    13. A super cool and sustainable pair of upcycled overalls that are actually made from two pairs of old jeans cut up and sewn together, and the straps are vintage suspenders. Yeah, these rule ~overall~ the plain denim pairs you'd find in stores.

    14. A glam-but-versatile flared midi skirt with pleats and pockets that over 2,000 reviewers adore.

    18. A dramatic waterfall cardi to help you make a regal entrance everywhere you go, queen.

    19. A super soft jumpsuit that's trendy, but also so comfy you'll feel like you're getting away with wearing a PJ onesie in public.

    20. A pullover sweatshirt with on-trend pink and blue athletic stripe details to give it some extra style. Love this as part of a sweatsuit, of course, but I'd really love to see it paired with jeans and a statement necklace post-quarantine.

    21. A gorgeous lace cocktail number that basically reinvents the LBD and LRD (little red dress). Yes, they're classics for a reason, but the lace and flirty neckline of this beauty makes it next-level.

    22. A posh blazer with gold buttons guaranteed to become a staple in your closet and help you ~blaze~ new sartorial trails.

    23. A comfy polo dress that looks a little more polished than the oversized T-shirt dress you already own, but will be just as cute paired with your favorite sneakers.

    24. An A-line skirt with pockets you can tuck all kinds of tops into to give them an instantly luxe feel, thanks to the the gorgeous velvet material.

    25. A versatile and soft tee with a faux suede pocket that you should definitely colorblock off some time in your sartorial schedule to rock.

    26. A classic power suit that comes with an equally boss hot pink belt bag to finish off the perfect minimal-chic look. You get major bang for your buck, since you can also rock all three versatile pieces on their own!

    27. An oversized denim shirt just as versatile as any chambray topper, but with a precious twist. It's embroidered with your favorite breed of pup, so you'll have a ~ruff~ time finding a cuter shirt than this.

    29. A lightweight open-front sweater that's not a regular cardigan, it's an embellished cardigan. The boho ruffles, stitching, and trim are a bonus tas-selling point.

    30. A BuzzFeed Tasty basic crewneck T-shirt featuring a (technically) basic recipe for a food that could never be boring. If I ever say I'm tired of grilled cheese, call the police — I'm clearly an imposter.
