I, like many in the fashion scene, have an expensive eye for clothing. I love admiring designers' new collections and saving up for a purchase from a contemporary or indie brand. While I do curate a selection of special pieces I splurge on in my wardrobe, I'm still on a budget, and a majority of what I shop skews affordable. Since I'm always on the hunt for new fashion items for my job, I like to think I've gotten pretty good at finding things that have the price people want but don't sacrifice style or quality.
Since spring is coming up and many are on the lookout for new items to wear as the weather gets better, I thought I'd offer a little help. Below, I've rounded up 30 pieces from all our favorite affordable retailers that I think are going to get plenty of wear this season and beyond. I'm talking about ballet flats, maxi dresses, ruffled tops, and much more. Keep scrolling and have a look for yourself.
I immediately hit "add to cart" on this whole look.
I need to find an occasion to wear this skirt as soon as possible.

When it comes to bomber jackets, the more oversized fit is for the better.

When the warmer days start to come, I'm prepared to wear a lot of linen and cotton.
I love basics that have unique touches, like the hem of these leggings.
I don't own jeans in this shade, and that's about to change.
If I owned these, I might consider wearing my sweatpants less.
It's the bow that really seals the deal for me.
All three colors are great but I'm particularly allured by this lilac shade.
