TGIF! And happy first day of SPRING (officially). This glorious weather we are having in Dallas is matching the spring mood. Just a reminder that Easter is only two weeks away. Let’s talk spring looks on the high end and the low end. Who doesn’t love a gorgeous designer piece? I’d wear couture and carry designer bags every day if I could, but obviously that’s not an option. I’m sharing a couple of designer pieces to splurge on, and a couple of similar pieces that are a steal. The SPLURGE vs STEAL post is always one of your favorites.

Splurge vs Steal
A popular style this spring is a tailored top. The style is more fitted at the waist, making it super chic and flattering. It’s a great piece that you can easily dress up or down. One that I am loving this season is this denim tailored eyelet top. If you are looking for something more affordable, this tailored denim vest is a chic and similar alternative for under $60. The sleeveless style makes it the perfect top for both spring and summer!
To create a chic monochromatic look, you need a chic denim trouser. I would pair the top with these wide leg denim pants or these pleated denim pants for a more affordable option. A denim top also goes well with white jeans, especially for a summer look. If you’re looking for a more elevated-professional look, pair your look with a pump like these embossed croc slingback pumps. I am in love with the gold hardware detail. For something less expensive but almost identical, these embossed slingback pumps are perfect for an option without blowing the budget. I also love this nude version or this mesh version under $100 for a fresh spring or summer shoe.
If you’re searching for some accessories, this raffia shoulder bag is beautiful. It’s the perfect warm weather bag. If you want to try it out for a lower price, get this very similar raffia shoulder bag for under $60. Finish off your look with earrings, a watch, sunglasses and pink lipstick for the awe factor. For a cheaper version, these earrings, watch, sunglasses and lipstick are great alternatives. You can find more of my dreamy splurge versus steal favorites below. I tend to splurge on designer handbags, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses, and outerwear. If you buy quality, classic pieces, they will never go out of style.
Happy weekend! I’m grateful for you and your support. Thanks for stopping by.

So many beautiful midi dresses. I would be sweeping the floor. What is a short girl to do?
Hi Tanya, glad you’re safe, I’m with Linda I’m 5’4 midi length comes down too long on me. Please post sometime daytime casual dresses. In late spring to early fall I mostly wear dresses in Scottsdale bc it’s so hot. Love these dresses but I’m a more tailored gal.
Well, you can always get them altered. And many of them come in petite sizing.
Hope that helps!

I would splurge on handbags and shoes. However, that pink gown makes me what to change my mind.
Barbara,
Handbags are a great thing to splurge on! They are an investment and will last forever.

I have to splurge on handbags. The ultimate is always a Chanel flap bag….I especially love the 2.55.
Ashley,
So true! Chanel is timeless.

Swooning over the beautiful pink gown – wow, that would make a statement!
Thanks Kelley!

Such a helpful post! Thank you.
If you could only invest in one designer bag, which one would it be and what color?
Oh gosh, that is such a hard question Julie.
I think a nude YSL bag or black Chanel will always be classic!
