The days are getting longer, which means spring is on the way. I can’t help but get excited to shop for new items to match the change in weather. But let’s face it: I know all too well that we haven’t seen the end of winter quite yet. (I am a New Yorker, after all.) With this in mind, I am filling my cart with transitional pieces that aren’t going to completely drain my bank account. These under-$200 items are the crème de la crème of what’s out there right now.
Below, you will find extremely cozy knitwear items, my unofficial hero of spring layering, for those days that go from hot to cold in a matter of minutes. Denim is always on the brain, and I am still planning to rock the maxi skirt with a Canadian tuxedo inspired, matching jean jacket (try with knee-high boots now and sandals later). And then there is my khaki obsession, so my cart is filled with poplin dresses and utilitarian suiting, all in the easy, sandy tone. The quality on these is all so good I am surprised they are not designer.
