Spring Checklist: All the Essential Pieces You Need to Update Your Look

By Marisa Swanson

We’re coveting a perfectly pleated skirt to pair with our favorite crisp button up for the office as well as a mini to sport with flat sandals and tanks. We want an update to the black pencil skirt, one that shows a little leg for after-hours cocktails. And while the crop top trend seemed scary at first, we’re delving into it with our high waisted bottoms and skirts. When it comes to mix mastering, we’re definitely going to pair our leather leggings (faux or real) with a pair of vintage-inspired sneakers for the ideal MOD look. But that’s not all…check out the slideshow below to see our picks. From high-end to low, we’ve got your finances in mind as well as our own.
