Spring is here and with it, the pressure to look good at school and college is even more intense! You must have tucked in all those thick jackets and chunky sweaters, embracing the warm, colorful season with fresh new clothes and accessories. But wait, is that your wallet staring at you from a corner, reminding you that you only have $60 left after the fun and frolicking during the spring break?
Well, in Renee’s budget-friendly world, that’s quite a lot to spend on a nice, complete wardrobe! Let’s walk you through a selection of awesome spring wardrobe essentials to last you an entire season…well within $60!
1. Tee shirt – $5.99
Any student’s wardrobe is just incomplete without a great tee that can work well in any setting, be it a classroom or a casual lunch out with friends. This prized piece from Old Navy fits the description well, with printed stripes and slight sequins embellishments at the front. For $6, it’s definitely a great buy.
2. Party top – $9.50
No wardrobe is complete without something fancy that can work for a relatively formal setting. This top from Delia’s is a great pick at $9.50, with lace raglan sleeves making it a bit dressier than your usual tees. So be it a party at a friend’s house, or some dancing with girlfriends at a club, don it on, put on some lovely makeup, and you’d be good to go.
3. Jeans – $10.8
Over what are you going to wear these lovely tops? It’s easy, a perfect pair of jeans! These classic skinny jeans from Forever 21 are literally a steal at $11. The fit is great, the color is neutral so it can work with almost anything, and they just look so sleek and good!
4. Sun glasses – $5
Spring without sunglasses is just incomplete. And as I say, sunglasses can completely glam up anyone out there, no matter what they wear. Check out this pair from Go Jane, studded towards the top. A neural black color means you can wear them on any occasion, the pyramid studs add the X-factor any college student really needs!
5. Skirt – $5.80
Any girl’s wardrobe really needs a well-fitting skirt, especially if that girl’s going to college! This bodycon mini skirt from Forever 21 is not only comfortable, but also fits your figure marvelously. Available in royal blue, teal, orange and aqua colors, you can pick a shade that will work best with the tops you have.
6. Jewelry- $5.60
If there’s one staple piece of jewelry that can go with almost anything, it’s a great pair of studs and a necklace. These rhinestoned cross studs in gold, and the bow charm necklace do not only look great, but are fancy enough to make you feel dressy, and yet not too gaudy to make you feel overdressed. Choose from a selection of colors as per your taste.
