3 Affordable Spring Looks That are Right on Trend!

Many of you have been asking me to put together some stylish spring outfits that are casual, on-trend, and reasonably priced. So I popped over to Walmart and found some really cute things! Here’s a look at some new key pieces and how to build a great themed look around them.

1. Safari Style

It’s a fashion jungle out there, and with anything goes these days, which is why it’s sometimes hard to know what to wear to look modern and with it. What I can tell you is that you can’t go wrong with a Safari look. Safari style is classic, and it’s back in the spotlight in a big way this summer.

Walmart offers some fabulous, high-quality safari pieces, such as these sporty, olive-colored, cropped cargo pants. What great-looking pants from their EV1 Collection that they have partnered with Ellen DeGeneres on!

Even better is this cute Time and Tru cropped cargo jacket. This is really original and practical for now, right through summer.  I’ve paired these two pieces with a super cute twisty tee, a darling snake print bag, and some comfy slides.  Add some big hoop earrings, and you are all set.  This is a very pulled-together casual look that you can wear while shopping, attending appointments, or on the weekends.

 

2. Wrap Dresses

You know how I love wrap dresses! They’re always feminine, and super figure-flattering, and you can wear them just about everywhere. This spring, Walmart Fashion. Has a variety of styles, ranging from soft and stretchy to crisp cotton.

I love a crisp, airy dress come spring, and this blue pinstripe wrap dress is so sporty and chic. It’s casual enough to wear with slides and a summery white bag, or if you want to dress it up a bit, slip on some high sandals and add a touch of jewelry.

What I really like about this light sundress is that it has sleeves, which is so hard to find in a summer dress.  You can wear the dress as is, or I like the idea of rolling up those sleeves just a touch to create a sporty 3/4 length, and then throw on a couple of bracelets.

I’m partial to the stripes, but this also comes in some pretty floral prints. This pretty, practical dress is a no-brainer. It’s perfect for weekends, or pop it in your suitcase when you go on vacation this summer.

3. Strappy Sandals

Did you know that shoes are the easiest way to update an outfit? This spring, strappy sandals are all the rage, and I’ve found a pair that look sexy and chic, yet are practical too. These tan city sandals with chunky, easy-to-walk-in heels will make any pair of jeans and a cute top look fabulous.  I like this neutral tone because it goes with everything, but they also come in black and the prettiest rose gold.

Here, I’ve paired them with the pretty pink Time and Tru top, featuring a trendy square neckline, bell sleeves, and a cute cutout detail. Add a pair of comfy jeans, a soft, casual shoulder bag, and some fun earrings, and you have a bright and pretty springtime outfit that doesn’t break the bank.
