49 Under $49: Everything You Need for a Stylish Winter
Recently, we've shown you some of this winter's top trends, divulged our all-time favorite coat brands for the elements ahead, and gone on ad nauseam about the cold-weather selection at Nordstrom, but did you think I'd let the new season officially commence without an epic affordable shopping roundup? Never. That's why I found everything you could possibly need for the year's chilliest months, from boots and beanies to coats and dresses, all for—you guessed it—under $49. So whether you're looking to upgrade a few old items, fill some wardrobe gaps, or do a major overhaul, I've got you covered.
Of course, I can't take all the credit. I had some help from my favorite brands and sites, like Zara, Mango, H&M, and even Amazon, because it wouldn't be an affordable shopping roundup without them. As always, they really delivered, so if you're ready to get started, just keep scrolling to shop all 49 of my epic under-$49 finds.
I'm highly considering adding this to my extensive collection of black puffers.
When paired with the matching sweater, these pants can take you anywhere.
This comes in nine colors, and all I can say is good luck choosing just one.
Wrap this little thing around all your coats and jackets this season.
Do not, under any circumstances, forget the matching pants.
Is anyone else inspired to pair a chunky gold necklace with a beige V-neck sweater?

On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
