There’s quite a bit of affordable fashion out there now so it’s easy to look super stylish on a budget these days! My daughter Rachel and I were recently asked by Who What Wear to share our favorite trends under $100. Although we both have our own personal style, we tend to lean towards similar staple looks and found so many great finds this season that are budget-friendly and chic. From statement sunnies to oversized cardigans and blazers, these picks make for the perfect pulled together look! See and shop our finds below.
