    Spring may have just sprung a week or two ago, but I'm already planning my summer capsule wardrobe. I'm itching to wear tank tops, skirts, and summery dresses, but my closet isn't yet prepped for the warm weather. So, I'm taking the time to shop for my summer wardrobe now while the end-of-winter sales are happening.

    After a quick scroll through a few of my favorite sites, such as J.Crew, Madewell, and Gap, I had a cart full of fresh summer pieces. I found classic seasonal staples like elevated tanks, linen pants, and denim. I also found of-the-moment trends like drop-waist dresses and skirts, trendy Adidas Sambas, and plenty of tops in the hottest spring colors.

    In case you also want to jump on your summer wardrobe, I've rounded up my favorite sale picks from across the web. Moreover, all 18 rich-looking finds on this list come in at $200 or under, with most ringing in well below $150.
