Since spring is so hit or miss in upstate NY, this outfit reflects the need to stay a little warmer (not too warm, because I sweat while running errands) but also account for the sun shining :)

So even though this total still looks pretty pricey, look at the staple items that are investments; the watch, purse, and sunglasses. These are things that I can wear all the time and honestly, have lasted me SO long. The other items.. the actual "outfit" didn't cost me that much at all!
When I'm shopping, I usually only splurge on accessories, like the ones pictured above. I know I'm going to get mucho wear out of them and that they will last forever.
Still, not too shabby if you look at the total price from the Polyvore look above!
