At the beginning of any new season, I always get a bit overexcited to try so many new trends and updated pieces. Then, I reign it in for my wallet’s sake, and edit my shopping list down to fewer pieces that are both unexpected yet versatile. The must haves for spring that are at the top of my list are below, plus the best finds I’ve found on my hunt so far. Happy shopping!

1. the denim jumpsuit

Consider it your perfect wear-everywhere piece. Dress it up with booties and a pair of statement earrings, or keep it casual with sneakers on the weekend.

2. the belt bag

I truly never thought I’d see the day that we are disguising the fanny pack with a fancy new moniker, and bringing it back in a major way. Never say never, people.

3. the western boot

This is the number one item on my list at the moment, and would wear them with everything from jeans to little floral dresses. I love the nod to my Southern roots, but I’m having trouble landing on the perfect pair. I’m torn between the silver and red options below. What’s a girl to do?

4. something purple

This is a color I can confidently say I’ve never worn, but this season’s crop of pretty lilac pieces have totally made a convert out of me.

5. the coordinating set

I’m absolutely obsessed with matching sets for the warm weather months. From chic floral prints to crisp polka dots and stripes, there are so many chic options.
