The same thing happens each year without fail: Spring rolls around, and suddenly, I need a brand-new wardrobe. I emerge from all the layers and sweaters of winter ready for a complete closet refresh, and I'm happily greeted by the latest spring trends. 

Don't get me wrong. Reuniting with warm-weather clothes and shopping your own closet is great (there's nothing like an "Ah, I forgot I had this!" moment), but spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your closet. This spring is bursting with must-try styles, from miniskirts and cutouts to hot pants and trousers. 

Seeing as my wallet is not as welcoming to the new season, I've become an expert at refreshing my closet without depleting my bank account. So when my friend told me she has $100 to spend on spring clothes, I rounded up the styles I've been eyeing this season. I gave her a bunch of options at different price points so she can get a few pieces and stay within her budget or invest in just one for around $100. Ahead, you'll find the pieces I'm suggesting for her wardrobe wake-up.
