    56 Gorgeous Things For Anyone Who Loves To Be Surrounded By Nice Things But Is Broke

    Surrounding yourself with some nice things *can* be affordable.

    1. A Selenite skyscraper for any crystal or interior design enthusiast. It's going to look like you spent close to $50 on it!!! And I say that because I recently saw one in a boutique priced that.

    2. A tasteful nude vase if your interior aesthetic can be described as a bit frisky. But what about if you're a plant serial killer like me? This'll be a gorge storage solution for makeup brushes or writing utensils.

    3. A showstopping mesh dress you can use as a base for basically any special event's ensemble, like falling asleep on the couch with holiday chocolate all over your face after watching Hocus Pocus for the gazillionth time. (It's great year-round, OK?!)

    4. Fancy (LOOKING) earrings to upgrade most outfits. Maybe even athleisure? Whatever. Wear 'em how you like.

    5. A reed oil diffuser more or less made for folks like me who can't keep actual plants alive. Lucky for you and I, these faux flowers look *quite* realistic.

    6. A rainbow prism suncatcher you can easily hang indoors or out to refract sunlight and make your living room look even cooler.

    7. A seashell pillow for MUCH cheaper than you'll see in a cool vintage shop.

    9. A trendy teddy coat in a neutral tone that'll help you ease into the style without feeling like you're committing to a fad. (Trust me, this'll be one of the coziest things you own.)

    10. Satin pillow cases that I own and love! They'll become an essential if you sleep hot and/or want to keep your hair and skin moisturized. Also, they just look very nice!
