Like most people, I rely on my best friends for fashion advice. I have a seven-person group chat filled with girlfriends I've stayed in touch with from high school, to my study abroad, and all the way to professional life. While we're scattered around the country now, we all find a way to stay in touch via our rambling late-night messages—mostly, I'll admit, for recommendations on where to shop.
Naturally, as the fashion editor friend, I bear the brunt of the work, but after spending three hours sharing links back and forth since we have an upcoming girls' trip and wedding we're all meeting up IRL for, our shopping expertise has leveled up. From can't-miss spring trends to affordable, yet chic jewelry pieces, we've rounded up all the $75-and-under pieces you absolutely need to add to your cart this spring.
