SPRING STAPLES UNDER $150

The Steele Maiden: Spring Staples Under $150

Oh hi there! It’s been awhile. But since it finally feels like Winter may be done, I figured it was as good a time as any to pop on and share a few easy (and affordable) options to update your Spring wardrobe. I’m eyeing those tortoise hoops, side button denim dress (just $60) and white straw bag as a way to update my own closet this season. All pieces that feel very right now but also super versatile and like I’ll get a ton of wear out of them all Spring/Summer long.

And while it may still not be quite warm enough in New York for sleeveless dresses, it is warm enough for a chic striped blazer, straight leg jeans and neutral accessories. A simple outfit (as pictured above) that I wore nearly exactly this time 2 years ago and I still repeat often. Fingers crossed for 70 degree days around the corner.

WHITE MIDI SKIRT AND STRAW BOATER HAT

White eyelet midi skirt and straw wide brim boater hat

This weekend Adam and I were back home in Pennsylvania for my cousin’s bridal shower and to spend time with family. Which would have been lovely on it’s own – but add to it the first weekend of near 70 degree weather and it was pretty much perfect. I packed my favorite new wide brim straw boater hat and easy white eyelet skirt – both of which ended up being just the thing for a casual Sunday afternoon among the wildflowers.

SPRING SWEATERS AND BOYFRIEND JEANS

Anthropologie Layered Sweaters and Boyfriend Jeans

Remember last Friday when I boasted I’d recently done my ‘spring cleaning’ and packed up all my winter clothes? Well this week started with me frantically digging for my coat as I ran 10 minutes late to work. 30 degree temps and a hectic few days followed leaving me more than ready for Friday… and is 60 degrees too much to ask for?

DENIM JACKET AND CROPPED TROUSERS

Spring basics - white denim jacket and cropped trousers

The weather has been making it decidedly difficult for me to incorporate spring styles. Basically a flash of ankle is all I’ve been able to manage these past couple of days. Lucky for me, these bold cropped trousers and gingham flats make that sliver of ankle way more exciting.

GINGHAM TOP AND MIDI SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Newbury Street, Boston wearing French Connection Midi Skirt and Restricted SandalsOne of the things I love about traveling (and there are many) is getting to dress a little bit differently. While I always want to feel comfortable and like myself, whenever I visit a new place I try and adopt a bit of their unique style into my own.
