Did you really think I'd let you get even one step closer to fall without an epic affordable shopping roundup? Never! In honor of the fast-approaching Labor Day, I found everything you could possibly need for the season ahead, from sweaters and pants to shoes, bags, and jewelry, all for—you guessed it—under $49. Well, maybe not everything. The inaugural warm beverage of your choosing is beyond my scope, but from a fashion standpoint, I've got you covered.
Of course, I had some help from my favorite brands and sites, including Zara, Nordstrom, H&M, and even Amazon. You know, all the usual suspects for both trend-forward pieces and timeless basics on a budget. Ready to get started? Just keep scrolling to shop all 49 of my finds and prepare for your most fashion-forward fall yet.
