It's possible you've whipped your spending habits into shape, but there's no question you'll want to indulge in a few party-perfect accessories as we inch ever closer to the bustling holiday season. If you've committed to spending a little bit more on your dress and shoes, you (and your bank account) can seek solace in affordable clutches that complement your dressiest ensembles. Take a peek at some of these attention-grabbing choices. They're bound to turn heads with their enticing details, but it's their under-$100 price tags we're really crazy about:

Consider the belt: Once the master of function and utility, it eventually graduated to prime accessory status and became a piece du jour for anyone looking to accentuate her waistline or add a point of intrigue to a simple look. Today, they've gone a step further and become more distinctive and noteworthy than ever before.

Much like a statement necklace or a massive handbag, modern belts are powerful and attention grabbing. There's more to their existence than cinching a baggy dress or tightening too-loose pants (though they will never stop being handy for those purposes). Wearing a creative belt is an easy and often cheap way to change an entire outfit in an instant. Take a peek at some of our favorites, all priced under $65:

We were definitely spoiled by the nice weather this weekend here on the east coast. Temperatures soared to the high 60's and 70's. But don't let that nice weather fool you. The temperature will drop again! Are you prepared for the chilly weather? You probably already have your winter coat but you can't forget about your winter hat.

Why? They say that your head, face and chest are usually more sensitive to varying temperatures than other parts of the body. So with that in mind, make sure that you're warm this fall with one of these trendy winter hats, all under $40!

Hip, stylish, and above all, warm, cozy knit accessories are absolutely essential for seeing us through the season. Whether you wear them on blustery winter days or slightly brisk fall days, you can bank on winning the style lottery every single time. These pieces are designed to lend chic polish to your cold weather attire and keep you toasty in the face of anything. Here, a few of our favorites:

A little burst of inspiration is often all that's needed to transform so-so to stunning. The right clutch can make or break a glam night-out ensemble, for example, and the perfect pair of earrings brings a festive twinkle to an otherwise humdrum look. Clearly the devil is in the details most of the time, and right now we're seeking inspiration somewhere quite obvious: color.

Bright, joyous pops of color can make fall's dramatic, sometimes somber and often neutral palettes much more intriguing. There's no rule that states you have to leave your kaleidoscopic shades for the warmest months of the year. In fact, now is a great time to make a bold statement with a vibrant top, a showy bauble or some other accoutrement that will leave them all breathless. Here are a few of our favorites:

Once the ubiquitous accessory of choice during winter, the basic scarf is now something much more extraordinary. It's transcended the season and become the go-to piece for fashionable celebs all year round. It took a while to get used to that tank top, shorts and scarf combo seen on the likes of Jessica Alba and Hilary Duff during the summer, but the look quickly caught on and became a mainstream mainstay. Now, of course, we're looking to scarves for more than just their style prowess - these chic pieces also keep us incomparably cozy and snug during harsh weather.

Despite its simple shape, the scarf is anything but - from rich, bulky knits to slimmer, leaner cuts, there are plenty of fabulous choices out there. A wildly printed style serves as an instant outfit-maker when worn with polished neutrals, while a more diminutive wrap in a bright solid is perfect for tossing in your handbag or grabbing as you head out the door. Here, a few of our favorites - all for under $100:

Going for the gold, getting gilded...whatever you might call it, there's no denying the intense allure of the brilliant metallic hue this season. Just a drop of gold can transform any outfit from laid back to luxe. If you're more inclined to make a bold statement, think big and focus on one statement-making piece to do all the work for you. Gold accessories move nicely from season to season, too, so there's no reason to lock them away once warm weather arrives. Here are a few fun favorites that will brighten up your overall wardrobe:

If there's one accessory to track right now, it's patterned tights. Bold, outrageous, clearly '80s-referenced and not at all shy, these leggy wonders add a new dimension to fall's already dramatic dress sense. They're perfect to wear with simple sheath dresses; they update a classic LBD in a flash; they add a level of intrigue to a mini and tall boots. Endless styling options make them irresistible, but so do the myriad patterns available (there's something for everyone, even the pattern-phobic). Check out some of our favorites:
