Even though Spring technically started back in March, the weather here in Philly can be fickle well into April, and it finally turned here this week! Now that I’m able to start wearing my spring clothes on a regular basis, it’s time to think about what I need to add to complete my wardrobe for the season.
V-Neck Top (S) // Classic Straight Leg Jeans (29)
Gap Factory has quickly become one of my favorite retailers to shop for more budget-friendly fashions, so I was thrilled to see their Surprise Sale in my inbox this morning. Everything is 50% off + 50% off clearance with code GFSTACK, including their new Gauze collection! I styled three easy and affordable everyday looks from the sale for your spring outfit inspiration.
Up first, a classic combination: printed top + white jeans.
This easy outfit formula looks effortlessly polished every time.
The v-neck top is 100% cotton with a flattering v-neck and an easy fit. It looks good either tucked or untucked.
And these classic straight leg jeans in a clean white wash are nice and thick and not at all see-through. They have a good bit of stretch, so they’re comfortable too.
They come in a wide range of sizes, as well as short and long lengths, and I find them to fit true to size. I went with the larger of my two regular sizes, as I typically do in white denim.
I guess blue and white is the theme of this post because I also ended up ordering this easy breezy v-neck dress in the blue and white stripe.
V-Neck Dress (S)
I already have the black one, which I styled in this post, and I thought the blue and white might be a nice option for our Italy trip this summer because it’s lighter and doesn’t look like anything else I have in my closet.
It’s made of a smooth rayon weave, and has short sleeves with folded cuffs and front slash pockets. This dress pairs perfectly with white sneakers or flat sandals.
Finally, gauzy fabrics are trending this season, and this flutter sleeve top is a great way to top off your favorite denim for spring.
V-Neck Flutter Sleeve Top (S) // Mid-Rise Bootcut Jeans (29)
The material is really soft and comfortable, and it’s thick enough that you don’t need a cami underneath. It also comes in a pretty coral, as well as a plaid and a floral print.
I’ve shared these bootcut jeans before, and they’re the perfect pairing with this top. I love the subtle nod to boho style.
They’re the perfect light wash to take you into spring and summer, and the fit and feel is truly impressive for this price point. They’re true to size; I went with the 29, but they do stretch a bit, so I probably could wear the 28.
This sale runs through 4/18, and you can shop these and more of my favorites from the Gap Factory Surprise Sale below.

Love the GAP blue stripe dress. At 5’3” about 120lbs wound I take CS or SM like you. Is it roomy and also with the Rayon does it wrinkle easy. I’d like to order it but Rayon can be a pain to have to iron or steam. Thanks.
Ops meant XS not CS.
The dress will be good for Italy. Looks cute on you. Youthful but not girly girly.( I used to be girly girly in my style till I got older.)I have the two belts you showed. I like them a lot. I couldn’t decide which color so I got both. I’m going to check the link and see what I can find.
Ordered the blue stripe dress in CS. Hoping it fits. :). They are sold out of XS in blouse or would have ordered that too. Thanks for post.
Earlier this week, the olive green utility pants that I ordered from Gap Factory came in. I wore them today and loved them! It was fun to wear something other than jeans for a change!
