One of the many, many things we love about J.Crew is that every few weeks, the brand offers an extra 30 percent off all online sale items. Until tomorrow evening at 11:59 pm, shoppers will receive the additional markdown with the code MUSTHAVE.

There's plenty of leftover winter wear, but also tons of spring-appropriate buys. In fact, we found five discounted pieces that easily transition into any wardrobe. (And they total less than $500.)

Scroll down to see our top selections and then click through the slideshow below for outfit and styling ideas.

The pieces:

Café capri in waterfloral, $99 on sale but $69.30 with promo code; Italian leather stud belt, $39.99 on sale but $27.99 with promo code; Nili Lotan® open-stitch sweater, $309.99 on sale but $216.99 with promo code; Biella loafers, $129.99 on sale but $90.99 with promo code; Matchstick jean in white denim, $78 on sale but $54.60 with promo code

Keep it casual without the belt or opt for a crisper look by adding the waist-cincher. The dress will also look cute with any Converse or Keds you already own.
