    3 NYC Editors Create 6 Discount Store Looks - All for Under $50!

    Photographed by Chantal Adair, Refinery29

    It doesn't really require much style savvy or sartorial dexterity to walk into Barneys and emerge bearing an amazing outfit. If you really want to see if a self-proclaimed fashion pro is worth his/her salt, take 'em to the discount shops.

    To really flex our bargain-hunting muscles, three of our editors headed over to Marshall's, T.J. Maxx, and Strawberry to see if they could put together two head-to-toe looks in one go… for under $50 each. We succeeded and failed in relative degrees, but we'll say this: Shopping with such a time and resource crunch was a blast. Click through to judge for yourself - how'd we do?

      "Most days, I'll be able to look down and say that the majority of the clothing I have on was dirt cheap... but finding a head-to-outfit under $50 in one place at one time is definitely a challenge.

At T.J. Maxx, I found tons of awesome pieces, but unfortunately, putting them together would have put me at way past $50. Obviously, I failed this particular challenge by ringing in at $51.97 (without shoes, either), but I feel alright about going two dollars over because this is an outfit I would wear all the time. With the gossamer plaid, the textured herringbone, and the retro sunglasses, I was not-so-subtly channeling Dries Van Noten's last show."
