I love Madewell's casual, high-quality pieces - they always look so effortlessly chic. Though some of their prices might be on the high end of a college girl's budget, that doesn't mean you can't be inspired by their impeccably stylish duds!

I particularly love Madewell's new spring lookbook, which is full of casual-chic looks for the transitioning weather. If you need some inspiration to spice up your spring wardrobe, read on for three outfit ideas inspired by Madewell's latest lookbook:

Outfit #1

This look is perfect for a warm afternoon spent strolling the boardwalk or enjoying a picnic at the park. Pair a navy graphic tee with denim shorts, then slip on a pair of cute striped d'orsay flats. Pick a summery brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun, plus a pastel satchel to carry your essentials. Accessorize with gold rings and a simple gold bracelet.

Outfit #2

This is the perfect easy, low-key ensemble for a day of classes or running errands. Slip on a basic white tee and a pair of powder-pink pants - make sure to cuff the jeans at the ankle to really capture that Madewell look. Opt for comfy and cute slip-on sneakers, like this pair from ASOS. Lastly, keep your jewelry unique yet simple with a woven bracelet and geometric pendant necklace.

Outfit #3

For an eclectic look, pair a breezy summer dress with lace-up sneakers. If it's a bit chilly, layer on a preppy varsity cardigan (but if it's warm out, just tie it around your waist, like the model in the photo above). Jazz up the ensemble with a pendant necklace, an envelope clutch, and neutral nail polish, and you'll be ready for the day.
