My Mom Only Buys Under-$100 Fashion—I Sent Her These 27 Rich-Looking Finds From Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M
If there's one thing I learned from my mom when it comes to fashion, it's the love of a good under-$100 fashion score. Since I can remember, she has been a loyal T.J.Maxx and Marshalls shopper thanks to their endless discounted gems. Lately, I've been sending her chic, affordable finds from favorites like Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M. In fact, my last online shopping trip was so bountiful with rich-looking pieces that I knew I needed to get them on her radar.
Ahead, you can get a look at the curated list I recently sent her way. It's full of pieces that are spot-on for winter 2026 and beyond, including elegant coats, cool jackets, of-the-moment sweaters, classic jeans, and sleek shoes, among other great standouts. I told my mom not to blame me if she hits her budget for the month with these pieces alone. I know I had a hard time picking just one of the pieces to add to my own closet.
