30 Spring Items That Solve My Expensive-Taste-on-a-Humble-Budget Dilemma
See every under-$300 spring item on my wish list.
Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
Even though I'm a fashion editor, the amount of shopping I actually do is quite limited. As much as I'd love to pull a Carrie Bradshaw and purchase a new pair of Manolo Blahniks every month, my New York rent isn't going to pay itself. My purchases tend to fall under the $200 price point, and this spring, there's no shortage of great finds that look far more expensive than they are. One day, my budget will match my taste, but in the meantime, please see the 30 spring pieces that I'm considering. Below, you'll find matching sets, pretty skirts, and a peek into one of my new favorite clothing rental companies. Happy shopping!
I will forever sing the praises of this butter-yellow hue (until a new color trend comes around).
Come summer, every editor you know will be living in this tube top.
Sadly, the denim vest has sold out, but snag these jeans before they're gone, too.
I've never preordered anything so fast. (Don't worry—it ships in two days.)
I'm starting to see this extra-strappy style pop up more and more for spring and summer.
My spring wardrobe hero item that looks stylish with a plain T-shirt, cardigan, or pinched-waist blazer.
As much as I'd love to own the $4000 Prada version, this one will certainly suffice.
You may have dozens of jeans, but do you have a cool drawstring pair?
I never thought I'd see the day, but Bermuda shorts are making a swift comeback.
