Textured Details for Spring 2023
Texture is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your look for Spring. Think more grown-up versions of your favorite bohemian classics – frayed edges replace fringe, soft knits update your crochet or macrame. But these high-end details don’t have to be expensive. I love these options affordable options from Macy’s and Mango that will help you get the look for less. Style these with everything from flowy dresses to cropped wide leg trousers.
Mesh Dresses for Spring
Maybe it’s the Ozempic effect or the Tiktok drama that exploding over a certain celebrity and her new mesh dress line, but body con dresses are back in full force. Performance mesh and a midi length helps keep the look classy, but if tight isn’t your thing don’t worry. You can rock the mesh trend in looser, T-shirt style silhouettes as well. This trend is one that will go in and out so shop it with caution and stay on budget.
Lace Details Fashion Trend for Spring
Does lace ever really go out of style? In my opinion absolutely not! It is always classic, sexy but still subtle. This season the feminine detail is popping up in trim, but also all over dresses, blouses and more. Embrace the soft feminine vibe and play with different colors to take your look from extra sultry to unexpected.
Robin’s Egg Blue Color Trend for Spring
Pastels are an obvious choice for Spring, but this season it’s color is an unusual one. Robin’s egg blue is a soft shade found – you guessed it – in robin’s eggs! The soft greenish blue is most flattering on cool skin tones, and it pairs beautifully with contrasting hues like pink and orange.
Metallic Trend for Spring
You typically see metallics more in the Fall/Winter collections, but there is a fresh wave of shimmering pieces transforming the trend for Spring. And the trend isn’t just for evenings – sequined pencil skirts that go from the office to cocktails and jumpsuits with a Studio 54 vibe that work just as well with heels and they do with sneakers.
Oversized Denim Trend for Spring
It seems the grip skinny jeans had on us is over! Slouchy-fit trousers were one of the biggest trends of 2022 and the look continues into the new year, though with slightly more relaxed silhouettes. Keep the colors classic and avoid rips or distressing, to avoid taking the look from chic to sloppy.
3D Flowers and Floral Embellishments for Spring
Yes, we all know – florals for spring. But the 2023 version brings new life to a stale old trope. Large 3D floral embellishments have taken over the runway, and the looks range from surrealist to ethereal. Wear them on everything from jackets to jewelry.

Summer Fashion Trends You Can Actually Afford
The nap dress
The nap dress is a trend that I hope never dies! They are soft and ethereal, yet glam in an easy relaxed way. It’s no wonder they rose in popularity in 2021 – when we suddenly started going out again they were an easy transition from our sweats and pajamas. I love them in pretty much any variety, but here are a few of my affordable favorites.
Anything Linen
Linen and summer go hand in hand. It is lightweight, breezy, and always gives understated casual cool. And it’s one of those trends that will never go out of style. Have fun playing with brightly colored linen pieces, or stick to the classic neutral palette. Either way you can’t go wrong.
Fruit prints
Florals have been done time and time again, but summer 2022 is more about a new groundbreaking print family – fruit! Cherries, berries, oranges and more are popping up everywhere and make the perfect fun, unexpected touch. From cutesy dresses to business casual blouses, there is a fruit print for every occasion. Shop my favorites of the season below.
High Waisted Swimwear
Swim trends take a throwback vibe this season, and personally I’m overjoyed! High waisted bikinis and 50’s inspired silhouettes are incredibly flattering on most body types, and even though trends wax and wane, you know the look will always come back in style.
Dramatic White Tops
From puffy pirate sleeves to well-placed cutouts and odd silhouettes - dramatic white blouses are one of the hottest trends this summer. I honestly cannot get enough of them, and definitely plan on adding a few more to my collection. Below are just a few of my favorite styles for you to get the look on a budget.
Elevated Flat Sandals
I personally still haven’t got back into the habit of regularly wearing heels, and I don’t see it on the horizon this year either! And judging from the rise in variety and style of flat sandals, most of you are with me on that front.
Even the most basic styles have been elevated this season - more details, embellishments and classy, dressy vibe. Her are some of my favorite elevated flat sandals that will take you anywhere you need to go this summer.
Dainty, Pile It On Gold Jewelry
I have fallen in love with delicate gold jewelry! The look is so chic and understated, and even when the gems are fake, it still gives expensive and elegant.
Now obviously since this is a budget-friendly post, all my picks will be fashion jewelry - not real gold! But if you want the cool girl trendy look of stacks of dainty gold gems, here are some affordable ways to get it. And if you are ready to splurge a little, you can shop some real gold jewelry from shops like Catbird, Melanie Marie, and Mejuri.
