Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A regal metallic pleated maxi skirt with an elastic waist, because who says glam and comfy can't mix? This will give new, sparkly life to any — and I mean any — top in your closet.
For example, I am living for the way the reviewer above styled it with a casual hoodie!!!!
Promising review: "The pictures do not do this skirt justice. I received over 20 compliments at our company Christmas party. The silver is both a light silver and dark silver at the same time and it picks up and mimics whatever color you put with it. It’s the perfect complement to any top!!" —Teri M
Get it from Amazon for $25.96 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 14 colors and knee- or ankle-length).
2. Droolworthy metallic, cowboy-inspired ankle boots I dare you to pop on anytime you'd normally reach for black or brown booties. Jeans? Skirts? Dresses? Yeehaw to all of the above.
3. A glam sequined bomber jacket you should buy *now* before Ms. Swift drops 1989 (Taylor's Version) so you have the perfect vibes ready. You'll likely find yourself rocking it and replicating her tour moves in your bedroom mirror. ~I wish you would.~
Promising review: "FUN! Fun! FUN! So many compliments received wearing this jacket out on the town to a rock concert. Once the lights were dimmed, I was shining brightly like a twinkling star! LOVED IT. My only complaint would be the sequins kept snagging one another in the arms. I just got to the point were I tugged it enough to rip the connection and went about my business. For the price, it's fun. If I had spent $100 or more and the problem existed, I would send the merch back. For the price, I can manage. It's fun. It's funky. It's fresh! Haters gonna hate...LOVERS WILL LOVE." —Joanna 0216
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors).
4. A delightful rainbow striped midi skirt for the sartorial serotonin boost you so desperately need right now. Oh, and it's perfect for showing off equally fabulous shoes.
This cuteness is from The Tiny Tassel, a Black woman-owned, Charleston-based small business that specializes in cheerful accessories (often featuring, yup, tassels) and clothes (designed by the founder's mom!).
Get it from The Tiny Tassel for $128 (available in sizes XS–3X).
5. Adorable over-the-knee animal socks who can't wait to peek out from your fave tall boots.
Promising review: "These socks are just as adorable in person as they are in the photo. And they're warm, which is good because I'm always cold! The material is soft, but sturdy, and a lot thicker than I expected them to be, and they have a bit of a stretch to them." —Dru
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four animals)
6. A beyond-glam faux-fur jacket ~fur~ anyone who loves to feel fancy but also insists on being cozy 24/7. It'll look so fashion-blogger-level fabulous tossed over a fancy dress *or* with jeans and heeled boots.
Promising review: "I love this jacket and I have gotten so many compliments. It does not look cheap at all. It can be worn with an elegant dress or dressed down with jeans. It is super soft and warm! My only complaint is the sleeves are a little long on me, but I just rolled them under and you can't tell at all." —Peggy Vetter
Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors).
7. A ruffled tulle skirt with a comfy elastic waist, because IMHO a tulle midi should be considered just as much of a wardrobe staple as a white tee or LBD. I said what I said.
It runs big according to reviewers!
Promising review: "Like many of you, I stared at this skirt forever. Buy it. It is a statement piece. It is unique. It is light, versatile, and comfy! The waistband will not squeeze you. In love!" —natamach
Get it from Anthropologie for $148+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and in seven colors).
8. A pair of cow-print pants that'll finally mooootivate you to try out this super fun trend. Now this is what I call ranch dressing.
Promising review: "I am my younger self's icon. WARNING: only buy these pants if you are comfortable receiving compliments from groups of middle school girls. Also the occasional mooing from your boyfriend. :) These pants are absolutely lovely. The fabric is more canvas like than it is jean, but it totally works with the style." —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 15 styles).
9. Versatile and glitzy celestial ear jackets with optional cascading stars in the back. Rock 'em with the fringe for a bold statement, or wear just the front for a simpler stud that still packs a punch. Either way, your lobes will look ~out of this world~.
Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful, and clever with the post being falling stars. The stud sits comfortably and is lovely. Not gaudy or tacky in the least. I’m thrilled with them — and the price? If you are charmed by the picture you won’t be disappointed! They’re beautiful!" —Amyss
Get them from Amazon for $8.66 (available in two colors).
10. A clever turtleneck sweater shrug you can use to make pretty much any top or dress cold-weather friendly. This'll cement your place in the creative fashionista hall of fame.
Promising review: "The Turtleneck Sweater Sleeve Scarf is the best way to wake up your tops! I wore it with a cheetah print T-shirt and a black pair of jeans with a great pair of combat heels. Everywhere I went; work, the store and the gas station, I received compliment after compliment. Most people liked that it was different, others liked the sleeves, and others really thought it added so much to the outfit. Buy it. You will look great and love the compliments!" —Felita E.
Get it from Eloquii for $69.95 (available in sizes 14/16–26/28 and in four colors).
11. A collared printed jumpsuit that comes with a belt so styling truly is a ~cinch~. From work to happy hour, this bb can do it all.
Reviewers recommend sizing up! Check out our full write-up on this jumpsuit for more deets.
Promising review: "Bought this for a business trip. I had a jacket on top but even without the jacket, I loved it! The belt is a nice color although a bit cheap. Cannot say I am surprised about that for the price, but the fabric and the cut were wonderful. Would likely buy another color once my size is available again!" —G
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 31 styles).
12. Posh wide-leg pants ready to take crop tops and pretty much every top you'd usually tuck into jeans to new, Parisian-chic heights.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "New wardrobe staple! Awesome pants! The quality would make me think they cost more like $60–$90. I bought the tan ones and after wearing them a couple of times went back a week later and bought them in black. Now, I’m 5’6”, and normally when I buy this kind of pants they end up being wayyy too long, but these are the perfect height with 1"–3” heels! They do drag a tiny bit with flats, but I prefer small heels anyway, and it’s not a major tripping hazard or anything. Also I wear a size 10–12 normally, but ordered these in 12–14 both times. I probably could’ve gotten away with ordering a 10, but I’m glad I ordered a size up, because it is loose and has some extra room at the waist. Highly recommend! Buy different colors!" —Stephanie
Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–2X, with a few colors also available in short lengths, and in 32 colors and prints).
13. A rainbow stripe, puff-sleeve midi basically made for twirling and posing. Don't worry, both are very common side effects of purchasing this dress and should wear off once you take it off.
This New York-based, Asian American woman-owned small business makes truly stunning and special vintage-inspired clothing no one else you know will have — they'll all be begging to know where you got your new frock. Consult the size chart in the product description, but also note that this brand tends to run on the smaller side!
Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous dress!! Came exactly as pictured, and better than anything I’ve bought at a big box retailer in years. Considering how voluminous and dramatic the piece is, it’s about as lightweight as you could ask for a lined, semiformal dress. I usually wear a 10 or 12, but I went with a 12 out of caution and it fits like a glove." —Angelina Meehan
Get it from Mr Water New York on Etsy for $89 (available in sizes S–XXL).
14. A pair of stunning embellished headbands because they are essentially crowns you can wear with T-shirts and jeans, even if you don't come from royal blood. Could have fooled me.
Promising review: "These headbands are lovely! They easily dress up any outfit. They are comfortable to wear and don't cause headaches. I love adding this to a simple outfit as a statement accessory. I have worn it with a fitted black top and jeans and received many compliments. I recommend these stunning headbands!" —❤AMommy👩👧👦
Get a set of two from Amazon for $34.99.
15. A super fun crop top and skirt set that basically makes taking an OOTD pic *required* — your favorite style Instagrammer has met their match.
Since it's two pieces, you can also break it up and use the top and skirt separately to create tons of fabulous looks. Some reviewers say you can size down!
Promising review: "I am EMOTIONAL about how great this is. I'm a bodacious and curvaceous young lady, and finding anything that looks good online is a constant struggle. But I want to wear this every day. If I were in a cartoon, I would want this to be the outfit that I have a closet full of. I have G-cup boobs, and tube tops are my own personal hell. BUT, somehow, this sat just right. I wore a strapless bra under it, and I'm just so excited to wear this out. Did I mention the skirt is perfect? It’s kinda long, but I wore it with some platform-y wedges (I’m 5'6"), and it made it look even cuter! Who gave me permission?! Just get it, OK? That’s the point here." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 prints).
16. A glitzy pull-tie bracelet featuring whimsical charms that'll make a statement whether you rock it by itself *or* stacked with other baubles. Um, how do I score an invite to this epic arm party???
Get it from Baublebar for $48 (available in four shapes).
17. 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.
Promising review: "Loved these earrings! They didn’t weigh down my ears. Very elegant as well. I would purchase again." —Brandon Adams
Get them from Amazon for $8.66.
18. A squeeworthy beaded leopard pouch bag by fan- (and Instagram-) favorite British brand Never Fully Dressed. Remember how Hermione's beaded bag had magical powers? Well this one does too, but instead of storing unlimited things, it scores unlimited compliments.
Get it from Never Fully Dressed for $120.
