As a shopping editor, I get such a thrill when I uncover standout items that look expensive but ring in at more affordable price points. Yep, you guessed it. That's what I'm about to showcase for you below. I went through some of the stores I turn to regularly and that I know are favorites of yours, such as Nordstrom, H&M, and Shopbop, to highlight A+ pieces for under $100. Specifically, I focused on dresses, tops, and blazers.
Below, you'll find stunning maxis and minidresses to live in this season as well as pretty tops and elevated basics to pair with jeans and shorts. On the blazer front, there are chic styles to bring that instant polish to your wardrobe. Keep scrolling for a ton of shopping inspiration.
