spring, we're buying this on-sale Jacquemus version ASAP.
If the dimensions match up, I may have to make this my new laptop tote.
Have you ever seen a prettier pair of shoes?
Check, please!
This is one of those pieces I've slowly been stalking since it's release. Imagine my excitement when it was finally added to the sale tab of the site.
I'd pay to see a modern-day Wizard of Oz remake in which Dorothy clicks together these red beauties.
This leather dress might be one of the most versatile items you can own in your closet. Wear it on its own in the summer, over a turtleneck in the fall, and with all the buttons undone and open as a duster year-round. 
The Western front is still alive and well in the fashion sphere. 
Packing this flirty blue dress for my next tropical escape.
Sometimes, Ganni blesses us with some super-affordable options.
Sadly, there aren't any of these in my size left. Someone else should buy them so I can live vicariously through you.
This perfect coat finally has me believing in love at first sight. 
I'm a simple girl. I see a pair of well-tailored straight-leg denim and I have to have it.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
