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.
All I needed to hear was "grandma," and I was sold.
Everybody needs one.
I think about this belt often.
H&M does it again.
I can't help but include these perfect slingbacks every time.
It's the color for me.
Oh, and there's a matching shirt.
It also comes in black, and I want them both.
It's a good one.
This makes any outfit instantly cooler.
It's giving Miu Miu vibes, and I'm into it.
Say hi to the perfect jeans.
The perfect day-to-night bag.
Amazon does it again.
They're giving rich.
The bubble-hem trend is the gift that keeps on giving.
A classic shape you'll never get sick of.
This looks five times its price.
I'm taking notes on the styling.
They're in my cart.
It's obvious why this is a best seller.
Ordering immediately.
Wear one pair a day or all three at once.
Everyone knows I love a good party dress and this is indeed that.
Just add pumps.
Everyone should own one good evening bag.
I love this high neck.
Always buy the matching pants.
The belt hoarding continues.
I live for this shade of green.
This speaks to me.
It will go with everything.
The base layer you'll wear all season.
This skort is ideal because it looks like a skirt, even in the back.
I know a good pair of shoes when I see them.
Simple, yet effective.
It looks comfy and polished at the same time.
How cute are you?!
Go off, Nordstrom.
I'm very much still into lady jackets for fall.
For when jeans just aren't the vibe.
Why spend more?
A high collar always adds polish.
Never skip on perfect jeans under $50.
How many is too many?
Dress this cute top up or down.
Comfort first!
Don't trust me—trust the reviews.
Brown suede is going to be everywhere come fall, so why not get ahead of the game?
