I’ve resigned myself to a life of affordable goods, but that doesn’t mean a constant compromise in personal style. Welcome to On the Cheap, my weekly pick of affordable items that are actually worth it—and look far more expensive than they actually are.
I am not a millennial pink lady, nor do I wear jumpsuits. Both make me feel too young, which is a difficult cross for my 5'1'' frame to bear. But the moment I saw the two worlds collide in this adorable coverall, I was sold. In my mind, it's what Barbie would wear to soup up her fuchsia Ferrari.
Offered in sizes XS - 4X, the affordable and accessible style immediately sends you into a daydreaming style sesh. Imagine wearing it with single sole pumps to work or to your next lunch date look paired with a straw bag. Toss on some sneakers and wear it casually while walking the dog. The possibilities are just short of formal, although we wouldn't blame you for wearing it to a wedding. At a price that barely rivals a few fancy cocktails, you too will eschew your no-jumpsuit rule.

When she isn’t approaching style through a modern, accessible lens, she’s scouring eBay for vintage Levi’s and pretending she knows how to surf. Before joining ELLE.com in 2015 she worked as a freelance writer and stylist in New York City.
