    Promising review: "I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another midsized girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely.

    "You guys... these are seriously the most amazing leggings ever. They looked so small coming out of the package, but the stretch is [awesome]. They fit like a glove! I know people say that, but I mean seriously, like a glove. No wrinkling around the knees, no camel toe, and they stay up around the waist when moving around and bending (Which is my biggest issue with other leather-look leggings). They look so smooth and shiny on. And they’re SO SOFT. They feel like when you put soft pajama pants on right after shaving and exfoliating. They’re like butter. My mind honestly is having trouble processing how amazing and structured they look with how amazing they feel...The minute I put them on I ordered a second pair."  —Amazon Customer

    Promising reviews: "Super cute Dior Saddle Bag dupe. Very high quality. I get compliments all the time on it." —Katie

    "The material is nice and doesn’t feel cheap. It is smaller than I thought and an odd shape, so you can’t fit your typical wallet. I use my card holder wallet for it instead." —Ciara

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five colors).

    22. An oversized organza scrunchie because it's the perfect romance-inspired, pretty pastel finishing touch to any outfit. Because of it's size, it'll ~definitely~ be able to securely hold those with thick luscious locks, whether you have beautiful curls or braids.

    Promising review: "I have this in four colors. It’s a nice thick weave and it hasn’t fallen apart. I purchased my first one over a year and a half ago, I wore it almost every day for like six months and it’s still in perfect condition. No problems with machine washing and it’s not itchy or anything. The only thing is that it would probably only fit up to a large. Overall, worth the money." —erin

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in one size and eight colors).

    24. A pair of high-waisted fun print pants that'll brighten up your closet even more than it already is! Pair this with a bold top for a real pop of color.

    Promising review: "Everyone loved these pants (and I do too!!) I got SO many compliments on them!! I have a larger butt but with a smaller overall body, so I was a bit hesitant ordering a size small, but they ending up fitting nicely. I definitely plan on ordering more of these pants in different patterns soon!" —Kaitlyn Campshure

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XXS–4X and in 42 patterns).

    Promising review: "LOVE! The colors are vibrant and light enough to be cool during the summer and heavy enough to where it doesn't feel cheap. I love the slit it has in the side because it gives it a different look. I am 5'9 and it is right above my knees. For the price I am shocked as to how beautiful they are. I agree with everyone else to buy a size up. The length will not change but can be a bit tighter in the shoulder area." —Andrea

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S—5X and 35 prints/styles).

    27. A longline premium wool coat so you'll be chic *and* warm on those extra colder evenings. And the color options (fuchsia and blue) are as bold as it gets.

    Promising review: "I really doubted that this one size fits all tight would actually accommodate my 5'6" 165 lb body, but I was wrong.

    Promising review: "I bought this dress for a wedding, and in usual internet-fashion panic, I bought it a size larger, since I could fix it if it was too large... Not only did it fit beautifully, I realized that since the bodice was structured like a corset, I should have just bought [my usual size] so it could hold breasts properly...It's made with great material, the whole thing fits and feels like a dream, and isn't heavy at all. It looked amazing out of the box, and was worth every cent I paid. Definitely buying another dress from this seller." —Vivian Nguyen
