Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. An off-shoulder skater dress ideal for replicating the scene when you walk into the party and your best friend/co-worker finally gets a chance to see you outside of your work uniform. They can't keep their eyes off you.
2. A pause graphic tee perfect for when your work nemesis aka future love interest comes up to you complaining about the campaign you stole right from under their nose. Use this tee to come up with a smart remark — half a cup of snark and a smidge of flirty angst.
Get it from Bando for $36 (available in sizes XS–XL).
3. A cropped sweater vest just begging to be worn when you and your bestie go to the Harry Styles concert that'll cheer you up after your big breakup. Get in loser, we're going to get you some watermelon sugar.
Promising review: "I wore this to the Harry Styles concert and got so many compliments. My sister got the light green one so we could match :) The sweater is soft, fits so well, and is exactly as described." —Nicole Wheetley
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–L).
4. A pair of Sam Edelman pom-pom heels because they just look like the heels you "borrowed" from work to wear on your Hinge date. Only, now someone stole them. Who better to help you retrace your steps around the city than your lazy next-door neighbor?
5. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses for those late nights you've been working at the office trying to get the presentation ready for the investor's meeting. When out from the shadow you spot who you *think* is the janitor. You start to become friends, only to find out later, they're actually your boss.
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
Get them from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in 9 colors).
6. An acrylic gold flake clips in case you want to pin up your hair when that person that thinks you've got them all wrong invites you to attend an art show. And, to your surprise, the painting you like the most is the one they painted.
Fibs and Fables is a Black woman-owned shop based in DC inspired by mythology and fables and with the goal to create inclusive conversation about hair — and their stuff is, I cannot stress this enough, extremely gorgeous.
Get them from Fibs and Fables for $16 each (available in three colors).
7. A dumpling purse you'll reach inside when "you know who" asks if you have a business card. Although you've never needed business cards before, you just so happen to have one in your bag. 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 $31.98 (available in 10 colors).
8. A set of press-on nails because as the owner of your own coffee shop, you can't exactly keep up a full set of nails. So, when a drifter comes through town wanting to take you out to a nice dinner, you gotta throw it together. They'll never be able to tell the difference until the night takes a romantic turn one of your nails ends up stuck to their chest. ~Awkward~
9. A ruffle knit tank, an everyday tank that still has that main character energy you're looking for because this is YOUR story. We're just the supporting cast.
Promising review: "Such a cute addition to any summer outfit! Highly recommend. Lightweight but detailed and works great for any occasion." —Helena Ezzeldin
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and in 31 colors/styles).
10. A baguette ring that's so cute, it'll make your crush think you're taken. But no, this was just a little gift you got for yourself. Hmm... but maybe keep them guessing a little longer.
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 $15.99+ (available in sizes 5–9 and six finishes/styles).
11. A tulle ruffle-shoulder bodysuit — the perfect top for the event you're at. You go to take a beautiful selfie by the dock of the bay and the bully from high school accidentally knocks you in. But what starts as a pretty rough reintroduction has... romance potential?
Promising review: "Love this bodysuit!! I wore it for my birthday brunch and felt bougie in all the right ways! I had a ton of girls ask me where I got it and they were shocked when I told them Amazon." —Cassidy Diab
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors/styles).
12. A puff-sleeve blouse that just looks expensive — which is why some people think you're a stuck up person from the burbs. But, they have no clue who you really are or that you're about to steal their heart.
Promising review: "This top is fitted but has great stretch; it is somewhat short...but not a crop at all, it will probably hit the tops of your pants pockets. The body of the top is made with a soft, lightweight, non-itchy knit-textured type of material. The sleeves worked out better than expected; the sleeve material is soft and was NOT itchy (like I expected it to be)." —Karmen
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XL Plus–3X and in two colors).
13. A denim jacket because it's an everyday staple that's become part of your college uniform. You wear it all the time, well that is until you bumped into your chem partner and they spilled hot coffee all over it. Ugh, they're so clumsy — and a little cute, too.
Psst: This item is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I adore this jacket! It fits perfectly. I like wearing the sleeves rolled up, but when I wear them down they are more than long enough and I have really long arms. This can be worn with dresses, jeans, whatever! It's the perfect color!" —Stacy
Get it from Amazon for $34.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors)
14. An asymmetrical wrap skirt that comes in 18 different colors which is why you're always wearing one in your stationery store. It even becomes a joke with the new writer in town who comes by the shop often for supplies.
Promising review: "Perfect transition piece! Honestly, impressed. It does not have a lining, but it also was not too sheer to the point you can't wear it. I got MANY compliments on this and you just can't beat the price for a statement piece. Fit was true to size and if anything had room for adjustment. The waist band also has two buttons - so you can wear it looser/tighter! It is a wrap, but it's not revealing at all!" —Lexi Milone
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 20 colors).
15. A lightweight button-down tank, an effortless top ready to mix and match with your already bustling wardrobe. This is what you're wearing when you accidentally let your dog out of the house. Thankfully, the local hotdog vendor is willing to help you look for Baxter (the dog, obvi).
Promising review: "I love these shirts so much! I have a couple of colors and will buy more! They’re super comfortable, the material is great, and they look good with pretty much any bottoms! You can dress them down or up, and so far, they’ve been fine in both the washer and dryer." —C_Jameson
Get it from Amazon for $14.40+ (available in 21 colors and in sizes S–5XL)
16. A ~dramatic~ belted gown you wear on the premiere of your documentary film. You've worked so hard on it. And while everyone loves the film, all you can think about is the fight you had with the editor before the big night. You wonder if they'll still show up.
FYI, the ribbon belt is removable!
Promising review: "This dress is so incredibly gorgeous. I've been very into the high-neckline trend. I can wear it with flats or heels without worrying about it getting dirty. I love that it comes with a little matching string to tie at the waist for a more fitted look. It's so comfortable and flowy. It's exactly what I was looking for and the colors are gorgeous. :)" —Paisley
Get it from Amazon for $30.09+ (available in sizes M–XXL, S–L petite, and L–XXL tall and 27 styles).
17. A red beret to push your chic style level over-the-top. That's why the nerdy classmate thinks you're out of their league. Truth is, you think they're out of your league.
Lilly's Kloset is a Houston-based small biz started by Kemetria Lilly.
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $14 (also available in gray or burgundy).
18. A glitzy mesh top super chic for a BFF getaway. You're off and on the prowl. You're reeling from a breakup but it's not going to stop your friends from making this the best weekend ever. But after one wild night, you wake up to find that you got married the night before. Now you've got two choices: get to know your new boo or get the whole thing annulled.
Promising review: "I love it! I was a bit nervous upon opening the package that it was going to be a cheap-looking material but it was not. It is very soft and feels great on my skin. It was not scratchy at all. I will definitely be ordering a few more and this time a size down." —Jos
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).
19. A pair of dressy pants disguised as comfy lightweight joggers giving you a stylish but practical option. As the CEO of your own company, these are the kind of styles you gravitate towards. And now, with a merger underway, it's not the time to be swept up by romance. But, the heart wants what the heart wants.
20. A pleated midi skirt ideal for making an effortless yet noticeable fashion impression without having to say, "Hey, look at my outfit." Metallic is always an A+ choice and will look so good dancing under sunlight. They'll just stare and marvel at your carefree nature. It's at this moment they realize... this is what love feels like.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful skirt; it looks just like in the product photos. The fabric actually feels very luxurious, not thin as you might expect from the price. It was a tremendous bargain at the price I paid. I absolutely love it!" —DoctorG
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 24 colors).
21. A pair of dangly orb beauties for a fashion-forward twist on the classic pearl earring. The one with the pearl earrings, that's what they'll call you because they don't know your name. They spotted you for a moment but when they looked up, you were gone. Will your paths cross again?
Promising review: "I never do reviews but these earrings are STUNNING. Worth every penny you spend: elegant, lightweight, and a show stopper. GET THEM if you are truly into fashion." —BriannaMichelle
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
22. An oversized scrunchie inspired by the ever-so-fashionable '80s clique, The Heathers. Speaking of '80s, when's the last time someone played a boombox over their head outside of your window to get your attention. *deep sigh* Tip: You can also rock it on your wrist as a bracelet.
Fibs and Fables is a woman-owned business based in Washington, DC, that sells hair accessories.
Get it from Fibs and Fables for $27.
23. A set of little pearl drop earrings so cute they can't believe that you're actually a librarian. You're nothing like the librarians they remember from their school days. They might've actually read a book if their librarian looked the way you do.
Promising review: "I purchased these earrings in both the silver and gold. Both pairs are beautiful and the quality is wonderful! I love them!! I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. They are also very comfortable to wear! Shipping was super fast!!" —cathyharriman
Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three finishes).
24. A satin cowl-neck dress here to shut the party down. Yes, see, they didn't want to take you to the party because they didn't want their friends to know they liked you. Well now, they'll be begging for your attention. *mic drop*
Promising review: "This is the perfect dress! I gave it 5 stars, because I am impressed. I didn't think it was going to be this gorgeous for that price. It fits beautiful, it's stretchy so that makes it fit better and elegant. You can wear for weddings, parties, etc. I recommend it 100%." —YNunez
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 38 colors).
25. A pair of celestial dangle earrings that your ~friend~ gave you on your birthday because they know how much you love Game of Thrones — "moon of my life." Wow, you've always just seen them as a friend but now, you're starting to see them in a different light.
Promising review: "I’m so happy to have found these, they are show-stoppingly beautiful. I put them on as soon as I got them and my boyfriend said I should never wear any other earrings lol. I’m going to wear them out tonight." —TickTockAlice
Get them from Amazon for $39.19.
26. A pair of fishnet tights — a severely underrated accessory that can go under shorts, skirts, or even pants for a little peak-a-boo fierceness. These will go great with your outfit when your friends take you out to a club to get out of your comfort zone. You spend most of your time at the bar, but the bartender is cute so it isn't such a bad thing. 😉
Nude Barre is a Black woman-owned small business that creates hosiery and underwear that represent the full spectrum of skin tones.
Promising review: "Loving these so much! They are luxurious in every way! The feel, the look, the quality, the durability — well worth the investment, because I know they’ll last. Finally, hosiery that allows my skin to be the feature." —Shermale M.
Get it from Nude Barre for $35.50 (available in sizes S–5XL and 13 colors).

Promising review: "I was very surprised with how this item came out! I used it for pictures with my baby, and it was such a great quality for the price. The size, color, and even the poof of the skirt was spot on. It was flat in the package, but once I took it out and fluffed it up, it was just like the picture!!" —ABM
Get it from Amazon for $35 (one size with adjustable waist; available in 20 colors).
29. A pair of bejeweled pineapple studs, an apology gift they gave you when they were a jerk. It came with a corny card that says they ~pine~ for you. How can you stay mad at that?
Promising review: "I love how much these earrings shine! They are perfect when you want to create a statement without being loud. Also, they come in a very cute pink box, these earrings make a great gift for someone special, just don't tell them how much you paid." —Vivian
Get it from Amazon for $8.39.
30. A pair of high-waisted denim mom shorts if you're into that ~ready to journey to Skull Island~ kind of look. These shorts are great for being introduced to their family during the annual camping trip. ~fingers crossed that they like you~.
Promising review: "Y’all, I’ve been looking for a pair of elastic denim shorts for ages, and I finally found a great pair. These shorts are perfect! I look like a total '90s mom in these, and I love it. They’re long enough so my butt doesn’t hang out or eat them, which tends to happen. Obsessed with these shorts." —D
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in seven washes).
31. A pair of baggy overalls that offer a super comfy wear when you head to the local farmer's market in search of sweet peaches for your pie in the upcoming baking contest. Grand prize — $50,000, enough to save your shop from having to close.
Promising review: "I'll admit it, I love overalls. For me, they're comfy and great on weekdays and weekends and, with these in particular, you can dress them up or down. I get compliments every time I wear them, and others always ask where I bought them. My favorite things about these: the loose fit, the linen look and feel; the black color has yet to fade despite numerous washes, the ease of care, and they are so comfy." —seattlehouse
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 14 colors).
32. A rhinestone crystal headband guaranteed to make you feel and look like royalty. Oh no, you've been mistaken for royalty. Well, you can't let them know you're not. You've got to keep the charade going. Will they even like you when they realize you're just part of the waitstaff?
Promising review: "I am in love with the headband. It's so sparkly and shiny. It's very well made and comfortable on the head with or without a wig. The price was right and shipping was fast and on time. This headband is a must-have for anyone who loves to make a bold statement. Perfect for weddings and daily wear." —K. Lyons
Get it from Amazon $8.59+ (available in 11 styles).
33. A fun print dress ready for another weekend spent hunting down the vinyl record you've been searching for all month. You get to the record store, and who has their nubby fingers on it? The person who stole your cab earlier that morning. 🙄
34. A pair of round sunglasses to top off your ~celeb undercover~ look. You're a major superstar, and your entire life is run by agents and managers. You just want a little normalcy. So, your new "friend" helps you escape the public eye and takes you to a place where you can be yourself and no one will recognize you.
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
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors).
