These New Arrivals Look Lavish, But Spoiler, They're Under $100
After catching up on the London and Milan Fashion Week shows, I've felt a zest of inspiration to add a few new things to my closet. In combination with the comeback of street style and the exciting debut of new runway trends to discuss, my appetite for new clothes is at an all-time high. My wallet has other ideas, though, so I've resigned myself to sticking to a budget of under $100.
Thankfully, I've mastered the art of scouting finds that look wildly more expensive than they actually are, so finding stylish, affordable pieces hasn't been difficult at all. Since spring is on the horizon, most of the things I'm pinging fall into the light-layer and vibrant-color categories, including a flashy lime-green minidress from & Other Stories and a structured cream blazer from H&M. There are plenty more fancy-looking finds below, so get settled in and keep scrolling.
I've seen similar versions of this set sell for over $200, so yeah, you'll want to jump on this one early.
Another key to looking expensive: Try to find colors that are bold but not gaudy. This shade of green is powerful yet not in your face.
I'm a true believer in a black midi dress. It's a fail-safe choice for any occasion.
Style this with dark-gray dress pants and strappy heels for a '90s-inspired outfit.

There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content.
