6 Under-$250 Spring Outfit Ideas That Make Dressing So Easy
Since the official start of spring has passed, I figured I would round up six days' worth of outfits so that all you have to worry about as the temperatures rise is moving your winter clothes back into storage and scouting out where you'll be buying iced coffee for the months ahead.
No need to thank me, though. It was honestly pretty easy seeing as everyone seems to have caught spring fever a bit early this year. (Even NYC's weather reflected it.) Plus, I have to admit that I did this partly for my own benefit. To see and shop six stylish outfits you'll want to, and probably will, wear on repeat this season, just keep scrolling.
Cardigan + Jeans + Kitten Heels
This ultra-easy combination is beyond pretty for any day spent running around the city doing errands or hanging out with your best friends at home.
Suit + Sandals
Skip the undershirt, and opt for a baggier blazer for a fashion-person spin on suiting.
Jeans + White Tee + Trench Coat
It simply doesn't get easier than this classic spring coat paired with adorable mules for your on-the-go endeavors.
Muscle Tank + Jeans + Loafers
The casual combo you'll wear every weekend.
Oversize Blazer + Printed Dress + Flats
Dip your toes into the season by styling a printed dress with your trusty fall blazer.
Pretty White Top + Flared Trousers
Add any shoes of your choosing.
