Promising review: "I am100% satisfied walking out with them. They're fitting me like the designer made it exclusively for me. I returned the mom jeans I got from American Eagle. I wanted to have a pair of mom jeans that fit me perfectly like this for a long time. I went to big brand boutiques and thrift stores to find a jeans like this.

Promising review: "I love these and they fit true to size. I wear them to work for nine hours a day with skirts or pants and also out to dinner and my feet haven't been sore yet.

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).
29. A fuzzy cable knit sweater that'll keep you oh-so-snuggly warm when taking romantic fall strolls with your dog. Did I mention how soft reviewers find this?
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.

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 12 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 13 colors).

Get it from Asos for $45 (available in sizes 12–26)
36. A sheer mock-neck top so you can *shine* all night when you don't feel suffocated by your going-out attire and are not freezing in a tank top. It turns out you DO like to dance when you can move freely.
Promising review: "I needed a cute shirt to go out in at the last minute and was so happy to find this on Amazon. I've seen similar designs on some of those trendy Instagram boutiques and this is pretty much the same design for a better price. It looks beautiful in person and in photographs – several people have asked me where I got the top." —Karen Yoon
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
37. A printed, cotton turtleneck, because this won't let you settle for boring outfits in the name of staying warm. It's fall, aka time to be TRENDY, and by gosh this top will make sure that happens.
Get it from J.Crew Factory for $26.50 (originally $39.50; available in sizes XXS–3X and four colors and patterns).
38. A plaid shirt dress that'll get you used to a frequent pattern of compliments whenever you show this off. AND you'll be unbeatably comfortable the whole time — unreal.
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).

43. An oversized striped top, because 'tis the season to wear this over leggings until the day you stop loving haunted houses — so NEVER.
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
Get it from Madewell for $39.50 (originally $45; available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors).
