Ah, spring. The time of year where temps aren't as intense as summer, but the dreary winter days are gone. The season's only a few weeks old and it's time to stock up on wardrobe essentials. Whether you want to completely revamp your look or just purchase some add-ons for your fly closet, you can do so with picks all under $100.Bright Jeans: The thought of wearing bold hued denim is a bit scary for some but if you dare, try out the trend with a neutral top and pumps for a night out or simple flats for a day with the girls.

I wasn't able to make the Housing Works $20 sale, partially because I overslept {doh!} but also because I had a sizable thrifting haul a few days before. If you follow me on Twitter, you already saw a few Twitpics. It had been way too long since I'd made a trip to the Goodwill Outlet and I'm so glad I went.If you're new to Living Fly on a Dime, the Outlet I go to is in Long Island City and clothing is priced by the pound. $1.69 per pound to be exact. See if there's a Goodwill Outlet in your area.I walked away with 16 pieces for $15.21 price, which averages out to less than $1 per item. I found some really great, colorful pieces to add to my wardrobe, including an Angora sweater from Express, Nicole Miller top with an embellished neckline, Topshop vest and more.Check out some of my favorite picks as well as a tip for thrift shopping when the weather's bad.
