Not headin’ out of town for spring break? We hear ya. But we’re still obsessed with warm-weather clothes that look vacay-inspired. Bright colors, laidback prints and h-o-t shades are cool scores, even if your excursions are just to the mall.
Keep reading to peep our pretty break picks!
Destination: Laidback style. A tank with a beachy locale screams getaway. It’s cute with distressed jeans and gladiator sandals. Still chilly? Add a cocoon sweater and a light scarf.
We stock up on cheapie flips at the beginning of spring. A printed pair is totally trendy and adds subtle pop to your outfits. Right now, we’re only wearing ’em while our pedis dry—there’s still snow on the ground here!
This season’s jewelry forecast: Bold, bright and colorful. Mediterranean-inspired bracelets add a jet-setter twist to any outfit. Layer ‘em on for a look that’s post-card perfect.
This bag might be a little beachy for spring, but it’ll hold all your musts for a day at the Y or all those sleepover toiletries. Come summer, it’s perf poolside or at the shore.
It’s not a real Spring Break without some funky shades. Try a pair of stunnas with a fun print. These floral ones just radiate a retro vibe, plus they keep the sun out of your eyes.

Say good-bye to bulky coats and triple layers. March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, so battle the transition from one season to the next with style by throwing on a jacket.
You’ll be staying warm and you’ll look fab doin’ it.
Whether you are trying to dress down a tunic or take a frock from cute to hip, a jean jacket accessorizes almost any outfit. Just don't pair with same-color pants.
Don’t get drenched. Any twist on the mid-length trench coat looks classic, and keeps ya dry. You’ll be super chic, even on the grayest of days.
Roll up the sleeves on a cute, cropped blazer for an everyday preppy look. Pair it with a dress or jeans and a flirty top for a total class act.
The tweed style that Chanel made famous is the perf option for any gal trying to play up her feminine side. Boxy blazers look best with jeans and classic pearls.
Calling all fashionistas. A cropped, loose
jacket dresses up an outfit, from your fave skinnies to a laidback
dress. Fab for when you want a cute, retro feel.
