I Thought I Was Done Shopping—Then I Saw These Under-$150 Shopbop Sale Items

It seems like I spend $200 any time I step outside in New York City. Between oat-milk lattes, drinks with friends, trinket shopping, Citi Bike rides, and treats from the Mister Softee ice cream truck, life in the city can quickly add up when you're always on the go like I am. To curb my spending habits, I've restricted my nonessential shopping to the bare minimum, spending money on transportation, groceries, and essential bills only. Yes, it's true. I haven't made a nonessential purchase since last month. Please clap.
Naturally, as someone currently on a tight budget, I've rounded up the best affordable items from Shopbop's sale. If you're cautious, look away! Otherwise, you might end up with a few packages coming your way after you scroll through these 30 Shopbop finds.
