Just the other day, I was touring a gallery with a friend when I interrupted her to ask where her blazer was from. Her answer? Zara. My jaw? On the floor. You would have never guessed this design-like tweed blazer came from the budget-friendly retailer. I was inspired to do a deep dive into its new arrivals and seasonal staples to find the chicest fashion finds under $100. Consider me impressed.

At the end of my hour-long shopping spree, my cart was full of standout finds. Think affordable Zara picks like a 100% wool cardigan, trendy barrel-leg jeans, satin thong kitten heels, a boho-chic fringe tote, and a suede-effect trench. Truly, they have the makings of a chic winter-to-spring wardrobe that’s due for compliments and praise.
