Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
March is that awkward month in New York when it still feels like winter, but every store window and online shop is flooded with new spring items practically calling out my name. Since warm weather still appears to be quite far away, I'm holding off on making any big-ticket purchases for now. However, that doesn't mean I won't pick up just a few affordable items in the meantime to keep the dream of an above-70-degree day alive. And by affordable, I'm talking under $50, which means these 25 picks are as guilt-free as it gets.
Leave it to Free People to make the cutest affordable cardigan. It also comes in black and white, but I'm drawn to this rust shade at the moment.
I'm buying this hair scrunchie simply because the colors make me happy. I've got my eye on the matching dress as well.
Midi-skirt weather is so close I can almost taste it.
This lightweight crochet top is perfect for any warm-weather getaway.
There's never a bad time to buy gold jewelry to wear with everyday outfits.
This easy cotton dress can be styled with everything from sneakers to over-the-knee boots.
Nearly everyone at Who What Wear owns this affordable sweater, and I'm currently into this periwinkle shade.
I just bought this, and it's the best $14 dollars I've spent in awhile (as seen above).
Any top with puffy sleeves immediately gets my attention.
I rarely can wear white shoes for more than one or two seasons before they get too dirty, so I'm only buying inexpensive ones for spring.
Short-sleeve floral dresses always make it onto my spring wish list, and this is the first affordable option I'm eyeing.
A knotted headband always makes a look feel that much more pulled-together.
Reformation makes the best affordable basics, as proven by this square-neck ribbed tank.
The 2020 update to the leopard midi skirt.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as having too many T-shirts. I'll wear this one with white jeans or trousers.
Baseball caps are one of the most wearable trends for spring, and this tie-dye one is definitely my style.
I'll wear this polka-dot tank with black straight-leg jeans for the perfect going-out outfit.
I used to be a gold-jewelry-only type of girl, but lately, I'm gravitating toward silver hardware. This necklace is a good place to start.
For when I get bored of my go-to white T-shirt.
These slides are easy to throw on with just about anything.
This lightweight blazer is the perfect layering piece for this in-between weather.
I own this tank in black and get so many compliments on it, so it only makes sense I pick up a white one for spring.
This straw clutch makes me want to book a beach vacation stat.
It's really hard for me to believe this floral dress is only $20. I bet it sells out by next month.
These sunglasses look 10 times their price.
