Affordable Spring Must Haves

Beauty Queen: Buy less, save more.

So, with every seasonal transition, some of us just lose or knack for shopping. One bad habit I have is that I don't buy useful stuff, and I waste a lot of money. Sometimes, we spend a lot of money on excess, or "things not needed".

I've realized that I could narrow it down to just 8 things, that can help you survive through this season. Not just survive, but enjoy.

1) I find that you can layer in Fall and Spring, since the temperature is not to cold or not to hot. The light floral jacket really captures the essence of spring and welcomes the new season. This jacket is only $30. I recommend investing a bit more in these items, since you only need one and you want durable items. It's a great jacket to just throw on and off. They go great with dress outfits, or just outfits that are casual with the classic jeans. H&M

2) It that classic shoe again. In other words, your "best friend". Converse can be worn all year long and they are durable. Converse are usually $50, but you can find these for $30 at outlets or when they are on sale. Also, many celebrities wear them, and you can always accessorize with studs. I like all of the colors, and you can even buy different colored shoe laces!

3) Lace is that item that's always in your closet, and a great way to dress up a look. It's preppy and chic, and one lace top could make all the difference. I find that Hollister really specializes in this, since they have collections dedicated to lace. I think it's such a feminine look, and it's a timeless piece to keep in your closet. This one is only $20, and they are very durable. I've also seen cheaper ones.

4)Keeping track of everything is one definition for a satchel. Now, we all know how painful a big bag can be, just dragging it around with you everywhere. Sometimes, even designer brand bags have straps that slip off, so you're left with a very uncomfortable feeling. I like cross body bags like satchels, since it really welcomes spring and you just feel more relaxed and more flexible with it. I recommend these if you are going on vacation, or just running some errands since they can be very handy.

5)Oh what would we all do without these?They protect us from harmful rays of sunshine, and possibly the paparazzi. However, they can easily pulled off. Sunglasses come in many shapes:Cat eye, Round, Aviators,etc. I love aviators, since they are retro and chic. They really compliment any one who wears them and many celebrities wear them. Sunglasses can be found at all prices to suit your budget.

6)Something that you might have in your closet already is a high waisted skirt. The ones from hollister have a strong yet flexible material that I just simply adore. Sometimes, I'll have old t shirts that I never wear, but when I style them with this,it changes everything completely. I also prefer lace tops with these, and you can turn it into a girly or casual look. Having one or two of these could make all the difference, and they are affordable and super inexpensive!

7) Having a pair of flats can give your sneakers a break. In spring, two shoes will really suffice. I always keep a pair of sneakers, but I'll always have a pair of flats. Since shoes wear out quickly, we should often give them a break. I don't recommend wearing a pair of shoes for more than 2 to 3 days a week(consecutively). This really wears out the shoe(I speak from experience). I love flats since they feeling super comfortable, and you won't have to deal with the sock! Flats look chic with skirts and jeans, and they really add a beautiful finishing touch.

8)I'm a person who loves jewelry, and I love layering bracelets. I always have a set of either rubber bracelets, bangles, or friendship bracelets at the ready. I always think that they can dress up a plain old t shirt and just instantly add some shine. I like wearing three at a time, and they just make me feel more poised.

I hope this helped! I'll be back soon!
