My secret superpower is finding clothes and accessories that look more premium than their price tag.

As someone whose literal job is to shop, I'm a firm believer that you don't have to spend a lot to look expensive — you just have to know where to search.

Watch: Mamamia tries 'Style Maths' with Em Vernem and Bazmah Qazi.

Case in point: This weekend, I was browsing at Target, one of my go-to spots for a fashion bargain, and almost fell over myself grabbing the last boxy faux leather jacket from the racks.

It's a dead ringer for a similar style by The Frankie Shop, the cult New York brand known for its high-end closet staples.

The Frankie Shop's bomber jacket comes in black or brown, but it'll set you back $1,400.

Target also has options in black or brown, and for just $30, it's no surprise the style has basically sold out. Here's hoping for a restock.

(In the meantime, Mamamia's Lifestyle Editor Amy Clark currently has this similar $109 Lioness Kenny Bomber in her cart.)

I'm not the only one who enjoys a good bargain.

On Mamamia's weekly fashion podcast Nothing To Wear?, style experts share their latest affordable finds in a segment called 'Boujie and Budget'.

Melbourne-based stylist Victoria Latu was a guest on the show recently, and shared this $80 suede bowling bag that's a great alternative to The Row's $9,100 India handbag…

You know, if you'd rather save $9K for things like rent and groceries.

Spanish high street brand MNG is my hack for finding shoes and bags that are beautifully designed with quality materials while remaining affordable.

A knit tank will always look more premium than cotton, and navy is eternally chic.

This option from Dissh is an absolute steal.

Just add an oversized blazer or long T-shirt.
