I hate consumerism, but I can’t help myself. I’m just a girl. These are the 4 accessories you need this spring that actually make sense. I feel like trendy items are a waste of money, so I try to buy things I can wear for years, not just this spring but next year’s spring and the following one after that. That doesn’t mean I don’t fall victim to trendy items. I’m guilty of that as well.
I know what you’re thinking, “I can do without.” I thought the same thing, and for years, I didn’t have any accessories to go with my outfits, so my style suffered. I always wondered why I couldn’t put an outfit together like the rest of the women I saw, and it’s clear as day now. Accessories are a girl’s best friend.
I always found the excuse on why NOT to buy the bag or the shoes, because I was trying to be frugal or not get caught up in consumerism, but you know what? You deserve it. “Girl math,” says these accessories are actually free, haha. If you buy with intention, it all makes sense.
So, what do we need this spring? Don’t worry, I got you. Here are 4 accessories you need this spring.
You will always need a sun hat. I found a few that I liked, but ultimately, they needed to be functional. What’s important in a sun hat? For me, it has to hold its shape, keep the sun out of my face, and it has to look good. I found the perfect one from Lack of Color called Paloma Sun Straw Hat.
I know, I know, it looks fabulous. You can definitely see yourself having a moment with this hat. Whether it’s sipping mimosas at brunch with the girls or sitting beachside with a good book. Here are two casual options that are more a grab and go if that’s more you.
You’re going to need sunglasses. So many styles, but we need a pair that’s timeless, stylish, and functional. So, let’s get picky. Our first pick meets those standards. Coach’s Women’s Square 56mm Sunglasses.
I mean, who doesn’t want a Jackie O. moment? These are my favorite, just a classic look that you can wear anywhere. Here is another option that gives the same vibe, and, in my opinion, a bit more dramatic, if that’s your thing.
Now, what is the perfect footwear for spring? I guess that depends on who you’re asking. I know a staple the past few years has been the slide sandals, but just for a second, let’s think outside the box. Let’s think functional and fashionable. Now, keep an open mind. Rothy’s Boat Shoe.
I think these are really going to surprise you. They are really classic and timeless shoes. They are super versatile, and they come in five colors. But if you have to have a classic sandal that is versatile and comfortable, you can’t go wrong with these vintage-inspired gladiator sandals by Sam Edelman. And, of course, you have to have a sexy sandal for the warm days ahead, so here’s a heeled sandal that will age well: the Schutz Bari leather sandal. I would get all three because I have no self-control.
You will need a bag. Always buy a bag that will last you a very long time, will never go out of style, and is functional. When a bag checks all three, sometimes the price tag is worth it, sometimes. Here are three bags that, in my opinion, are worth it. The Cole Haan Celenea Saddle Bag, Kate Spade New York
Knott Pebbled Leather Medium Crossbody Hobo Bag, COACH Swing Zip Buckle Detail Satchel Bag.
And those ladies are the 4 accessories you need this spring. It will set you up with multiple outfits and style ideas. Don’t let anything stop you from buying something that will make you happy. Sometimes, materialistic things can bring us a little more joy than we would like to admit, and I don’t know who told us that was wrong. I love you. Bye.
