• We all know my love for pink runs deep and the first outfit has so many pretty shades in one look. For me, it’s hard to pick a favorite piece when it comes to this outfit, but it would be difficult to not rank THESE bow sandals close to the top of the list. Anything with a bow and I’m sold! 

• Speaking of shoes, I do love THESE lace-up neutral sandals in the second outfit. This is a great neutral sandal that can be worn all spring and summer {and even into the first part of fall} and it’s perfectly on-trend with the lace-up style. 

• Another trend for spring that I mentioned a few weeks ago is bold stripes. Isn’t THIS dress fun? I love that there are so many colors in the dress and that’s easy to dress more conservatively with neutral accessories or with hot pink accessories if you are living on the edge 🙂

• Bell sleeves and ruffles go with spring like peanut butter and jelly. I can’t get over the price difference between THIS splurge bell sleeve top and THIS save top. And same goes for the chambray dress: THIS designer version is more than $400 more than THIS save version. Personally, I think I like both save versions better!

• Since there is no denying my love for shoes, I couldn’t help but to include both of these pairs in the post. Lace-up sandals and slide loafers are both trends for spring and after seeing the save versions of both of these, I knew I had to include both in the post! The splurge sandals are so similar to the save sandals, the only striking difference is the tassel on the save version. And when it comes to the slide loafers, they are pretty similar too. With the exception of the number of tassels and a slightly different shade of beige, these are almost clones of each other!

• Lastly, I will never pass on the chance to share a leopard find with you and the clutches are no exception! I have loved THIS splurge clutch for years, but since I already have a similar style from Mark and Graham {you may remember it from THIS post}, it was never economical to purchase one so similar — especially at that price. But, with THIS save version, I could totally justify the under $50 price tag. Now, do I reallllly need another leopard clutch? 🙂

• It would be difficult for me to pick a favorite kind of accessory, but statement earrings have to be pretty high on my list. I love THESE ombre tassel earrings and THESE sequin petal earrings would instantly dress up a look. 

• Another favorite accessory is a handbag. Although I have several classic bags, I think that having a few fun bags — specifically clutches — can really complete an outfit, especially in the spring or summer. How cute is THIS winking camel pouch?! I love all the tassels and pom pom details — it’s just too fun. Although, it is on the more expensive side for a trendy piece, but I think it could definitely be splurge worthy!

• Lastly, shoes. Where to even begin! THESE lace up sandals are the prettiest color of yellow or citron {also available in other colors} and THESE fun pom pom and tassel slides are great to throw with shorts, skirts or even dresses. Both the lace up and slide styles are going to be trendy this spring and summer, and I can’t think of two better ways to wear these trends!

First up is a trend that seems to appear each spring: stripes. Although, this year’s stripes are a little different. The usual nautical stripes {i.e. THESE cute espadrilles that are under $55!} are always a classic, but this spring there are a lot of bold statement stripes along with “banker stripes”. Obviously THIS skirt is the definition of bold stripes and with it’s bright colors, how can you not think of warmer temperatures? As for banker stripes {think Wall Street inspired and borrowed from the guys} THIS bell sleeve top is a perfect example. Priced at $78 and also available in the classic blue, this top also combines another trend that’s sticking around for another season: bell sleeves.
