28 Apr Thrifty Threads: Spring Essentials You Can Wear for Months to Come

It’s rare I find a piece I have to have. Like, absolutely need in my life and closet. That feeling came over me a few weeks ago. I ran to Century 21 to find what I knew would be the perfect addition to my spring wardrobe.

If you’re looking for a nice finishing touch for your spring style, then keep reading. Oh, and I also have a giveaway for you!

Let’s rewind to about two weeks ago. I saw a Today Show segment where my fellow budget fashion lover, Lilliana of the LV Guide, featured a cold shoulder vest from Century 21. Exposed shoulders are so on trend right now and I knew this was a must. No exaggeration, hours after the segment aired I was at Century 21 and was lucky enough to find this beauty.

She’s the perfect compliment to this Express off the shoulder ribbed dress. Again, off the shoulder is everywhere! I can easily wear this from now until fall and with everything from heels to flats to sneakers. There’s really nothing better than fun spring dresses you know you’ll get serious wear out of! And because the color is neutral, it can be worn with anything.

This is a fairly simple look but the details really make it pop and I added a few accessories to spice it up, mainly my colorful, metallic heels {last seen here, worn with vintage trousers}.

And a few dainty accessories top it all off. Besides being obsessed with rings lately, I’m all about bangles. So when PEOPLE Shop {yes, PEOPLE magazine has an online shop!} sent over a cute bracelet, I was all for it. Besides being adorable, the SOKO People x Pencils of Promise V Cuff supports Pencils of Promise, an organization that creates schools and programs, with the mission to make education accessible for all!
