Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A stellar sequined gown — at a price no one will believe — to have you shining bright like a diamond (even if the baubles you pair it with are just costume jewels).
2. An embellished lace detachable collar you can use to trick people into thinking you're a layering pro (with this, you basically are) and make blah tops and sweaters suddenly look all *fancy*.
3. A dramatic, lace-trimmed long open cardi to top off any casual look with a little extra boho flair.
4. Cropped plaid wide-leg sweater pants that are a truly fabulous upgrade from sweats — but still super cozy. It is quite possible that jeans are overrated.

Promising review: "Cute and comfy. These are so cute on! I have to agree with everyone else the color is darker in person but still super cute! I paired them with some chunky Doc Martens and it was a lewk!!!" —Sally
Get them from Eloquii for $89.95 (available in sizes 14/16–26/28 and in two colors).
5. Scene-stealing funky-framed sunglasses, which — warning — might get you mistaken for a celebrity.
6. A chic blazer with gold buttons guaranteed to become a staple in your closet and help you ~blaze~ new sartorial trails.
7. A stunning opal sunburst necklace special enough to earn constant compliments, but also subtle enough to wear 24/7.
It's from a woman-owned small business based in Austin that specializes in adorable, affordable, and delicate jewelry.
Promising review: "I adore this necklace! It’s extremely comfortable and the silver is beautifully bright." —Chloe
Get it from Amanda Deer Jewelry for $56 (available in gold and silver).
8. A preppy and posh plaid Peter Pan collar dress (try saying that three times fast) that can be super sweet or cool and edgy depending on how you style it. Personally, I'd rock it with combat boots!
9. Stunning, hand-painted, and hypoallergenic rain cloud ear jackets you should only buy if you're prepared to be caught in a torrential downpour of compliments.
10. A tartan-talizingly cute double-breasted blazer, which could easily pass for triple the price and will make even distressed denim look super polished. It's also serving some very cool Clueless vibes, so I just had to ~Cher~ it with ya.
11. A bright chunky knit turtleneck to spread some cheer on chilly days — I mean, have you ever seen more smile-worthy colors?
Get it from Sugarlips for $75 (available in sizes XS–L).
12. A scrunched baguette bag from Insta-famous It label JW Pei, which possesses the magical ability to make absolutely any outfit you carry it with look Fashion Week-ready.
This hip label is Chinese American- and family-owned and makes its gorgeous bags with vegan leather and recycled plastic!
Buzzfeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has this and raves "When I started seeing this new 'It bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!"
Promising review: "I needed more 'date' bags as most of my bags are huge. I ordered this and it's exquisite. Soft and not too small. Big enough for a small purse, my keys, lipstick, extra face mask, and iPhone. Highly recommend." —Techy
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in 14 colors).
13. A rock 'n' roll distressed jean jacket I think you will feel the opposite of distressed about after purchasing.
14. Badass cowboy booties with a vibe that's more "let's get brunch and then go to that new boutique" than "time to tend to the newborn calves." Though these will look great on your calves, and I'm here for both aesthetics, tbh.
15. Artsy rhinestone face earrings no one — not a single soul — will guess were under $10 and not from some cool jewelry label.
16. An asymmetric plaid wrap coat to replace the plain peacoat you've worn to shreds the past few winters.
17. An oversized leopard sweater you can rock as a top *or* a dress — either way, people are sure to ~paws~ to admire it.
18. A Betsey Johnson shoulder bag that's somehow both Y2K-tastic and unbelievably chic and of-the-moment, and so tempting that...you've already stopped reading, haven't you? You're already placing your order? Thought so.
It's got a bright pink lining that's not only cute, but will make things easier to find!
Get it from Betsey Johnson for $68.
19. A gorgeous metallic-star-print dress you'll want to twirl in all the way to the moon and back.
20. A preppy and classically chic striped turtleneck that's not too bulky, so you can rock the high-neck trend without totally overheating (or overpaying). The buttons on the shoulder are a classy-looking touch, too.
21. A set of rhinestone snap clips, aka your fave middle school accessory all grown (and glammed) up. Look feeling boring? Add a couple of these and problem solved!
22. A charming pom-pom detail sweater you'll have a ~ball~ layering over pretty much anything.
23. A sleek plaid bodycon dress sure to have everyone at work or on the weekends ~checking~ you out.
24. A tantalizing tweed mini I cannot confirm or deny was the ~rrrEEddd drresSSSss~ Nicholas Jerry Jonas was singing about all those years ago. One thing's for sure — you'll be burnin' up.
Rock it by itself or (*drool*) layer it over a white long-sleeve blouse!
Get it from Anthropologie for $110 (available in sizes S–L).
25. Stylish and slouchy faux-suede heeled boots boasting a soft lining and hardcore Serena van der Woodsen energy. You wouldn't even mind Gossip Girl spotting you in 'em.
26. An influencerworthy felt fedora available in neutral hues and bold statement colors and with over 31,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings, because it's the perfect way to (literally) top off any chilly-weather ensemble.
I got this hat for Christmas last year and love it. I am not a huge hat person, but I *am* a huge purple person, so the rich royal hue sent this affordable style statement to the top of my wish list. I've only worn it once so far (with the outfit above), but it was an absolute compliment magnet that day and it made me feel like a rockstar — not at all silly like I feared it might. I already have several ideas for more ways to wear this outfit-maker, and I 10/10 recommend for a style upgrade.
Promising review: "This hat is EVERYTHING. You will feel like a new person when you go out with this thing. It completes your look. It hides your sweaty greasy roots after being out all day. It doubles great as a fan. Fits a normal head and your big head friends with ease. Need to be basic? Gonna be Crocodile Dundee for Halloween? You already know. I’m about to order three more in different colors because it is so versatile and a whole MOOD. Buy the hat. Enjoy your brunch." —brettenie saldana
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 32 colors).
27. A paw-sh bias-cut midi slip skirt bedecked with leaping leopards you'll surely wanna pounce on — especially since it can be dressed up for a dinner date or made *profesh* for the office.
28. A beyond-glam faux-fur jacket ~fur~ anyone who loves to feel fancy but also insists on being cozy 24/7. It'd also look so fashion-blogger-level fabulous paired with jeans, a tee, and heeled boots.
29. A fun rainbow beaded initial bracelet that'll add a personal touch to your arm party and go with *literally* any outfit.
Get it from Baublebar for $44 (available in 26 letters).
30. A festive pair of glitter tights that prove all that glitters is wardrobe gold.
31. A gorgeously jewel-toned, ribbed cropped long-sleeve top and skater skirt set, because despite the fact that I've been saying it for two years, I think 2023 will finally be the year we enter the 1989 (Taylor's Version) era*, and we will all need to dress accordingly.
32. Fabulously high fashion-looking tiered pearl statement earrings you'll adore, but the rest of your wardrobe might not — every other piece you own is gonna get tired of being upstaged by these wonders. Face it, they're the star of the show.
33. A rich and velvety blue leopard beauty that'll look to the whole world like a gorgeous blouse, but it's actually a bodysuit — aka it'll be wayyyy easier to tuck into jeans and skirts for a super polished look.
Promising reviews: "I swore I wouldn't wear puffy sleeves. This bodysuit made me reconsider. I am between size 1 and 2 and chose size 1 based on reviews. It does run large compared to the other Torrid bodysuits I've worn and fit perfectly, even without shapewear! I have 46" bust and it was comfortable and cute. Looking forward to pairing with some flare jeans. The fabric itself is quite warming and soft to wear. The sheen is lovely." —Bhaktibliss1008
"Fit great. Snaps on bottom, so don't have to pull top down. Soft and comfortable. Looks great with jeans or a skirt." —Banchiecat
Get it from Torrid for $22.99 (originally $55.50; available in sizes M–6X).
34. A sequined shirt dress for people who love to be comfy and chill but also extra (it's me, hi). It's at-home date night perfection, since it brings the glam *without* also bringing an uncomfy waistband. It'd be cute with leggings or skinny jeans underneath, too!
It's from a Black woman–owned, Houston-based small business!
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $108 (available in sizes S–L).
35. Dramatic petal-shaped drop earrings ready to bloom from your lobes and make every outfit look extra di-~vine~.
