I Found 11 On-Trend Spring Outfits That Look Expensive But Aren't
Sponsor Content Created With Walmart
Hello, spring. Is that you? Physically, I may be bundled up on the couch under a blanket, but mentally, I'm outside sipping an iced beverage with no coat in sight. I'm convinced that any day now, I'll wake up to that reality, so I'm preparing my wardrobe accordingly. In with the printed dresses, colorful tops, and light layers and out with the cable-knits, puffer jackets, and turtlenecks. (Sooner rather than later would be preferred.)
My starting place is none other than editor- and influencer-loved Scoop, the trend-forward brand exclusively available at Walmart. Scoop never disappoints with cool, wearable pieces that only look expensive, and the new affordable spring collection is no exception. It features everything I'm looking to shop right now: bright colors, bold prints, on-trend denim, and stylish accessories (I'm a sucker for the jewelry), all under $50 apiece. Impressive, no? See and shop my favorite styles before everything sells out.
This pink and red color pairing brings me so much joy. It's the epitome of spring to me. Plus, I love the way this faux-leather jacket is styled over the shoulders.
A slip dress is the perfect transitional piece to wear this time of year. The not-too-high slit, dot print, and black and white color scheme make this one unique but still easy to style. Just throw on a blazer à la Chelsea Miller on chillier days.
Red is a must-have color this spring. Whether you're into a matching knit set or a color-block dress, Scoop has plenty of options in various shades of red. PS: I'm team knit set.
Pack this lime top-and-skirt set for your next vacation, and don't forget the flower earrings.
Sweats, but make it fashion. No, really. The cinched-waist detail on this hoodie makes this set feel polished.
There's nothing better than finding the perfect pair of jeans—except for finding the perfect pair of jeans with a $26 price tag. I think it's safe to say that this will be my go-to spring denim 'fit: a colorful knit, strappy sandals, and a lightweight, cropped, faux-leather jacket. *Chef's kiss.*
If you're looking for a sign to add a colorful dress to your spring wardrobe, this is it. (Yes, this dress is the same lovely lime shade as the set above). Style it with slides, heeled sandals, or sneakers. You really can't go wrong.
I always gravitate toward dresses with a cinched waist, so it's no surprise this zigzag-printed one caught my eye. I'll personally be styling it with either over-the-knee boots or loafers, but strappy heels would be seriously cute, too.
Commit this easy denim-and-blouse look to memory for when it's finally warm enough to wear shorts outside. The matching headband is a must if you want to take the look to the next level.
This matching faux-leather top and skirt are seriously chic. I love the way they're styled here—layered over a crisp, white button-down.
