My Friend Gave Me a $550 Budget to Update Her Spring Wardrobe—Here's What I Ordered

As the fashion-savvy person in my closest friend group, I am constantly fielding queries from them on what to buy and where to shop, especially at the beginning of a new season. As predicted, this spring was no different. As soon as the weather even slightly warmed up, I got a text from a friend asking if I wouldn't mind being her personal shopper for the season.
This time around, she gave me a fun budget of $550 to find her key pieces for spring that could be easily incorporated into any closet. In the end, I narrowed it down to eight chic finds that would do the trick. These range from a standout woven bag to effortless linen pants and cool suede sneakers.
Ahead, shop my top picks for each category, plus some extras I have my eye on that are perfect for updating your spring wardrobe.
