Every Under-$30 (Yes, Under-$30) Item in My Cart Right Now
There are two types of shoppers in the world: those of us who take time to think through and consider each new purchase and those who get a rush from making a quick but thrilling new buy. Sometimes I'm the former, but most of the time I'm the latter because when I see something I like, I just know—I don't need to think too much about it.
Case in point, the current contents of my shopping cart. Each of the below 31 items immediately caught my eye for a specific reason, whether it was a color, print, or texture, and since they're all rather cheap, I'm confident that there won't be any buyers remorse in my future, regardless of how impulsive my shopping habits can be. So if you're on a tight budget like I am or are simply curious if I could actually find stylish pieces less than $30, scroll down to pursue everything in my cart.
Not only is this the T-shirt silhouette of the year but it also happens to come in my favorite color trend, lemon meringue.
I was already on the hunt for a knit dress to buy for fall when the shopping gods blessed me with this one that's currently on sale for $30, so I'm taking it as a sign.
Can you describe a neckline as elegant? Because this definitely applies.
Celery juice green is the summer color that's here to stay for fall.
You don't normally find Vince's great-quality basics on sale like this, so when you do you capitalize on it.
My interests include shopping and public health—and sometimes they happen to overlap.
Fall is on its way, which means more lettuce trim tops are in my future.
Don't worry, I'm still a big fan of gold jewelry, but this silver chain is calling my name.
I'll be honest, I would have glossed over this top but I'm really into the way it's styled with vintage jeans.
A reminder that some great finds are hiding in the men's section.
I couldn't help myself, I found so many good knit dresses for fall.
Cut from a soft Pima cotton, this comfy thong might be the best shopping decision you’ll make.
Up next: 27 fall items I'd buy with $20, $50, and $80.
