Actually, the first purse I purchased similar to this was from a boutique, was a different brand, but pretty identical and much more expensive. I found this brand — much more affordable and offered in a multitude of colors — I had to purchase more. So far, I have brown, black, white and pink. Definitely getting more colors soon — I still need red and blue!" —D Spies

7. A pair of elongated halo hoops if you're starting an earring stack and looking for the perfect piece to build off of. These sculptural bebes not only look like a million bucks, but are 14-karat gold-plated brass so they're resistant to tarnishing, too.
Get them from Maison Miru for $80.

Promising reviews: "I finally bought this dress after seeing it all over TikTok and HOLY SMOKES. It's absolutely stunning!" —Catherine Thriveni
"This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" —Tonya
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors/styles).

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 00–14 and in 20 colors).
14. A bespoke, engraved Birthdate pendant necklace with gemstones and crystals specific to your birthday. The astrology- and numerology-inspired piece also comes with an insert that details the energy and good fortune represented by each stone.

Get it from Birthdate Co. for $149 (originally $195; available for all 365 days of the year).
15. A lace-trimmed tank you can pair with whatever bottoms you happen to have clean at the moment — be it jeans, a midi skirt, or a pair of shorts that you miiiiiight have just snatched out of your hamper but hey, they pass the sniff test. 🤷♀️
Promising review: "This crop top is a wardrobe staple! The lace trim adds a feminine touch and the oversized fit is perfect for everyday wear. The beige color goes well with any outfit!" —Cider Reviewer

16. A neutral cropped tee that works just like any regular ol' tee but with ✨a little extra spice ✨in the form of a twist.

Promising review: "Love this dress! Soooo soft! I went back and forth on the size because I saw that some reviewers said that it ran large...I went with my usual size and I’m glad I did. The body fit loosely (the way it’s meant to) but if I had gone down a size it would have been too tight across the bust." —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $42.70 (available in sizes XXS–3X and in 18 colors).
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can try this piece out before you buy it!

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 41 colors/styles).

21. Some gold-plated hypoallergenic huggie hoops with green stones that'll add a pop of color to any outfit you pair them with. Reviewers with sensitive ears swear by them, too, which is always a good sign!!
Promising review: "I have super sensitive skin so I was very apprehensive purchasing these and wearing them. THEY HAVEN’T IRRITATED MY EARS AT ALL!! I wear them every day from morning to night and they’re great! I get a lot of compliments on them. Thank you for making more affordable earrings for people with sensitive ears." —Carly
Get them from Flaire & Co. for $13.
22. Horsebit heels that look a whole lot more expensive than they are!!! Be honest... if you saw these on a friend would you ever guess they were only $50?!
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but the reviews are a great help. I purchased them in white. Fantastic! I have a slightly wide foot with help of some bunions. They are a little wide on my foot, but my foot swells in the summer. I appreciate the space. It has a padded foot bed, and I inspected both shoes closely since Amazon can be hit or miss. I fully recommend these. They are sturdy, not flimsy, and my foot feels secure walking in them. I got my usual size 9 for high heels. Heel is the perfect height, very walkable. Not meant for walking long distances, but to add to an outfit, standing, and walking for shorter periods of time. I think these shoes are a great investment!" —hlh0904
Get them from Amazon for $49.98+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They’re extremely comfortable and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi’s. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." —Lulu Herrera
Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 24–32 and in 13 washes; plus sizes 16–24 available here).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give these a spin before you buy them!

Check out a TikTok of the cargo pants.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I LOVE them. They fit so well. Loose, but not too loose, and extremely comfy. They come down just below the ankle, so they'd pair perfect with a pair of Jordans or Dunks. Also comes with an adjustable tie on the waist to fit as you need, same around the ankle." —annabella Gambone
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in men's sizes 27–44 and 42 colors).

Promising review: "This is such a beautiful dress! The medium was a little loose in the body but perfect length-wise. Still was very comfortable. I got a lot of compliments! It was made with a good quality material. The under-skirt was nice and thick so you couldn't see through it. I wore short black shorts underneath in case it was windy at the wedding. I paired it with knee-high boots also from Amazon!" —Noel Cossaboon
Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes S–XL and in 32 styles).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!
28. A dainty ruffled set made from lightweight, breathable cotton so your en-vogue outfit won't turn your pits into a sweat fest.
Promising review: "I wasn’t too sure about this the first time I put it on straight out of the packaging. It was wrinkled and I thought it was not a good fit. I held onto it for over a week before I decided to try it again. This time I tossed it in the dryer on wrinkle-free mode. The wrinkles relaxed and I tried it on again. I AM IN LOVE!!! I am seriously considering getting this in another color. It’s lightweight, and has these cute slits up the side of the pants. The material does not stretch so keep that in mind." —Alysa Mounce
Get it from Amazon for $37.57+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).
29. A seriously *stunning* slip dress you can gussy up or tone down. Wear it with heels and you've got yourself an evening dress, or pair it with a leather jacket and ankle boots for an impossibly cool look.
Amazon Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "Love this dress so much. It’s like wearing a satin nightgown but out in public. I pair a tank top over it and sneakers for a casual look. The slits are sexy without being overtly sexy and the material just hugs my curves with enough room to still move about." —Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $40.02+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 23 colors)

Get them from our Goodful shop for $102 (available in sizes XS–L and in two colors).
32. A smocked crop top expertly designed with straps that are actually thick enough to conceal even the most unruly bra strap!!
Promising review: "This top is very cute and comfortable. The bust section is stretchy and then it’s nice and flowy on the bottom. Great for a casual date night look." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors/prints).
33. An exceptionally easy-to-wear LBD that hits right at your ankle so you don't even have to shave if you don't want to 🤷♀️. (Not that you don't *have* to anyways...but for those who typically do.)
34. Platform periwinkle slides with a sporty silhouette that make me want to throw on my brightest terry cloth set and hang out by a resort pool somewhere exotic.
Get them from our Goodful shop for $189 (currently available in sizes 7–11).

Got so many compliments. The band doesn’t dig in and doesn’t look awkward. I can’t wait to get it in different colors." —Daria Z.
Get it from Amazon for $34.36+ (available in sizes XXS—5X and in 24 colors/styles).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give this a spin before you buy it!

Promising review: "They’re exactly as pictured. The laces are not stretchy so you’ll have to flex your legs while tying them or else they’ll be too tight. This means they stay up on my leg perfectly though. I’ll definitely order more sandals from this vendor." —Abs Inthe
Get them from Greek Chic Handmades on Etsy for $79.59+ (originally $99.49+; available in sizes 4–14 and in five colors).

Promising review: "Skirt is amazing for the price. Light and flowy... perfect length, not too short and not too long. Love the color and pattern. Looks great with a tank and jean jacket! I'm between a medium and large and purchased the large and it fits perfectly." —Heather Gorman
