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

  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.

Want to see the amazing looks that my competition fellow savvy fashion bloggers put together? Of course you do! See all the under-$100 spring outfits over at the Spring Fashion Challenge article on The Real Deal by RetailMeNot.

Mother's Day is coming up and since I'm expecting my first baby this June, the holiday will have an extra special meaning for me. And thanks to Chaps, I have my outfit all picked out - a twist-front mock layer dress in the happiest shade of pool blue that fits my growing bump. This dress fits all my fashion needs, and whether you're expecting or not, I'm sure you'll be on board with this list: It's affordable (check), machine washable (check), made from substantial fabric that won't wrinkle and drapes well (check and check), has a flattering cut with a modesty piece built into the bodice (check), and a knot detail that makes room for baby bumps now and hides problem areas later - check! This week's warm temps are reason enough to celebrate, so I paired my Chaps dress with some animal-print heels and a lavender cardigan for a cheerful look that says spring is here!
