I'm Updating My Wardrobe on a Major Budget—35 Under-$100 H&M Buys I'm After

"New year, new me" is the mantra. I've decided to make quite a few updates to both my personal life and my personal wardrobe. This involves a wardrobe overhaul, but one thing I'm certain of is that I definitely don't want to break the bank while doing it. I was checking out some of my favorite retailers to see where the best place to begin would be, and I found myself obsessing over the latest arrivals from H&M.
It still amazes me that H&M can create some of the season's best pieces at under $100. Right now, I'm predominately shopping for wardrobe staples that can be worn a million ways, which is exactly what I found during my recent scroll. Below, find the 35 pieces I'm beginning with.
A black top that will make you want to give away every other one in your closet.
