    31 Cheap And Easy Ways To Feel More Dressed Up

    Drop the see-through leggings...just until tonight. I promise they'll be there when you get home.

    1. Tell your cubic zirconia studs to feel free to take the day off and rock these statement ear jackets that have the ability to take any plain tee from 1 to 100 in a moment.

    2. Time 👏 for 👏 nails 👏. Dress up your plain mani with decal stickers for custom nail art you’ll be admiring for the next week. “Thanks, I did these myself.” -you telling everyone, even though they didn't ask and most certainly do not care.

    3. Nix sagging jeans AND outfit boredom with a fun statement belt, here to keep your high-waisted denim in place all while adding a pop of western-inspired metal.

    4. Is your hair dirty? Sure! Fine! But if you throw it up in a ponytail and tie it up with this patterned scarf, the world will remain oblivious to the last time you showered.

    5. Avoid expensive trips to the cleaners and banish wrinkles to the pits of HECK with this Downy wrinkle release spray. Not only will it make that white tee look 1000x more crisp, it also eliminates odor if you've just sourced said shirt from the bottom of your hamper. (Which I never do hahahahahha.)

    6. Fancy up your T-shirt dress or denim shorts with a pair of sparkly fishnet tights (or just plain ones). They'll be sure to get you at least one trillion compliments today. Seriously, at least.

    7. My word, there’s nothing like the power of a red lip — so glide on this lightweight Revlon lipstick when you're in need of a quick pick-me-up! It's the perfect shade of red, has a staying power of now until eternity, and (thanks to a harmonious blend of avocado oil + vitamin e) it also won't dry out your pout.

    8. Little black dresses are important, but little black booties are even more important. This block heel pair (from the Christian Siriano for Payless collection) can be styled with any ensemble to give off the impression that yes, you DID try this morning.

    9. Don your favorite blouse or basic tee and pair it with a patterned midi skirt (I know I know, you’ll miss your usual leggings or denim combo) for some prime twirling action. Optional but highly recommended: take that twirl and boomerang it for the 'gram.

    10. Hide a bad hair day (and look trendier than thou) with this adorable straw fedora hat. Will everyone be asking where you bought this? Absolutely, so prepare to say "Amazon" at least 900 times when you wear it.

    11. Your hunt for the PERFCT going out top is now finished because I’ve found it for you: the perfect black cami. This is what you’ll be throwing on at 11:08 when you told your friends you’d meet them at the bar by 10:30.

    12. Take yourself from bedtime ready to professional chic by layering this removable collar under any comfy old sweater. So simple, so transformative, and the gorgeous embellishments give you just a hint of sparkle.

    13. Put down the jeans and quickly throw on a maxi dress instead. This floral one is *particularly* lovely because it reminds you that winter is gone, flowers are blooming, and nothing — NOTHING — screams springtime happiness quite like a maxi dress can.

    14. Retire your normal black leggings (just for the day...I promise) and swap for some leather options instead. Pair 'em with heels, a breezy blouse, and you’ll be ready for that caviar dinner date within seconds.

    15. Add a chunky bib necklace to even the plainest of outfits. The result? You'll look as if you just walked straight off the Instagram page of your favorite fashion blogger. A true miracle = the power of a good accessory.

    16. Wake up with ready-to-go hair by sleeping in these flexible curling rods, which are pros at giving you the perfect waves...without subjecting your 'do to any more heat damage. My burnt split-ends are already feeling grateful.

    17. Make an old sweater look like new with a Conair fabric defuzzer, here to get rid of accumulated lint and pilling. Have you already washed and worn this top 98 times? The world will never ever know because it now looks brand new.

    18. Apply this two-in-one Revlon liquid shadow for a fantastic dose of ✨ sparkle ✨. We all added glitter glue to our middle school presentations, so why not continue the tradition by infusing glitter into our beauty routines? Right?! RIGHT?!

    19. Plain black leggings? Your old high school gym tee? Fancy it up by way of a structured knit blazer, here to make it look like you put actual effort into your appearance this morning. Snooze? Never heard of it.

    20. The time has come to take your white kicks and give them a good scrub-a-dub-dub. This shoe cleaning kit will take even your saddest sneakers from grossly dirty to brand spanking new with just a few seconds of gentle polishing!

    21. ~Branch out~ by way of this fancy hair pin set that can be easily added to any hairstyle, whether a messy bun or the fanciest of updos.

    22. Give your denim shorts a break and opt for this simple t-shirt dress instead. It’s comfy, simple, and can be worn with ANYTHING from your highest heel to your oldest pair of (very dirty) gym shoes. Remember, folks, versatility is our friend.

    23. Give yourself a ~timeless~ look by slapping on this gorgeous wristwatch. I truly don't know anyone who's ever looked disheveled while wearing a watch and I can't be the only one.

    24. Add some color to the mix with a Stella and Max crossbody bag. If you’re wearing your usual mix of black, black, and more black, this is an easy way to get a new hue in your look without forking over a ton of cash.

    25. Slip on these cat eye mirrored sunglasses, which are comparable in quality to sunnies from MUCH pricier brands. Good quality accessories for a price that doesn't make me wheeze = pure bliss.

    26. Use an eyeliner stamp to achieve the perfect wing in mere moments. Your peepers will look super defined and *gasp* the liner will actually look the same on both sides. A miracle, I know.

    27. Wear some business pants, you young professional! These wide leg options are perfect for looking office-appropriate while *still* remaining true to your trendy self.

    28. Trade in your kicks for a pair of heels! These d'orsay pumps are here to easily dress up your look but thankfully *won't* make your feet ache...because comfort > everything.

    29. Clip your hair back with this seashell claw clip, here to remind you that summer is oh so close. **takes deep breath** **smells sea salt, SPF, and sweat**

    30. Sick and TIRED of having to re-tuck in your shirt every five seconds? This bodysuit blouse will remain safely stowed inside your pants for a look that can best be described as “crisp”.

    31. Don't purchase new shoes if you can simply repair beloved old ones yourself! Give your favorite suede booties some serious TLC by way of this four-sided brush cleaner, which will make annoying scuff marks and salt stains all but vanish into thin air.
