Cushion cover Bring spring indoors with this turquoise velvet cushion cover, embellished with a super-cute pom-pom trim. $10 (from $20), H&M.

Dress Throw this dress on for a super-comfortable (yet totally dressy) look. It has long sleeves that are light enough for spring, and a fun dot pattern. $95 (from $160), Banana Republic.

Tee T-shirts are great, but they're even better when they look a bit dressy (while still maintaining their comfort). This one is made from a jersey-knit material and has flutter sleeves. $25 (from $40), Gap.

Table lamp The best thing about this table lamp, aside from its teal shade? Its textured metal base, which will instantly add style to any room. $59 (from $75), Pier 1.
