As a fashion writer, I constantly come across pieces I absolutely love, but I definitely cannot afford to be cashing out every time that happens. The constant battle between splurge and save is something I’m likely going to deal with for the rest of my life—a problem I’ve partially resolved by becoming adept at budget shopping. Figuring out where I can save has freed me from investing in a lot of potentially regretful purchases and ephemeral trends.
If the runways are any indication, we’ll all be wearing bright colors, chunky textures, and statement pieces this spring, and I am so ready to take part in it all. The past couple of years have been tough, so I’m looking to welcome a lighter, more fun energy into my life and wardrobe. Below are five spring trends I’m looking forward to, including statement sunglasses that make every outfit look so much cooler and semi-sheer pieces that invite you in. The best part is that everything is under $100, so you don’t have to overthink it. See you in the streets.
