If you have a limited budget and limited time but want to look stylish on a daily basis, capsule wardrobes are truly a thing of beauty. As fun as it is to try all of the new looks that come out each season, it isn't so fun on your bank account, but there's a solution: a budget spring capsule wardrobe. If you focus on shopping for affordable, versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched countless times, you'll suddenly have tons of potential outfit combinations at the ready. 

To get you started, we curated a 19-piece wardrobe of easy, on-trend items (from head to toe) that you'll actually want to wear on repeat. The best part is that each outfit adds up to under $150 (or just a bit above—we tried). Included in the mix are simple outfits that would be appropriate for work, travel, warm-weather brunches, nights out, and more. Keep scrolling to see how to put the pieces together and shop them all. The outfit combination possibilities here are endless, and you'll find that many of these pieces pair perfectly with the rest of your wardrobe.
