My Paycheck Just Hit, so I Hit Checkout on These 30 Under-$100 Finds at Zara

Sometimes when I'm up late at night on my way home from dinner or scrolling mindlessly on TikTok, I'll head on over to Zara.com to see the brand's newest, chicest collections. It's practically second nature as a shopping editor to peruse the site when I'm bored in an attempt to soothe my mind. The last few times I've been pages deep within the Spanish brand's coats, jeans, and knitwear, though, I've been finding it harder and harder to browse without adding something to my cart—especially when some of the best finds at Zara right now are coming in at under $100. Now that my paycheck just hit my account, I know the first thing I'll be doing.
As we're fully settled into summer and heading fall, there are so many pretty, shiny things I'm eyeing that, thankfully, won't make a dent in my credit card due to their low-cost, high-joy output. Ahead, I've rounded up the very best pieces from Zara I have my eye on right now, including on-trend coats, adorable footwear, and everyday basics.
If you're going to buy one thing off of this list, let it be this incredibly chic $50 scarf top my sister put me on to.
Fashion people have been loving red stone necklaces lately, and this layered version doesn't break the bank.
These leopard-print jeans are a perfect, affordable way to hop onto the trend.
You can always count on Zara's in-house denim line for a classic pair of great jeans.
I've been eyeing these embellished sandals for months, and now that they're back in stock, I'm not hesitating.
