These Under-$100 Summer Fashion Picks Are Worthy of Impulse-Buying

If summer shopping is your thing and $100 is your budget, you've come to the right place. The internet is currently positively overrun with a slew of extremely tempting (and rather affordable) little buys, covering just about everything you could possibly be looking to shop right now: Minimalist sandals, linen dresses, chic one-piece swimwear. Vacation-ready bags, on-trend necklaces, effortless matching sets.
Rest assured, I've included the exact bag and necklace Vicky M is wearing above (and as a public service, I'll also link you to her crochet dress that retails for $150, so didn't quite make the cut—but if you jump on it quick, you might just scoop it while it's on sale for $105). Today is all about affordable style, and everything below is right on the money.
If you prefer something a little less punchy, this also comes in a much more chill, natural raffia hue.
A moment of appreciation for this extra buckle strap, and the way it helps stop flip fops from flip-flopping.
This is how I'll be jazzing up all those neutrals I've been investing in.
A one-shoulder black swimsuit is such a cheap trick to looking a million bucks.
Didn't realize the gaping hole in my life that is a pair of striped cream trousers until I saw these.
Divide the price of this effortless set by two, and prepare to mix and match.
When you were all about a Greek vacation this summer, but now have stateside weddings to attend that will cost you about the same, let this tie-front top console you.
We are adults and we are still wearing shell jewelry, but I don't make the rules!
Long shorts are a whole thing, so let's try it. I love that these run from XXS to XXXL.
Should you care to make it a matching set. I feel like this shirt worn open over a swimsuit is a good situation.
Always here for a textured top that I suspect I wouldn't need a bra under.
What I'm throwing on when it's 100 degrees, and I have to drag myself away from the AC to take my dog out before bedtime.
