It’s almost the end of February, and by this point in the year, I’m so over the snow storms and ready for spring. It doesn’t help that I spend so much of my time browsing the latest drops and reporting on trends. It only makes me wish the warmer weather was already here. Although we have several more weeks of winter to go, I’ve decided to get a head start on my spring shopping. I’ve already created a huge wish list and have been adding a ton of cute pieces to my virtual shopping cart. If you’re thinking about what you need to invest in for the upcoming season, keep scrolling for the 10 pieces below that you don’t want to miss.

1. Trench Coat

Trench coats are a must for spring when the mornings and evenings are chilly – and it tends to rain more. I love throwing a trench over anything to elevate an outfit. Lately, I’ve been wanting to try an oversized fit for more of a relaxed, casual vibe.

2. Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are the easiest dress style a girl can own. They strike the right balance of being casual yet dressy, so you can wear them anywhere. I love anything with a cinched or tie waist detail because it makes a shirt dress feel that much more feminine.

3. Sweater Set

If you want to nail that spring transitional look, you need to add some cardigan sets to your closet. The best thing about them is that you can lose the cardigan and style the cami with jeans in the summer.

4. White Dress

Little white dresses were made for the warmer months. You’d be missing out if you didn’t add at least one new style to your wardrobe. I love anything from lace to eyelet to linen and more!

5. Strappy Heels

Minimalist strappy heels are going to dominate this spring. I love that they’re so versatile and can take you from baggy jeans to mini dresses effortlessly. Opt for a mid-heel height so you can get the most comfort out of them.

7. Swimsuit

If you’re shopping for swimsuit cover ups, you should also be adding swimwear to your cart. Underwire cups and knotted details are not only trendy, but super flattering on us petite girls.

8. Tan Sandals

When it comes to nude shoes or accessories, I just can’t quit. I’ve been eyeing these Gucci sandals forever now, and it might be time to bite the bullet since they’re available in the most gorgeous color.

Spring getaways just wouldn’t be the same without a straw tote. They don’t just take a warm weather outfit to another level but are essential for holding your goods at the beach or by the pool.

10. Straight Leg Denim

Baggy jeans are going to be all the rage this season. Since my denim collection mostly comprises of cropped or skinny jeans, I figured it’s time for a refresh. I can’t wait to share more style inspo around this trend!
