We’re Fashion Editors With High-End Taste—Here Are the Under-$40 Pieces We Love
I wish I could say that as fashion editors we’re savvy enough to always seek out the affordable version of the item we’re shopping for, but unfortunately (at least for our bank accounts) sometimes we’re entranced by a luxurious investment buy or two. We even did the math and concluded that if money were no object, our dream wardrobes would clock in at a cool $13,042 (the keyword here being dream).
But since uncovering affordable fashion gems is also part of the job, we know a good cheap thrill when we find one. Actually, we’re so well-versed on how to look chic on a budget that we even created our very own Who What Wear collection at Target, which, if you’re not familiar, is always priced well below $100 and offered in a range of sizes from XS to 4X. Call us biased, but we’re kind of in love with the new pieces that just launched from the collection for December, and we might even be giving our more expensive pieces a break for the time being.
With so many new winter-ready pieces to choose from this month, my fellow editors and I weren’t shy about playing favorites. From the coziest sweater you’ll want to live in to fun party-ready dresses, we tried on the best affordable items from the collection and gave them our stamps of approval. Ready to usher in some excellent new pieces to your wardrobe? Simply scroll down to see how our editors are wearing their picks from our new arrivals for December, or head to Target stores to check out the designs in person.
Next up, see which items our editors are naming their number one fashion buy of the whole year.

Devonte Green Spurs Late Run to Send Indiana Past No. 17 Florida State
Devonte Green scored a career-high 30 points to lead undefeated Indiana past No. 17 Florida State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Devonte Green scored a career-high 30 points and Trayce Jackson-Davis added 15, leading undefeated Indiana past No. 17 Florida State 80-64 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night.
Indiana is 8-0 for the first time since 2012-13 and has beaten three straight ranked opponents under coach Archie Miller. The previous two came last season.
Trent Forrest had 13 points as the Seminoles’ seven-game winning streak ended. M.J. Walker and Devin Vassell each scored 10 for Florida State (7-2), which is 0-5 all-time against the Hoosiers.
Indiana, which led by 15 in the first half, spent most of the second period fending off Florida State. But the Hoosiers finally took control during a late sequence when Jackson-Davis and Justin Smith each made three of four free throws and Green scored on a driving layup and 17-foot jumper. Damezi Anderson completed the 13-2 run with a 3-pointer from the corner. When it ended, the Hoosiers led 72-58 with 3:31 to go and the Seminoles never seriously challenged again.
BIG PICTURE
Florida State: The Seminoles are masters of winning ugly. But they were dreadful in the first half, getting outrebounded 17-10, going 2 of 8 on 3s and committing six turnovers. It was simply too big of a hole for Florida State to dig out of.
Indiana: At times, the Hoosiers looked downright impressive. At others, they looked as though they were still trying to find their way against the best opponent they’ve faced this season. But this was a good win and should give them momentum heading into the weekend.
STAT SHEET
Florida State: The Seminoles were outrebounded 35-25 and outscored in bench points 33-20. … Florida State came up with eight steals but was 7 of 19 on 3s. … The Seminoles hadn’t given up more than 74 points in their previous eight games this season.
Indiana: Jackson-Davis also had eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals. … Smith finished with 14 points and five rebounds. … Green was 10 of 15 from the field and 5 of 7 on 3s. … Indiana went 7 of 15 on 3s and had 18 turnovers.

Aliu Optimistic After Meeting With Bettman: ‘There’s Some Big Change Coming’
Former player Akim Aliu met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and other league executives on Tuesday in Toronto, just days after Aliu’s allegations of racist language led to the resignation of Flames coach Bill Peters.
Former NHL player Akim Aliu met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and other league executives on Tuesday in Toronto just days after Aliu’s allegations of racist language led to the resignation of Flames coach Bill Peters.
“It was a tough week, but we had some great discussion,” Aliu said in a statement after the meeting. “They couldn’t have been kinder or more receptive to the message that we’re trying to bring.”
Aliu, who played under Peters with the Blackhawks’ Rockford IceHogs of the AHL during the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons, tweeted on Nov. 25 that Peters “dropped the N bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn’t like my choice of music.” Aliu said he “rebelled against him,” and Peters responded by asking Chicago Blackhawks executives John McDonough and Stan Bowman to send Aliu to a lower minor league level.
The incident was later corroborated by two teammates, who said that Peters didn’t apologize for his comments at time.
Following Aliu’s allegations, former Hurricanes defenseman Michal Jordán accused Peters of physical abuse. In a series of tweets, Jordán said Peters kicked him and punched an unnamed player in the head during a game. Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour, who was previously an assistant coach under Peters, confirmed Jordán’s allegations.
That same night, Peters sent a letter to Treliving to address the allegations of making racist comments and to apologize to anyone affected by his words. He did not name Aliu in the letter. Aliu released a statement last Thursday calling Peters’s apology “misleading, insincere.”
Peters resigned days after the initial allegations surfaced.
Sources close to Aliu told Sports Illustrated’s Michael McCann that the 30-year-old native of Nigeria does not regard the controversy as limited to remarks by one coach from a decade ago.
Instead, as McCann notes, Aliu maintains that the NHL has long failed to sufficiently address broader issues of race and culture—particularly with respect to retaliation against black players who speak up.
According to ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski, Aliu’s meeting is expected to be the first step in a larger conversation that will occur at the board of governors meeting next week.
“We are pleased to have met with Akim Aliu today and had a productive and candid conversation,” Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “Today’s discussion is part of a broader, thorough review and process that the league is undertaking. We share a mutual objective: ensuring that hockey is an open and inclusive sport at all levels.”
“I think there’s some big change coming,” Aliu added. “It’s long overdue, and I’m excited to see it come to fruition.”
