I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm a really good Nordstrom shopper. There's something so soothing to me about scrolling through all the pages of new arrivals with the intention of singling out the best of the best for all of you. It's here I spot some of the best products before anyone else simply because I'm willing to take the time to go through it all. Sometimes we like to highlight the best basics, newest trends, and so on and so forth, but today, I am here to bring you the best of the best all under $100.
Hundreds of open tabs later, I finally narrowed down my favorite assortment of affordable items and I have them shopped out for you below. Featuring a variety of trendy pieces, must-have basics, and of course, those random "main character" items you've been seeing all over Instagram, I know there will be something in this roundup that you'll want to treat yourself with.
