What do you recommend I do if I do not want to spend a lot of money? It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut! I do the same thing. I’ll find an outfit I really like (usually all-black) and I’ll wear it to death—tricking myself that changing up the jewelry is enough to make it “new.” But with spring on the way, it’s the perfect time to add some fun and affordable pieces to your wardrobe. Here are my suggestions: Forever 21 “3Q” Jacket, $27 - Inexpensive and a good layering piece for chilly spring mornings. You can wear over dresses, tunics, with dress pants for work—really versatile for a great price. Xhilaration Smock Dress, $20 - You can accessorize this so easily! Add a cardigan or a belt; some bangles and a long necklace; throw on some tights and boots. Tons of options! Old Navy Stripe Tees, $10 - These come in about six different color combinations and are such a steal at $10. The color is a nifty twist on the navy-and-white striped tees you are seeing everywhere right now. BDG Medium Wash Jeggings, $40 - Medium blue denim washes are huge for spring (bye, bye dark wash!) and pair up really well with the pastels that are hitting store shelves too. Plus, it doesn’t get much more comfy than a pair of jeggings. Charlotte Russe Peep-Toe Platforms, $33 - Clogs and clog variations are, for some reason, a big spring trend. I love how these take the clog trend and make it sexy. You can wear them with your jeggings! Steve Madden Leopard Flats, $40 - I have a pair of leopard flats that I wear all the time. They are a surprisingly versatile print and look equally adorable with a dress as they do with a great pair of skinny jeans. I hope this helps you break out of your rut! Remember, there is nothing wrong with a signature look—sticking with what you like and adding fun little bursts of color or trendiness is the best way to keep your wardrobe updated. Happy Friday!

It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut! I do the same thing. I’ll find an outfit I really like (usually all-black) and I’ll wear it to death—tricking myself that changing up the jewelry is enough to make it “new.”
