I think we both deserve something new. As a self-proclaimed expert shopper, I am constantly checking my favorite retailers like Revolve, Nordstrom, and Zara for affordable, chic new arrivals to scratch my shopping itch. Spring/summer is my personal favorite season for fashion.

I love heeled sandals, sundresses, casual denim cutoffs, and swimwear, so this is the season I am most excited to shop for. I'm looking for timeless staples that I can style in multiple ways as well as a few fun trend pieces to try during the warmer months. With summer vacations and events on the horizon, I figured now is the perfect time to try some new things out. 

This doesn't mean I'm not staying on budget. I have rounded up 32 under-$100 items that I'm way too excited about.
