5 SPRING STAPLES EVERY WOMAN NEEDS:

1

UNDER $100 SPRING DRESS:

The first item on my list of the spring staples every woman needs is this amazing spring sweater dress! The stitching details really elevate it to the next level and the ivory color is the perfect neutral shade for any time of the year. The knit material makes it look expensive, but it really has a price point under $100, making it stylish AND affordable! I’m wearing an XS in this spring wardrobe essential.

NEUTRAL HANDBAG:

A stylish neutral handbag is definitely a spring staple every woman needs and this one from Kurt Gieger is fantastic! It reminds me of a Chanel bag but it’s a fraction of the price and the chain strap detailing is to die for. If you’re looking for designer style without the hefty price tag, this bag is a perfect option.

CHAIN NECKLACE:

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, then you might recognize this two-tone chain necklace from Nordstrom. It’s my favorite dupe for the YSL necklace I wear on repeat and for good reason! The two-tone design allows for unlimited options when choosing matching accessories and with a price point of $150 the value here is fantastic. This chain necklace isn’t just a spring staple every woman needs, I would say it’s a staple for the whole year!

DENIM JACKET:

A good denim jacket definitely deserves a spot on my list of the spring staples every woman needs, and if you’re in the market for one, I highly suggest this distressed trucker jacket from Nordstrom. I love the frayed hem and the distressing throughout the whole jacket and the medium wash goes with almost anything. I’m wearing an XS in this chic spring jacket.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY VERSION:

If the option above is a bit out of budget, no worries! I recommend this cropped denim jacket by Mavi Jeans as a more affordable option, especially right now since it’s on sale for under $70! I love the trending cropped style and the bleached hem is so unique, you can’t go wrong with this fabulous spring staple every woman needs. I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.

NEUTRAL PLATFORMS:

The official “it” shoe trend for 2023 is the platform heel, and this version from Sam Edelman is the ideal option IMO. They remind me so much of the Valentino platforms, but instead of $1000+ dollars, they have an affordable price point of $160! I find these trending shoes run true to size and you can expect to wear them all day in comfort.

BONUS ITEM: A SPRING DRESS WITH A FUN CUT-OUT DETAILING IN THE BACK:

I couldn’t end this post listing the spring staples every woman needs without mentioning this amazing midi dress! THe toffee shade looks good enough to eat and the cut-out detailing on the back is SO fun. It’s currently on sale for 25% off so now is the time to snap one up! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.
