5. Blazers

The perfect day-to-night piece for the office and a night out. They are a great way to make your work outfits cute and to dress up or down a nighttime fit. Investing in a good-quality blazer is something you’ll never regret.

 

 
 

 

6. Printed Tops

Three-quarter sleeves, short sleeves, and tank tops with a printed design are cute and incredibly easy to style! They’re a breeze to thrift and can instantly elevate a simple shirt-and-pants outfit, making you stand out in the crowd!

 

 
 

 

7. Mary Janes

Mary Janes are sold in so many different styles! If you’ve been considering buying a pair, do it! They are the perfect casual and dressy day shoe. Great for both the office and brunch, these timeless shoes will be a closet staple far after the current trend dies.

 

 
 

 

8. Summer Dresses

Some Summer dress styles can be risky when standing the test of time, but a simple black or white summer dress can never go wrong. Versatility is one thing, but comfort can never be passed up on hot Summer days. Florals, plaids, and patterns are always great if they look like something you can see yourself wearing and re-wearing for years. But if you’re too scared to take the risk, find a solid color that compliments your skin and personal style!
