I, like many in the fashion scene, have an expensive eye for clothing. I love admiring designer's new collections and saving up for purchases from a contemporary or indie brand. However, while I curate a selection of special pieces I splurge on in my wardrobe, I'm still on a budget, and a majority of what I shop skews affordable. Since I'm always on the hunt for new fashion items for my job, I like to think I've gotten pretty good at finding items that meet the price people want but don't sacrifice style or quality.
Since spring is coming up and many are on the lookout for new items to wear as the weather gets better, I thought I'd offer a little help. Below, I've rounded up 26 items from all our favorite affordable retailers that I think are going to get plenty of wear this season and beyond. I'm talking ballet flats, mini dresses, ruffled tops, and much more. Plus, everything is under-$100. Don't believe me? Just keep scrolling and have a look for yourself.
