When I think about a “special fashion item,” I often refer to those gems that you can add to an outfit to take it to the next level. The idea that it can only take five seconds to completely enhance an ensemble. And yes, bonus points if said fashion-forward piece skews on the more affordable side. Ahem, under $100 here.

As a preview, I’m talking about an item like a cool earring silhouette to amp up an everyday look. To showcase the items in action, I pulled inspirational imagery from some of my favorite fashion followers. If you’re vibing with any (or all) of the pieces, there are shopping recommendations sprinkled throughout to get the looks.
