The Goods: 10 Everyday Spring Essentials That Are Just a Bit Extra
Because you have no time for boring.

Spring is on its way 🙌 and you know what that means: Time to do some anticipatory closet cleaning to make room for new finds. This season, it's all about versatile pieces that have a little *something* to set them apart. Here, 10 items that are on our list of must-buys, from feminine, floral tops to glistening booties.
1. The Summery Shoe
Pitch the toe-pinching heels in favor of stylish flats that go the distance. Off-white straps with neutral soles are the epitome of laid-back warm-weather style.
Style & Co slip-on sandals, $40
2. The Perfect Bag
In need of the ultimate vacay tote? The striped lining of this straw bag gives it a dose of polish.
Muuñ Caba mini canvas and woven-straw tote, $161

3. The Wear-Anywhere Skirt
The term "peasant skirt" may sound dated, but this one sure isn't. A slightly high-low hemline keeps it interesting; wear it with booties during transitional weather and open-toed sandals when things really heat up.
Style & Co black skirt, $60
4. The Extra Accessory
Gold chain detailing lends a mixed-metal chicness to these low-heeled ankle boots. Pop them on to make your trusty jeans and a tee look startlingly new.
Marc Jacobs Remi chain-trimmed metallic leather ankle boots, $450
5. The Not-So-Basic T-Shirt
The white tee comes in a billion iterations, but we'd argue that none are more useful than one that hits just above the hips and gathers at the front. Pair it with ripped jeans and flat slides.
Style & Co twist-front t-shirt, $35
6. The Classic Watch
Michael Kors is king of the versatile watch—wear this one with jeans and a tee, or dress it up for cocktail hour just the same. Sparkling stones will make you feel *100* no matter what.
Michael Kors Partia watch, $225
7. The Pretty Top
Meet the Boho cousin of the peplum top. Thanks to layered lace and a flattering waist tie, this flirty top is flowing and fun and perfect with white jeans.
Style & Co lace top, $50
8. The Unique Blouse
We know, we know—florals aren't entirely groundbreaking for spring. But when dotted atop muted stripes and matched with flutter detailing, they make this shirt bloom.
Style & Co floral top, $55
9. The Cool Shades
From a distance they make look like regular aviators, but 8 distinct edges on each lens make these Ray Bans feel far from ordinary.
Ray Ban hexagonal sunglasses, $113
10. The Flattering Dress
A body-skimming t-shirt dress should be in every woman's closet, period, but laces on this give it an edge. Reach for it as a poolside cover-up, a one-piece brunch look or an athleisure-inspired standby for whizzing through errands when worn with low-top sneaks.
Style & Co lace-up dress, $50
