Spring Finds Under $100 That We Should All Buy

March 4, 2024 By: Nada Manleycomment

I know I’m bossy, and I’m working on it. I have a whole plan to overcome my bossiness and it totally starts tomorrow just as soon as this video is all done. However, I’m a big sister and a personal stylist and I can’t make any promises.

Although, as grown women, don’t we sometimes just want someone to tell us what to do? No? Well, I’m going to tell you anyway. Here’s a shopping list of what you need for spring 2024. And by need, I mean need. Just kidding. I mean I want you to have them and can pretty much guarantee you won’t regret it.

  1. A tailored button-front vest
  2. A linen set
  3. A pair of flat leather slides or sandals
  4. Linen, canvas, stripes and straw (notice how I snuck 4 things into one? Clever!)
  5. A structured cardigan or jacket

I know that we all have different personal style (which is one of the reasons style is so FUN!), so today I show you the pieces that I consider key for the season and also the ones I am considering for myself. Because I’m extra and my style is not for everyone.

So in today’s video and post, I share my favorite finds from the season from J. Crew, Talbots, Anthropologie, Loft, Target and H&M.
