The Best Affordable Summer Fashion for Under-$100
If summer shopping is your thing and $100 is your budget, you’ve come to the right place. The internet is currently positively overrun with a slew of extremely tempting (and rather affordable) little buys, covering just about everything you could possibly be looking to shop right now: Minimalist sandals, linen dresses, chic one-piece swimwear. Vacation-ready bags, on-trend necklaces, effortless matching sets.
Rest assured, I’ve included the exact bag and necklace Vicky M is wearing above (and as a public service, I’ll also link you to her crochet dress that retails for $150, so didn’t quite make the cut—but if you jump on it quick, you might just scoop it while it’s on sale for $105). Today is all about affordable style, and everything below is right on the money.
