After a summer filled with obsessing over quiet-luxury looks, it seems that the focus for fall is on the same track. You guessed it—I'm still trying to look rich. While my obsession is growing daily, my budget isn't, but not to worry. As a shopping editor, finding expensive-looking items that don't break the bank is my superpower. H&M, Reformation, and Nordstrom are three of my go-to retailers when I'm looking for something that elevates my look. I figured I should use my powers for good and round up the best of the best when it comes to chic items for fall. They're all under $100 and scream, "Yeah, I'm rich."
