FASHION 16 Affordable Fashion Finds for Spring

A person stands in a living room holding a pile of colorful clothes. They are wearing a light blue patterned shirt and jeans. The room features beige sofas, floral decorations, blue and white accents, and a patterned rug.

In the spirit of saving money and shopping less and finding more time in the day…

….I have the best idea.

No more over-fashion thinking. Let’s talk through a week’s worth of outfits.

I found some of the cutest things that you can wear on date night.

And lunch with friends.

And sweet tea on your back porch.

And an afternoon with a really good book.

And the best part?

I found the CUTEST new drop from Crown and Ivy and almost everything is so affordable (and 50% off right now, too). And it all goes together and mixes and matches and creates outfits and spoiler alert—there’s a lot of blue and white and pink.

Don’t you love a friend who shops for you?

Oh, good.

Me, too.

Monday

First up in the spring department (well actually the anytime department) are these petite cuffed jeans and this striped shirt with a ruffled collar.

The jeans are SO FLATTERING.

They are stretchy with pockets and wide legs and narrow in at the waist with a wide waistband. I have them in three different colors and get so many compliments when I wear them. They run a little big so order down if you are in between sizes.

I’m five feet and these fit perfectly with a little crop.

If you are looking for longer cuffed jeans—these are another great affordable option.

I got this striped shirt that has the cutest ruffled collar and hidden buttons on the front and it looks so high end. It runs a little big (I’m wearing a small) so order down if you are in between sizes.

You can see the shirt here.

And then?

I added this toile cardigan that’s the perfect spring accessory.

You can see the flower belt here.

Tuesday

Look at this pink ruffled blouse.

You can wear it tucked in or out.

I love these blue toile pants with a pop of color. The pants are stretchy and pull on (they are SO COMFORTABLE) and are longer than this—I had to shorten them to fit.

I think this was my favorite find of spring so far.

It’s a quilted reversible jacket. On one side has stripes and the other side has florals. It fits true to size (I’m wearing a medium).

I paired it with these light blue jeans that I cuffed at the bottom and these pink buckle flats.

Wednesday

This cardigan is so versatile.

It’s actually a little longer so I left the bottom unbuttoned.

You could belt it or wear it with a shell or toss it over your shoulders (like I did in the first photo.

You can see the toile sweater here.

Thursday

This sweatshirt dress is so amazing.

Perfect amount of stretch.

Perfect puffed sleeves.

Perfect darts at the waist so it’s a lot more flattering than your average sweatshirt dress.

It comes in two colors and I wore it last night and got several compliments.

Friday

I love blue and white dresses.

It has the prettiest ruffled collar and it’s lined.

The dress runs true to size and it has pockets, too.

Saturday

I found these blue pants on clearance.

They are stretchy (but the jean is super sturdy and holds the stretch well). The pants have pockets and wide legs and narrow in at the waist with a wide waistband. They come in tons of colors and you can uncuff the pants if you want them longer.

Sunday

This dress is SO COMFORTABLE.

It’s unlined with three-quarter-length balloon sleeves.

It can take you from shopping to dinner to game night. It has ruffles and pockets and it’s made from a cotton material that feels so high-end. It fits true-to-size and it hits me right at the knees. I’m 5 feet for reference.
