My boyfriend and I just got our first apartment together, and my wallet has definitely felt the punch from our furniture-buying frenzy. However, spring is approaching, and I'm struggling to fight my urge to spend what's left of my money on clothes—whoops. I've decided to be smart about my spending and focus on buying the type of pieces I can wear again and again without getting tired of them. Free People's latest collection of convertible pieces is just the thing. Now I'm deciding between maxi skirts that can also be worn as midi dresses, tanks with straps that can be twisted this way and that, and matching sets that go from tube tops to bandana-style. (And because I'm me, I may be eyeing a few other pieces from the site's cute selection of spring items.) Keep scrolling to shop the versatile pieces I'm now declaring essentials for spring.
