Great Finds Under $100

September 23, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

It finally feels like fall here! The temps are dropping and it feels wonderful. Thank you to those of you who weighed in on books you are loving. I will share a full list tomorrow. Today I am sharing a few things I’ve purchased lately and am really happy with. Plus a couple of fall things I have my eye one.

LOVING THESE

brown pants stripe

I had seen these pants on a friend and immediately ordered. They do not disappoint. I wore them to book club last night and they were so comfy. You know they are good when you don’t want to take them off. Lightweight and really cute. I added a black belt last night and it was a fun outfit. For reference I am 5’7″ and wearing a size 4.

This is my go-to t-shirt ($10). I size up to a medium.

MOTHER JEANS | TARGET VERSION

Excuse the terrible photo. I forgot to take a still shot and had to screenshot a video. But let’s focus on the denim, shall we? These jeans are $40!!! I had seen a few people talking about them and had to try them out for us. They are winners. They look just like the Mother jeans ($268). I am 5’7″ and in a size 4 so I would say they are true to size. They run slightly long so keep that in mind. But they worked with both heels and sneakers so that is great. This is the medium wash but I like them so much I am going to order the light wash, too.

By the way, our rug is still on sale. We love it.

COMFORTABLE MARY JANE’S

Last chance to grab these leather Mary Jane’s as they are on sale and sizes are going quickly. Riley and I both have a pair and wear them all the time. A great flat – classic choice.

ORDERED FOR RILEY

I ordered this for Riley. She will get so much use out of it because fall gets very chilly in South Bend, IN. More color options, too.

PREPPY VIBES

I bought this argyle sweater in a small and loved wearing it. It’s lightweight and soft. I appreciate that it is 100% cotton.

  • argyle cardigan
  • darling jeans ($59)
  • green hat
  • bracelet stack
  • suede handbag (50% and a great small size)
  • belt
  • pretty loafers

The feminine collar on this sweater is right up my alley. So pretty. The pink color is also beautiful.

UPDATE YOUR FALL JACKET

Ok, this one is not under $100 but it’s on sale for $136 and it’s ADORABLE. I love everything about this quilted jacket.

And look at the pretty zippers on the sleeves. I feel like this jacket would elevate any outfit . . .even just denim and a t shirt. Really cute and usually $195.

THE MVP CLEANER

If you are new here, you may not know that I used frozen spinach to ice my back (not intelligent) and it leaked all over our sectional. It was a DISASTER. This machine worked miracles and our sofa is now white again. I feel like I put it through the ultimate test and it passed with flying colors.

And now I am using this ice pack. Every house needs one. It doesn’t sweat and molds to your body. A 10/10 product.

FALL BRANCHES

fall stems

I don’t go nuts with fall decor but these branches make me happy every year when I pull them out. They are gorgeous in person. So realistic and every year they mimic what I see outside of my windows. They are currently on sale for $24 each. I use 3 branches. I do think they are well worth it as I am going on year three of loving them. Plus they make a statement.

*The vase is a great price for it’s size and beautiful texture.

Speaking of fall, I am wanting to bring in some warmth on my porch without spending very much. I love the warm tones mixed with the blues here. These are rain proof and 4 for $49! That’s basically $12 a pillow. Sold.

It’s safe to say I overdid things with my back on the weekend (recap here) so I am going to lay low today and put the ice pack to good use. And I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who commented on this post. You all are my people. Amidst a chaotic world, isn’t it nice to know we feel connected. I hope you have a fantastic day.
