Behold, I found these and they are magical! They have such a lovely cushion and the sides of the shoes are so supportive. Last but not least, they look great on my feet." —Sarah Harris
Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 32 colors and patterns).

30. A fuzzy faux shearling jacket for feeling ~covered~ when it's too warm for winter puffers, but too cold to brave the outdoors sans coat. Will you want to keep it on all day? YES.
Promising review: "This jacket is so comfortable to wear, and also surprisingly warm. I was not expecting that I could brave the snow with this jacket, but I was so warm and comfortable in this jacket, I haven't even had the need to bust out my heavy duty winter coat because this is warm enough. The best part is that this jacket is SO much cheaper than every other teddy jacket out there, and still stylish and comfy.

Promising review: "I needed a cute shirt to go out in at the last minute and was so happy to find this on Amazon.

Promising review: "OMG, this is so cute. I am a size 14 so XL would've been perfect fit, but I wanted to have that looser look like the model so got a size XXL. I pulled it off perfectly. I wore this to a concert in December in Chicago with just high riding boots and it was a true thick flannel: not cheap material at all. I got tons of compliments and one person told me this goes for $65 in boutiques — I told her check out Amazon LOL. The colors are vibrant, it keeps me warm, the pattern lines up nicely, and is perfect for a girl's night out to an Xscape concert." —news u can use
Get it from Amazon for $19.88+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 colors).

Promising review: "I love this T-shirt! It's so easy to wear and is so great for fall. The material is substantial and I love the loose sleeves to switch things up a little. Already received compliments the first time I wore it. Runs true to size." —coco2054
