anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "When I saw this online, I knew I had to see it in person to make sure it didn't feel scratchy and cheap. And I love it! This jacket reminds me of something Urban Outfitters would sell for triple the price. The mauve color is beautiful and the jacket is super cozy. It is oversized, so I would order a size down, but other than that it's a great piece for the winter." —Jaclyn

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "This is going to be my go-to jacket for fall/winter... and spring! This jacket is so effortlessly chic and edgy and the sleeves are a perfect length/fit. The material and details look very nice. It stops right where mid-rise jeans would start. For reference, I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs. I got the black one." —Effortless Style

Price: $37.90 / Available in sizes S—L

12. A crushed velvet cami dress that is clearly crushing the fashion game.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "This is flattering and comfy. Just stretchy enough to move around a lot, but not too tight. It did feel a tad long and loose around the legs, it reaches me ~2 in below the knee and I am 5'3". The medium was looser than I expected (since it seems to be painted on the model), but I kinda prefer it. Some might consider it to run large, though. Looks cool with combat boots, but really elegant with heels. Love it overall." —Gabby

Price: $22.90 / Available in sizes S—XL

13. Sheeny leggings that are a must-have.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "These legging are incredibly amazing to work out!!! Great fit, true to size, and breathable!! I love how they defines my figure and still feel comfortable enough to work out at the gym :)" —Grizzy

Price: $14.90 / Available in sizes 0X—3X

anrdoezrs.net

15. A basic zip-up hoodie that you'll never want to take off.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "The material is high quality and super comfy. This jacket could easily compare to any American Apparel jacket for nearly a third of the price. I bought the maroon and heather grey! They fit true to size, but if you are petite, they might be a little long in the waist. The arms fit perfectly." —Bianca B

Price: $12.90 / Available in sizes S—L / Also available in 10 different colors

16. Classic skinny jeans that you can wear every damn day.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "These jeans are a great price and great quality. I had one pair for almost a year, but they started to wear out at the stitching so I tossed them and got a new pair. These do have some stretch to them so they're very comfortable! Great dark wash color also." —Allison

Price: $12.90 / Available in sizes 12—20

17. A gorgeous mesh bralette with floral embroidery.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "First time ever getting a bralette from here, ordered online and instantly fell in love when I opened up the package! I wear a 36D so I was really worried about it not fitting because of that reason, but it fits perfectly in all the right places. I want one in every color." —Niki

Price: $12.90 / Available in sizes S—L

18. A turtleneck top that manages to be trendy *and* basic.

forever21.com, anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "I own this in 3 different colors and I absolutely love it. It's thin, which allows me to wear it in the fall with a jacket and in the winter under more layers. The fabric is soft and very stretchy (I normally wear a S, but I could get away with an XS if I wanted a tighter fit). It's also very flattering, which is hard to come by with winter clothes. I don't have it in white (yet), but the other colors I have are not sheer, so I want to also buy it in white as well." —Ra

Price: 8 different colors

19. Ankle booties that go with any outfit.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "I really like these shoes. I was worried that the quality would reflect their price, but they are sturdy and super comfortable. I wear them to work and stand for most of my 7.5 hour shift and they never give me an issue. Great for fall. The heel height is perfect." —Woohoo

Price: $27.90 / Available in sizes 5.5—10 / Also available in black, dark brown, and camel.

20. A pencil skirt that you could dress up or down.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "I currently own the navy blue and black, but I want them all. Every single one. I love this skirt, it hugs my shape perfectly, the material is so soft, so comfy *sigh* five stars." —Lala

Price: $6.90 / Available in sizes S—L / Also available in 13 other colors

21. A faux leather jacket that you're guaranteed to get a ton of compliments on.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "This coat looks and feels like real genuine leather. I received so many compliments. It has deep pockets and nice size buttons down the front, and a nice belt that you can either tie or wear hanging down on each side. I wish this coat came in black also. And the price point is awesome as well." —Nauje

Price: $34.90 / Available in sizes 0X—2X

22. A sweater dress for casual gatherings and fancy shindigs.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I was worried it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it sure does. The fabric is so nice and it looks expensive. I plan on wearing it with over-the-knee boots. It's true to size as well." —Alicia

Price: $15.90 / Available in sizes S—L / Also available in olive and tan

23. A moto jacket that has a removable faux fur hood.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "Wanted this jacket for a while now. I finally got it and wasn't disappointed at all. Looks true to the picture. I got a small and it fits perfectly, if anything the jacket runs a little on the larger side which is okay, since I love to layer. One of my staple pieces for sure! The fur also looks and feels amazing!" —Stina

Price: $39.90 / Available in sizes S—L

24. Cotton-blend leggings that are actually great.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "The best leggings I own to date! I've paid 4 times what these cost only to poke a hole in them with my nail or have them unravel after one wash. These are durable, of good quality, and fit well. I'm 5'10" and a size 10/12 in pants, so a large was perfect. These come up high enough on my waist and aren't see through when they're stretched. Also, these are long enough for me to wear ankle boots but not still have my ankles exposed. These leggings are perfect! Ordering more colors!" —KikiOfficially

Price: $5.90 / Available in sizes XS—L / Also available in 11 different colors

25. A bomber jacket that comes in a gorgeous burgundy color.

anrdoezrs.net

Surprisingly warm." —Taka

26. A knit pencil skirt to wear on a night out.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "I finally found a pencil skirt that doesn't make feel like I squeezed into a sausage casing. This skirt is comfortable, stylish, and skims the body, not clingy at all. Please add more colors. I would love to see this in charcoal, burgundy, and blush." —Classy Hippychick

Price: $11.90 / Available in sizes 0X—3X / Also available in mustard and rust

27. A ribbed knit dress that has a swing silhouette.

anrdoezrs.net

Promising Review: "This is a perfect dress! I bought it for engagement pictures to wear with a scarf and boots. I got the rich black color and it is great. I am between a small & medium so I ordered a medium to make it more flowy. It is the perfect size & length. I love how the arms and top are tighter, then the bottom flows out. I didn't know if I would like the ribbing, but I do! I now want every color!" —HappyLife16

28. Faux suede pumps that have a fun ankle-strap.
