Spring has already sprung and I'm quickly realizing that my closet is totally unprepared for the warm weather and crop of activities coming up (like my baby shower - woohoo!) So when RetailMeNot challenged me to put together the perfect spring outfit for $100 or less using RetailMeNot coupons, I jumped on the opportunity.

As longtime readers will attest, I've been a huge fan of RetailMeNot.com for ages. It's the first place I look for online coupons, and now it's the first place I look for printables and mobile coupons on my iPhone, too.

On with the Spring Fashion Challenge! I was given a $100 Visa gift card courtesy of RetailMeNot to put together my look. The requirements: Select and purchase at least 3 items (clothing, shoes, purse and/or hat) from 3 separate merchants using coupons you found on RetailMeNot.com.

Here's what I got:

• Kohl's - LC Lauren Conrad denim moto jacket, orig. $68 on sale for $34
  Hi-lo chiffon skirt, orig. $58 on sale for $40.60
  Online coupon: Save 20% On Sitewide Orders + Free Shipping On $75 Or More. Some Exclusions May Apply. Expires 4/24/2013. Code APRILGIFT
  Final price of jacket + skirt: $59.68
  
  


• Target - Mossimo "Patricia" wedge sandal, orig. $29.99
  In-Store coupon: $5 off $29.99 shoe purchase (no actual coupon needed but I found out about the deal via RetailMeNot.com)
  Final price of shoes: $24.99
  
  


• Old Navy - Maternity Jersey Stretch Tank, $12.94
  Online coupon: Take Up to 30% Off Spring Clean Sale Items + An Additional 15% Off Women's, Women's Plus and Maternity + Free Shipping on $50 through 4/24/13 with code ONSAVENOW
  Final price of tank: $11

Kohls: $59.68
Target: $24.99
Old Navy: $11
Total: $95.67

Since I'm 34 weeks pregnant, my spring style is all about feeling comfortable yet feminine. The hi-low skirt I picked out has a girly floral print while the elastic waist band gives me breathing room. I'm also loving lightweight layering pieces like the denim moto jacket that I can wear post-baby, too.
