I'm 22, and My Mom Is 48—We Both Adore These Under-$150 Finds
As a single child, I know my mother more than anyone else on the planet and vice versa. Years of shopping for each other and shopping together made us seasoned professionals in each other's sense of style. And while it’s safe to say we each have very different tastes, as proven by the years of changing-room bickering sessions, there are moments when our opinions on fashion converge. After all, I am my mother’s daughter.
It's deeply important to understand that style isn't rooted in youth. Yes, the fashion industry loves to put young 20-somethings on billboards, runways, and advertisements, but fashion is an art form that's passed down from generation to generation. Before influencers, celebrities, and designers, there was Mom's closet. She may not have appreciated my ripped jeans in high school, and I may have classified her boho blouses as cheugy, but as adults, we both agree that nothing beats a classic, budget-friendly, and quality-driven wardrobe. Well-made knits, quality footwear, elevated basics, and fitted pants are top of mind for me and my mom. But being the girly girls we are, we do enjoy a fun scarf or some sparkly earrings now and then. Below are 30 items under $150 that we both adore.
Goes perfectly with some elevated basics and wedge boots.
If you're not a fan of bulky coats, try this lovely, lightweight fleece jacket.
Hope you have the sweetest dreams in this breathable cotton pajama set.
This shoe marries style with comfort. This polished shoe has orthopedic technology made to make your walks both fashionable and comfortable.

All fashion lovers, regardless of age, appreciate an adorable pair of ballet flats.
