Can I let you in on a little secret? I am a picky shopper. Of course, I’m not the only editor to admit to this, but because we’re constantly scrolling through new trends and new arrivals, getting excited about a fashion find is a bit more challenging. Add on top of that the fact that we’re always finding a new questionable trend or recognizing a rising aesthetic, and basically, we’ve seen it all. So when it comes to finding the best things to shop for at any given time, we can be a bit jaded. But every once in a while, I’ll scroll through Nordstrom, Shopbop, Zara, or even our own Who What Wear Collection and find a hidden gem that makes me dust off the chip on my shoulder and slip into something new and exciting. So what finds can make a self-professed picky shopper want to dole out the cash? Ahead, I’ve done some digging across some of our favorite retailers to find the best affordable fashion finds, all under $150. These pieces made me stop in my tracks, and hopefully, they’ll do the same for you.
