Winter is finally winding down (YAS!), so start saying sayonara to your tried-and-true scarves, beanies and stylish winter snow boots. Clearing winter style essentials out of your closet obviously means more space for an arsenal of brand-spankin’ new accessories that will put your spring style in the #OOTD hall of fame. But before you prepare your acceptance speech, there’s one thing you need to consider: budget (cue the dramatic sighs). Between your long list of must-havespring trends and killer spring break bathing suits, there are a lot of pieces vying for a limited amount of money. While this sounds like a recipe for disaster, there are plenty of incredibly stylish accessories out there that don’t require shelling out crazy cash. Case in point: this list of under-$100 statement sunglasses, trend-right mules, sophisticated suede jackets and more. Your wallet and your wardrobe will thank you.
1. ASOS Tall Order Mule Sandals ($55): To get your spring style started off on the right foot, it’s all in the shoes. Between the pastel mint hue and the hot-right-now mule silhouette, these playful peep-toes have you covered. Show them off with a pair of cropped flares or a pleated leather midi skirt.
2. J.Crew Curved Metal Hair Elastic ($14): With warm (and crazy) weather on the horizon, your tresses’ future is looking full of ponytails, updos and beautiful braids.
