we've learned anything over the past two years from our trendsetcing first lady, Michelle Obama, who has paired J. Crew with everything from Etro to Alai'a, its that great style doesn't always have to come at a steep price. The art of dressing well is less about how much something costs and more about how it all comes together. And while this season's standouts—like the sophisticated camel coats at Michael Kors, Chloe, and MaxMara; the ladylike structured bags at Celine and Marc Jacobs; and the spotted and striped furs at Fendi, Lanvin, and Valentino—arc surely topping every fashion lover's most-wanted list, their price tags sometimes prove to be less than accessible. And if spending millions on your wardrobe isn't in the (credit) cards this time around, there are still ways of making your dollars and fashion sense go the distance.
