Wait, I'm Kind of Speechless—These Under-$100 Items Look So Expensive

I scroll through a lot of pages across a variety of retail sites on a daily basis when I’m sourcing fresh pieces to recommend to you, dear readers. I know something is really good when I stop scrolling and pause. To be honest, this often happens when I uncover one of those super-special finds that look really expensive (basically designer) but ring in at a more affordable price point. And yep, that’s what coming at you right here.
If you keep scrolling, you’ll see a curation of under-$100 items that look particularly high-end. You’ll notice sleek tailoring finds like blazers and trousers, gorgeous dresses that could easily be five times the price, and standout shoe styles. All of that and more is on the way below.
