1. A belt buckle fedora hat on the days when you're not feeling the whole ~wash day~ routine. Besides with this weather, what's the point of washing the hair just to have the mother nature destroy it the next day? It's a timeless hat that slips into any season you happen to be in at the time. Plus, they come in a bajillion colors.
Promising review: "This is seriously a great find! I've been looking for a hat for a long time for an upcoming trip, and all the hats I've tried on were either too floppy, too small for my face, or just plain uncomfortable. The brim on this hat is a perfect size to keep the sun off your face and stays perfectly in place so it won't obstruct your vision! You can adjust the sizing using a ribbon hidden in the lining, making the fit perfect even for a windy day. Absolutely love this hat!" —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 28 colors).
2. A pair of square-toe boots fully prepared to stroll with you from fall to winter and on to spring. The square toe allows for more comfort on your piggies (great for having to wear a thicker sock too) and the style is timeless and able to mix and patch regardless of the bottom you're wearing.

Promising review: "Very comfy and great looking boots! Just like the picture. The heel height makes me taller but isn’t too steep to walk naturally in. Zipper is smooth to pull up and it stays up and doesn’t creep down over time. Overall very happy with this purchase." —Rebecca Henry
Get it from Amazon for $69.90 (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors).
3. A set of hand-crafted butterfly barrettes just begging to flutter atop your strands reinvigorating even the most uninteresting hairdo on days where you're still looking to max the style but minimize the effort.

Get a set of two from Emi Jay for $22.
4. A pair of black loafers to slip on for extra oomph. Throw on your fave jeans or leggings, a blazer or denim jacket, stick your feet in these shoes and off you go. I'd wear them with a pair of tights vs socks to make them easier to slip in and out of.
Promising review: "These are great!! I’m a kindergarten teacher and these were perfect for wearing all day. They were super comfortable, which is hard for me to find with my feet, so I really mean it. They are also very professional and went great with my black skinny jeans." —Katie Dobbs

5. A pair of thick hot pink earrings complete with a smiley face backing who has been named Stu. These Barbiecore hoops are the perfect pop of color whether paired with a green sweater or vibrant crop top.
6. Or a pair of lightweight hoop earrings available in standard finishes — yellow, white, and rose gold. Reviewers say they've become a go-to for most of their outfits due to their versatility. And at this price, you can get all three colors without breaking the bank.
Promising review: "I am picky when it comes to jewelry. I hate when cheap jewelry changes colors, starts fading, or finish rubs off at the smallest bit of wear. These for real look like they cost way more. I have seen identical gold hoops for five times times more than the cost of these. I actually first discovered these through several Instagram influencers and was shocked they were so cheap haha I immediately bought them in gold and silver. I honestly would still buy them if the price was double what they cost." —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three sizes and three colors).
7. A Western-inspired belt to cinch that long sweater dress to create shape to that potato sack. It can also uphold those sagging pair of jeans that don't fit quite right but are perfect for fall because they're big enough to wear a pair of leggings underneath for extra warmth.
These belts even come with a trim instruction card and a hole puncher to ensure an absolutely perfect fit.
Promising review: "I've been wanting to snag a Western belt since they're so popular, but I wasn't about to drop $40 on it. Step in, Amazon! This one is made with smooth leather, good metal, and the belt adjustment kit is great." —Kate

8. A pair of dangly orb beauties for a fashion-forward twist on the classic pearl earring. Pearls go well with everything and can instantly upgrade the level of an outfit. These dangles will gracefully frame your face and enhance your natural beauty while keeping you in the spotlight. *snaps* Now that's what I'm talking about.

Get it from Amazon for $8.66.
9. A pair of fishnet tights for a severely underrated accessory that can go under shorts, skirts, or even pants for a little peekaboo razzle dazzle that'll elevate the entire look. Even on chilly days, wearing these with a cute pair of cropped dress pants, the fishnet can pop around the ankle right before your shoes. You better werk!

My BuzzFeed editor, Kayla Boyd, loves these tights! Here's what she said:
"These are honestly the best tights I've ever owned! I'm a size 16/18 and it can be hard to find tights that are actually comfortable, not a struggle to put on, and don't rip before I've even stepped outside. These ones are dream come true!! I have been wearing dresses and skirts way more often this winter because I finally have tights I can feel comfy and confident in."

11. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses because multitasking is your love language. Not only do these gold rim beauties add library chic to those chilly trench coat days, but they also help to reduce eye strain and fatigue.
Promising review: "I love these! I tried three different brands before deciding on this one. They definitely block blue light, and they are high quality (which was not the case with other brands). Got them in black also, as well as another style. I can tell my eyes strain less when I wear them and I fall asleep better at night." —Dark Star

12. A dumpling purse you'll be happy you have when you're already feeling weighed down by your bubble coat. They also come in fun colors that can add a little sunshine to your overcast OOTD. Now, sashay away.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag! It came in the mail, and five minutes later, I had it filled and was out the door! Lol. It’s the perfect size for all of the essentials!! I’ll definitely be ordering more colors!! Straps are adjustable — for crossbody or a tied up for a shorter strap. Closure is magnetic. I’ve been looking for a neutral color, and this is it! I usually only use designer brands, but this one is perfect! No worrying about the gold or silver hardware, as this doesn’t show any (just when you open and close it). For some reason these days, you can only find designer nude purses with gold hardware. This color goes with everything!!!!" —MW
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in 11 colors).

My co-worker Ali Faccenda loves this ring. Here's what she has to say about it:
"This is my most beloved ring at the moment and I've wanted one in this exact style for some time now. I love the asymmetrical placement of the stones where they're not in a perfect aligned shape, it adds some character. It honestly looks fab when I wear it on any finger — thumb, index, middle finger (it truly doesn't matter, it looks good ALWAYS). I've washed my hands a bunch with it too and I've seen no signs of wear and tear. This is a jewelry ~steal.~"
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes 5–9 and seven finishes/styles).

Promising review: "I love these sunglasses. I haven't ever owner retro-style sunglasses until now, and the reason is that I had never found any that are as durable, and well made as these ones! The reflective lenses not only look super cool and trendy, but they give your eyes really good protection from the sun and they don't scratch super easily like other sunglasses I've owned. They look way more expensive than they are, and they come in a really durable case as well. I have gotten so many compliments on these sunglasses, and now I get to feel like a trendy festival-goer even when I'm sitting in my backyard watching my kids play in the sprinkler. I highly recommend these sunglasses! Can't brag about them enough." —Ashtin Scott
