These 30 Under-$100 Nordstrom Sale Items Made Me Re-Evaluate My Shopping Budget

Now that summer is winding down, it's time to take stock. I'm not sure about you, but for me, the end of the summer season signals a big, red, glaring reminder about my shopping habits: it's time to cut down. After international trips and one too many happy hours with my friends, it's in my budget to save right now, not spend money. And, while I tried my best to institute a thoughtful zero-shopping ban on myself, I caved after browsing through Nordstrom's new sale section.
Ahead of Labor Day, the retailer is slashing the prices of some of its classic, must-have clothing items ahead of the fall like sweater dresses, ankle boots, and timeless denim. While I'm not one to usually pass up on a sale, this one is full of chic under-$100 items, making my plans to stock up on fall fashion items much more guilt-free.
If you're looking for a sign to buy yourself something pretty this week without breaking the bank, you're in the right place. Keep scrolling to shop a few of my favorite seasonally-appropriate Nordstrom sale items, all ringing in under $100.
