Shopping for spring doesn’t have to cost you a pretty penny. Most people believe that staying on trend is expensive but that’s not exactly true. You just have to know where to look and often times, you can find items that mimic what you see coming down the runway for less than half the price. Spring/summer items are also usually lower in prices mainly because the fabric blend of clothing is lighter which means a lower price point. If you’re shopping online, don’t forget to look at the sale section. You’ll often find a gem or two there.
For spring and summer this year, florals and denim are huge. Jumpers and light trench coats are also on trend. Here are five finds that will add some spring flair to your wardrobe for less:
Dropped-Lapel Trench Vest, $41.90 from Forever 21

Kimchi Blue April Fit and Flare Dress, $49.99 (sale) from Urban Outfitters
