11 Under-$100 Pieces Straight From My Closet

While my closet is stocked with plenty of investment pieces I’ve collected over the years, it also includes many affordable pieces I wear on a regular basis. While I believe in saving my money for bigger items I can wear for years and years, I’ve also uncovered lots of great fashion staples that fit into my personal style and also ring in at under $100.

I’m talking everything from everyday basics like jeans and leather sandals to trendier items like oval sunglasses or a beret I’m not ready to splurge on. These are affordable pieces I’ve worn, loved, and can personally vouch for. Ahead, I’m breaking down some of my favorite under $100 fashion finds straight from my closet. See how I’m wearing them, and shop each of my picks for yourself.

Levi’s is my go-to brand for affordable jeans, and this style is one of my favorite cuts. I’m actually wearing them this very moment.

I can't resist a pretty floral top. This outfit had me feeling like Marie Antoinette.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect denim shorts and finally found this high-waisted pair.

With the '90s resurgence this year, I wanted to test out oval sunglasses for myself.

I picked up this beret last year and found it to be much more wearable than I originally thought.

I discovered these black opaque Wolford tights years ago and always recommend them to my friends. They're a winter essential to wear with skirts and dresses.

Another piece I've been wearing for years? These super-soft Splendid turtlenecks. They're lightweight and perfect for layering.

I just added this red turtleneck to my closet and love the bold color.

My friend Carly designs the most perfectly cut bodysuits for her brand Helfrich, and I'm hooked. 

I discovered this top at Zara and packed it on a recent trip to Italy.

Another great find from Zara? These leather sandals.
