Hi! Popping in with a post I already had in the works and wrapped up during some downtime…. Clearly I’m looking forward to wearing dresses again, especially now that I’m postpartum. While putting together these spring outfit ideas, I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the pieces are actually pretty budget-friendly – $120 or less. Enjoy! Xo
Spring Outfit Ideas (Mostly $120 or Less!)
GREEN DRESS // BLUE BAG ($40!) // RAFFIA HEELS ($60!) // SUNGLASSES ($20!) // PEARL NECKLACE ($85!)
There are a lot of blue and white patterns to choose from with this famous Abercrombie dress, but I gravitated toward this soft green one this time around. The accessories are all fairly affordable, like this chic $40 bag that comes in a ton of colors and these $60 raffia slingbacks with surprisingly positive reviews. Quince is an unexpected place to buy fine and demi-fine jewelry, but their prices are impressive – I love this freshwater pearl necklace with gold vermeil seed beads.
FLORAL DRESS // SUNGLASSES // WHITE EARRINGS ($48!) // STRAW BAG ($40!) // SUPERGA SNEAKERS ($70!)
I’ve definitely leaned into a “French girl” aesthetic over the past couple years (and in my ideal spring capsule wardrobe), but I still can’t resist a pretty pattern. Tuckernuck’s “Fresh Buds” print is a favorite for sure, and of course I love it with a navy background on an easy shift dress. These earrings are another Tuckernuck classic! I prefer this petite size but the regular size is just as lightweight. My trusty Supergas would add another pop of white to this spring outfit idea, which is rounded out by this $40 (!) straw bag.
WHITE DRESS // CANVAS BAG ($90!) // BROWN SANDALS // PEARL STUDS ($38!) // INITIAL NECKLACE // HAIR SCARF ($14!)
This canvas and (faux) leather bag is such a great find – it looks like Paravel but is more affordable! It was the base of this entire spring outfit idea, honestly. A friend of mine has this white linen dress and loves it, and I can see why. The classic silhouette and structured linen are both so good, plus it’s nursing-friendly! I’ll take any opportunity I can get to feature Margaux shoes or a HART necklace. The quality of both is really impressive and they’ll last you a long time. I added this hair scarf, that comes in a TON of colors, at the last minute for a pop of color and pattern. The price couldn’t be better!
So many fun items and outfits! It makes me excited for spring!
Thanks for sharing!

I love the first outfit. The pale blue and green feel so springy!
The French wear plenty of patterns! I was just there. Enjoy the floral; it’s gorgeous.
