I Bought 15 Affordable Items Last Month—Here's How I'm Styling Them IRL

Like most people, I've been more mindful than ever about my shopping habits and what items I really want to add to my wardrobe. After buying almost no fashion-related items in early spring (and wearing sweat outfits every single day), I decided to give myself an under-$100-an-item budget for May shopping. Things like basics, easy summer dresses, and sandals that I'll wear over and over (and over!) again made the cut in addition to a few other fun pieces. See the full list of items I purchased last month and how I'm styling them all below. Did I mention these outfits all require less than five minutes to put together? Because that's true, too.

Technically, this dress is on sale for $109, but I used a 10% off deal, so it makes the cut fair and square. This is my ideal summer dress with its puff sleeves and micro-print, and it’s only made better when paired with my little JW Pei bag (an editor favorite I finally caved on).
I'm a big fan of the ribbed-tank trend because it's so easy to pull off. I've stocked up on several lately, especially ones like this one-shoulder option, and not just because they're only $29. Here, I paired the tank with my new white Levi's—which aren't too rigid (read: work-from-home friendly)—and light gray sandals. Unfortunately, the gray color sold out fast, but I'm equally as in love with the blue pair below.
All black looks are not just for fall and winter. In fact in the summertime, I love pairing a lightweight LBD with strappy sandals and, of course, my new favorite sunnies. (The tortoise color keeps selling out, but the black ones are still available.
Alright, so this is the part when I tell you I regularly buy items I love in multiple colorways. This particular decision was not hard because of the dress's $35 price tag and because of my general fondness for animal print. I love how effortless it looks paired with these white mock-croc toe-strap sandals I just purchased (and plan to wear every day until the end of summer) and simple gold chain necklace. I think I spent five minutes putting this outfit together but received lots of compliments from my quarantine partners (aka mom, dad, and sister).
I somehow snagged this pink workout set before it sold out, but don’t worry: There are still some pieces from Year of Ours’s summer collection available (below!). As for my actual at-home workout routine? I’m hooked on mat pilates so no sneakers required—just these cute high-socks the Instagram world is currently obsessing over.
This is what I call my lazy girl outfit. It almost looks like I put in some effort, when in fact I’m not even wearing a bra and my sneakers don’t even have laces. I’ve already worn this Reformation tank at least five times since I bought it a few weeks ago (I have the black one, too!) because it looks great with nearly every bottom I own. By the way, these linen overalls and velcro sneakers are not new purchases (hence their over-$100 price tags), but I’m sharing them with you below anyway.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
