Wear it with Barrett: 40 Spring Staples under $50

May 14, 2017 By Barrett K

Happy Mother’s Day! Is it just me, or when Spring comes around and we start wearing shorts again, I feel like I need lots of new tops and shorts? Since I like to shop so much, I really like to find affordable items to freshen up my wardrobe! So, I was a Mom on a mission this week! I searched high and low and spent hours gathering up LOTS of Spring staples that are each under $50! I feel really proud of this post because I genuinely love each item I am including and they are all affordable! Please consider that almost every top has other color choices available, so if you like the silhouette, but not the color I picked, please click on the corresponding number to look at the other options.  Each staple has something special about it and they are all on trend right now! It might be a ruffle, a tie in the front, tassels, embroidery or even a cold shoulder.  I hope that you will find some fabulous new tops and some sassy new shorts that you will feel great in! I even found an amazing dress that’s under $50! I was even surprised at the price! I found lots of cute shorts too! I will show you some of my favorites on me and share some fit tips too! So lets dive in to my 40 Spring staples under $50!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

I’ll show you some of my favorites on me! You will have to excuse my hair! It was beyond humid when we took these pictures. =) This top ran a little big, so I would recommend sizing down.  The linen shorts also ran big so size down in them too.  They are so comfy and you could wear these with tons of different tops!

TOP | SHORTS

Love this embroidered tassel tank in blue! So cute with white denim! It comes in other pretty colors too! I did size down in this top.

TANK

This top is so soft and I’m wearing a light purple shade that isn’t on the website for some strange reason! I really want the pink one, but my local store didn’t have it, so I ordered it.  It runs really really big, I would say order one to two sizes down.  This is me in the XS and I am normally a medium.  The tiered bell sleeves are super cute and you can’t beat the price!

TIERED BELL SLEEVE TEE

This fringed lace and knit tee is really cute with all of the fringe on the bottom.  I would recommend sizing down in this one.  It comes in other pretty colors too! Hard to pick my favorite!

FRINGED LACE & KNIT TEE

This flutter sleeve tee is simple and very soft and makes a fantastic Spring staple! Again, available in lots of pretty colors! It runs true to size.  Perfect with the olive linen drawstring shorts that I sized down in.

FLUTTER TEE | LINEN SHORTS

This top is so pretty and can be dressed up or down.  Available in other great colors too! Love the ruffles and the cold shoulder and especially the price!!!

COLD SHOULDER TOP

I am still in shock that this adorable tank dress is under $50! I love how it fits and it would be adorable with a denim jacket in white or denim! The perfect staple dress! I’m wearing the red saucy color and it fits true to size.

TANK DRESS

Now this is a really fancy picture, so brace yourself! I put the sun hat on in the store to show you and it really is so cute! Great for the beach or the pool and it’s under $50!

SUN HAT

On a random note, I found these cool glitter picture frames that I know my boys would love so I had to share them with you guys! Did you see them on my Instagram and Facebook page this week? The smaller square frame is 4×4 and has blue glitter.  When you shake it up, it will look like this! They are really inexpensive too!

4X4 GLITTER BOX FRAME

They also have this one that is a 5×7 and has pink and multi-color glitter.  So fun! They are easy to add a photo to and they are just so cute! Reminds me of those glitter wands that you could turn upside down and watch all of the glitter fall… anybody remember those?

5X7 GLITTER FRAME

Whew! That was a lot of Spring staples under $50! I hope you found lots of new pieces to add to your wardrobe without breaking the bank! Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! Have a great week!

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

We are busy getting ready for spring over here! #ad We found everything we needed at Lowe’s. The Spring Garden Picks collection on Lowes.com was a great starting point. From mulch & fertilizer, garden tools, flowers, planters & decor to blowers & power washers…Lowe’s is a 1 stop shop! Sharing all my finds! Bring on this amazing season!
