Promising review: "This dress is cute!! The lace-up option in the back makes the dress actually fit my waist while the skirt part covers the rest of me. The straps are also adjustable which makes it all the easier to select a size. I think the material is actually very breathable and perfect for the summer. Lastly, this dress doesn't fly up around a fan or from a gust of wind. It stays in place, covering the goodies, instead of flying up and exposing everything. Overall great product. I want it in every color!" —Rori

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd has this fabulous set:
"I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in sizes XL–5XL and 36 styles).
This is a great dupe for the more expensive ~Nap Dresses~ that have gained popularity in the last year!
Promising review: "Ethereally beautiful!! This dress is absolutely LOVELY. It’s so lightweight, breezy, and comfortable. It fits perfectly, and the bodice has plenty of stretch so if you’re in between sizes, you could go either way. I actually sized down because I wanted to wear it on the shoulders and didn’t want the sleeves slipping off, but I didn’t have an issue with that at all. It’s wrinkly when it arrives, but a quick steam makes it look so much nicer and more expensive than it is. I got the sage green color and it’s not see-through, it’s beautiful. (I actually returned it in favor of a color I thought I’d wear more, but if green is your fave then you’ll love it). Get this dress!" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).
Promising review: "So cute — I get so many compliments on this! Even friends ask to borrow it! Works great by itself or with a blazer. Only complaint is that it could be a little longer, as sizing up would make it baggy. Great for winter or summer and the pockets are perfect!" —Virginia Redgate
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and two styles).
Promising review: "I love this set! Every time I wear it I get compliments from friends. I also like how open and breathable it is. Texas summers are very hot and I‘m not absolutely dying when I wear this! Very happy with the purchase." —Erika V.

Promising review: "This skirt is beautiful with soft layers, giving it a delicate sophisticated feel. It has enough layering to not be see-through. High quality elastic waistband ensures a comfortable fit. Khaki color will go with a variety of other colors and give a lot of options. Happy with this purchase." —Parkers Mom

Promising review: "These leggings are perfect. They’re not see-through at all, very stretchy without being straight Spandex, and true to color. The seams are in comfortable places and the waistband is great. I buy a lot of leggings, and this is now my go-to source." —Devon Borokoff

They also come in an array of pastel colors for extra springtime vibes! BuzzFeed Editor Emma Lord is a fan of these:
"I bought these in the plain black for running two months ago and WHOOPS, I wear them all the time. Very comfortable, just the right amount of compression for short *and* long runs, and they wash up really nicely."
Promising review: "Gone are the days of slathering vaseline on my thighs before my long runs! These shorts don't slip down, they don't ride up, and they have pockets that actually fit my entire hand. I'm training for a summer race and these shorts seriously saved my life. Best running shorts by I've tried by far." —J. Madrian

VK Modern is a small business based out of California that specializes in handmade crafts like masks, T-shirts, and more.
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has and loves this springy mask! She said:
"I bought this mask a month ago because I wanted to feel fancy and springtime-y, and it actually ended up being one of the comfiest ones I own! It has tiny adjustable toggles on the ears that lock in place really effectively and make it form-fitting. It's also just a fun way to throw a "look, I made an effort today!" flex at the same people I see walking their dogs in the park every morning, which suits my vain sensibilities."
Type Of Fit: Adjustable elastic ear straps
Pocket For Filter: No
Fabric Type: Cotton
Shipping Time: Expected to ship in 2-3 days

Feminist Goods Co. is a woman-owned small business that makes badass products to encourage women to feel their best and express themselves. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Lauren, the owner, and can confirm she is as cool as the products she sells. I have this tee in white and it's one of my absolute faves.
Get it from Feminist Goods Co. for $36 (available in sizes XS–4XL and two colors).
I wore this dress to my sister-in-law's socially distanced bridal shower — it was a hit! I'm about 5-foot-1 and I didn't have to worry about hemming this dress at all. I'm *very* busty and went with the medium — it was a bit taught over my chest but the button loops were very forgiving so it didn't create that awkward this-top-is-too-tight look. Highly recommend!
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and six styles).
Promising review: "I love this dress! It fit perfectly! I am 5-foot-10 and struggle finding dresses that are not 'too short.' This was a perfect length. The bottom half of the dress is lined, which makes it completely opaque. It is a thin material that makes steaming extremely easy and fast. I worn this to an Atlanta Braves game in 100+ degree weather and was able to keep cool. Perfect addition to my wardrobe." —karmen howard

BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman is having a love affair with these jeans:
"These jeans! Where do I start? Well, first of all, they are surprisingly comfortable. They've been my go-to pair since pre-COVID times. I have a bad habit of eating to the point of being uncomfortably full (I just like food, OK?) and these pants never cut into my hips or stomach when I looked about three months pregnant with a baked mac 'n' cheese baby. Now that eating in restaurants isn't really a thing, I've still gravitated toward these jeans on days when I just want to feel...normal... I can sit at my desk while wearing them (sometimes I even sit cross legged) and I totally forget I'm wearing denim. And unrelated to their comfort, I love them because 1. they cup my butt nicely and don't make it look like a pancake and 2. they're the perfect length for my annoyingly short legs."
Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 23–34 and eight colors).
I recently snagged these jeans and cannot wait to wear them out and about on outdoor adventures! I've been a little weary to squeeze back into jeans after spending the last year in solely leggings (feel free to read about the many black leggings I tried here) so I was pleasantly surprised to comfortably fit into these right off the bat. I loooove the super high waist and the rips at the bottom. They look super cute with a cropped tank (as seen above) and will definitely also look good with a cardi thrown over it or tied around the waist as well. AE jeans never disappoint.
Get them from American Eagle for $49.95+ (available in sizes 000–24, short, regular, and long, and four styles).
Did I mention it has POCKETS!?
Promising review: "First I got the yellow-flowered print — it fits perfectly on the shoulders and it's easy to slip on. It feels as if I'm wearing air! Or have become a billowing cloud. The pattern is very pretty, combining yellow, black, and white — unusually remarkable. It's been remarked on favorably every time I wear it. My husband loves it, strangers come up to admire it and most importantly, I love the way it makes me feel and look. I live in a hot summer climate and this dress meets the challenge. I liked it so much I've also gotten the red (I usually look horrid in red, but this one works) and am awaiting the blue. I wouldn't usually go this wild on spending but the cost of each dress is so low I'm stocking up. Added note: it washes well." —Charlotte O. Lowe

I've been a longtime fan of both Keds and Rifle Paper so whenever they come out with a collaboration it's a no-brainer purchase for me. I love the Triple Kick style (I have them in white) because they give me a little extra height but don't feel too clunky to walk around in all day long. Not into florals? Check out Keds x Kate Spade's collab as well for other fun springtime options.
Get it them from Keds for $84.95 (available in sizes 5–11).
Promising review: "It’s darling, practical, and comfy. I love the light wash color I chose. The fringed ends are cute too. It’s a soft, light, semi-stretchy denim fabric, perfect for a dress. The buttons extend the length of it so it doesn’t have to live its life only as a dress — it can be worn a cardigan too, or a tunic. It’s versatile! Made with nice quality and detail. Love it!" —Leah
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and six styles).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress — so much so that I bought it in three different colors. It’s so comfortable and the length and flow is perfect. If you want more length and/or are between sizes, I’d recommend sizing up." —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 33 colors).
Promising review: "This dress is phenomenal. Not see through at all (I did buy black, though), and it is lined. It’s also extremely comfortable. I plan to dress it both up and down either for work or casual outings. I’ll admit I was skeptical, but I definitely won’t be returning this dress. And, as many have stated, it looks much more expensive than what it goes for. I do recommend going with your normal size. I can typically fit into both an S and an M, but M is my usual size for most clothing and this dress fit great. Was not too tight at all, I fear a small would have been clinging to me." —KG
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL, two styles and 16 colors).
Promising review: "These shorts are great. I like the style and that they are shorter in the front but a little longer in the back. They don’t have much give but stretch out from wearing them during the day. I have gotten a lot of compliments on these shorts!" —Caitlynn B.

OK so maybe I miss Walt Disney World just a littttttle bit. I discovered Magic Moon Club, a small sister-owned business based out of the UK, while scrolling through Instagram and immediately saved basically everything they make to my wish list. Between this and their "home truths" collection my bank account should be very nervous.
Get it from Magic Moon Club for $34.50 (available in unisex sizes S–XL and two colors).
Promising review: "This skirt gets me many compliments whenever I wear it, you can dress it up or down and always end up looking vibrant and fun. Also it doesn’t lose its pleating when you wash it or get wrinkles at all, also the elastic is super stretchy for your heavy eating days! Good length too, I’m 5-foot-4 and I don’t have to shave my legs to wear this since it comes right to my ankles!" –nikou

Promising review: "I always get nervous when purchasing clothing on Amazon, but was very happy with this purchase. The material is a decent weight and the cut outs at the bottom of the dress are done nicely. I'm 5-foot-5 and the dress hits just above my knees, which is a perfect length. I don't like my clothes tight, so purchased a 3X. It's loose and flowy and hangs just right. Overall, I'm very happy with the dress. I would go a size up depending on your shape and how you like your clothes to hang." —Kathryn Mathewson

A handful of us have ordered pieces from Three Thirteen and have nothing but positive things to say about this woman-owned small business. My fellow BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord didn't have to do much convincing to get me to add one of these beauties into my cart shortly after hers arrived. The Fearless one is the second to join my collection ;). The best part about this shop is that you can have the embroidery done on an array of items — sweatshirts, tees, hoodies, or a long sleeve. The quality is fantastic and I'll be living in mine while scream-singing "Mr. Perfectly Fine."
