We’re all guilty of overspending this time of year. With a vacation here and a new linen dress there, I can hardly manage my finances when good times are to be had. That’s what summer is for, no? But here’s the thing: I still want to shop, and I bet you do too. So I’ve curated a “worth-it” shopping list stacked with products that won’t induce buyer’s remorse. I’m talking under-$50 basics, under-$200 shoes, and new beauty arrivals with rave reviews. Shop my favorite June finds below.
