Cheap and Chic: 20 Buys Under $20

Temperatures have finally started dropping, and so the other day I broke out a leather jacket I haven't worn all summer.

I know finding $20 isn't exactly striking it rich ... and once I started brainstorming what I wanted to buy with my newfound cash, it seemed like 20 bucks wouldn't cover the half of it. Bargain shopping isn't easy, and it may take a little digging around to find something really awesome that's also dirt cheap. To help, my fellow editors and I rounded up a hit list of 20 beauty products, accessories, and clothes ... all under $20.

And don't worry, this isn't just a list of cheap drugstore lip balms. We've found really cool items (think pretty earrings and dresses) that look way more expensive than they actually are ... stuff you'll be completely excited to buy.
