Promising review: "I love these shoes! I've only had them a couple of weeks but have already worn them all day several times. The look is contemporary yet classic. They're pretty and comfortable. I usually have a hard time finding cute, slim heels that fit and are also comfortable, but these are just right. And they're affordable!" —EarthGurl

And you can justify it, too — they all serve different purposes! The solid ones are great for keeping at your desk for when your office gets chilly, while the plaid ones can become an instant outfit that's comfier than a blazer.
Promising review: "This is a perfect wardrobe staple for work or play. I LOVE this! I'll be ordering more colors. It fits perfectly and I particularly like the gathered details on sleeves — I can push them up and they stay up." —Samsarazoe

Promising review: "I love Rekucci pants! I have six pairs now and keep adding more. They come in great colors and are a nice price, and I love the pull-on aspect as well. The waist doesn't have much give, so don't expect these to be like yoga or maternity pants. That's nice though, because they don't sag, and unlike dress pants with buttons/zippers, there's no bulging or puckering. I can wear a form-fitting shirt that goes over the waist without having a bump under the shirt. I get compliments on them all the time. I normally wear black dress pants and black shirts or blazers, so having interesting, colorful pants is a nice way for me to add a little spice to my conservative wardrobe without being over the top. I wash and dry them with all my other clothes (warm, normal dry, etc). I don't like work clothes where I need to fuss with extra laundry loads and whatnot. These are great. I have one pair that I've had for almost two years now and they still look new after repeated wear and washing. They do shrink slightly in the wash. These are the best work dress pants I've found and the price is great. I've worn them out socially with a casual top and sneakers, too." —jmp

The idea of these paired with a tweed blazer? I'm drooling.
Promising review: "I'd been eyeing a pair like these on Baublebar for $36 when I saw these for $9 and thought, why not? I'm sure glad I did! They're super cute and lightweight, and I haven't had any quality issues thus far. I've worn them several times and gotten compliments every time. They're a pretty good size without being huge. I've considered ordering them in other colors because I like them so much!" —Kristina Phillips

Promising review: "I love this sweater! I get compliments every time I wear it. The material is thick and nicely made. It's the perfect length and the design is flattering. I like to wear this to work, but I also wear it casually. I wash this item in cold water and hang it to dry, and it still looks brand new. I may buy it in another color." —Pamela

Promising review: "This is my second bag from this company and I ADORE this one too. It’s fits my laptop nicely and the pattern is darling! The pink is soft faux leather and the black and white stripes are on a canvas material, which makes the juxtaposition between the two fabrics so much fun. The zippered pouch on the back fits a cord as well. The inside is a light blue velvet. All the different materials make for a really cute piece." —LT5000

Promising review: "This dress is quite quirky, and I love it! It's delightfully bold, while still being work-appropriate for most places. I am 5'9" and normally wear a US size 6 or 8 dress, depending on the brand. A size 8 fits me almost exactly like the model; I would say the seller's size chart is pretty accurate. If you are between sizes I would recommend sizing up. The skirt is about midi/tea length, and the sleeves are more bracelet length than anything. One thing that is really nice is there is both a hidden side zipper and functional buttons, so the top is fitted, but not so much that actually putting it on becomes a struggle. The bow tie is quite long, so you can be lovely and extravagant. I didn't think the neck was too tight in any way, even with the bow tied securely. The pleats are wonderfully sharp right out of the package; I am hoping they'll stay that way over time. It can be pretty staticky even with a silk slip, so be aware. The fabric pattern in the picture is pretty darn close to what I received, which was genuinely a pleasant surprise! There was definitely more tan in mine, so perhaps expect the same if you purchase it. Overall, this dress was a definite win for me. I got a lot of compliments when I wore it, and felt absolutely fabulous the whole time." —Techin' It

Promising review: "This dress had me at pockets! What a great dress, especially for work! It has pockets on both sides, a work-appropriate hemline, and the material is the kind where you can sit for hours, but it'll never show a wrinkle! I'm 5'6" and 150 lbs and the medium fits great. With wedges, it's the perfect outfit for work: comfy and practical yet classy." —AprilAries

Promising review: "This is a great alternative to a regular shirt. It gets hot in my office, but I want the nice professional look of a collared shirt without all of the bulk. I wear a tank top, add this half-shirt, and then a sweater or collarless top. It looks wonderful together. I normally wear size 14. The large is comfortably roomy." —andy cc
