It seems the more in-fashion it is, the more money it costs, except during the holidays, when specialty stores and mass-market retailers want - heck, need - us to Spend. It. Up.

With fewer shoppers in the aisles this Thanksgiving weekend - 133.7 million shopped in-store during three days compared with 141.1 million in 2013 - great fashion deals are poised to take us straight through December.

So for those of us who missed the Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday bedlam, there's still time to find a fab deal.

Check out these fashionable holiday gifts for under $100.
