Spring is upon us and during the months of March, April, and some of May it can be hard to find things to wear to accommodate life with weather. The key is layering. I'm going to link a few items that I think are good to have in your closet this spring and some options for cheaper and higher end alternatives. So that if you think it's worth the splurge you can, or if you'd like to save a penny you can do that as well. (Because I am a college student I understand how crucial this can be)
1. A denim jacket
Perfect to just throw on and go! It can look so cool with a t shirt, black pants, and some converses or flats.
Here is a cheaper H&M option here and then another option (but not too expensive) from Topshop here. I love the Topshop one because it's a little destroyed, however, there website had a page full of denim jackets from dark wash to light so if the destroyed look isn't for you they have a ton to choose from.
2. Rain boots
You know what they say...April showers bring May flowers. So to prepare for the rainy days but still be comfortable and chic I have a great option for you here from ASOS. I'm in love with these because they aren't too tall like typical rainboots and they have a cute buckle detail on the side. Another cute option is the leopard Chelsea boots that J.Crew has here. They are close in price but no where near the whopping $130 for Hunters (and cuter too).
3. Boyfriend Jeans
I love boyfriend jeans. They look great on everyone and they are super stylish yet comfortable which we all know is the best part. For spring we can do a couple things here: roll them up a little and show some ankle with a flat, rock your chucks, or the ever so edgy ankle Chelsea boot. Another great thing about having a good pair of boyfriend jeans is not only do they transition into seasons well, but you can take them from day to night in seconds by adding some heels. First, Forever 21 has an adorable pair here, as well as some here. If you're like me and jeans is one of the things you splurge on I have some options from Zara (pictured), Rag & Bone, Black ones from Topshop, and River Island.
4.Chunky CardigansHaving the perfect cardigan at hand during this next couple of months is critical. It is a stable piece to have in your wardrobe anyway because I use it all year round. During chilly summer nights, all day during the spring and fall, and as an extra layer under my coat in the winter.

5. Flats
Time to show a little more skin! After hiding in socks all winter, (and after a pedicure of course) I love to throw on some flats with just about anything. Nice flats can dress up a t shirt, make a work look more polished, and loafers can bring an edge to your boyfriend jeans, and the best part? They are so easy. They ALWAYS look good. For this one I'm going to just include all of the pictures and you can click the actual photo to take you to the site because the variety is so wide!
