1. A ~groovy~ pair of flowy tiered pants with a high waist and material so light you'll be tempted to lounge in them... Although these beauties definitely deserve to be seen by the world!
Promising review: "These pants were just what I was hoping for. They were very comfortable, lightweight and flowy, but not too see-through. Definitely the kind to watch what you wear under as with any pants I have of this nature. They come wrinkly, but I used my iron to steam the pants and they stayed looking great through the end of the day. They are true to size. I like that they could be worn at the waist or hip (elastic waistband) so I can pull them up higher to accommodate my shorter stature." —Hailee Tay
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–4X, two styles, and 13 colors).

Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry

So happy I did! I got compliments literally all night from countless strangers who were all shocked when I replied with 'AMAZON!!!!' Such a fun, cute shirt to wear on a night out!

I wear a women's large and it fit perfectly. I could see this sweater working for anyone from xsmall to 1x. Its not baggy or anything, the material is very THICK and does have a good stretch to it. I am honestly shocked in the quality of this sweater. I had been eyeing this on ModCloth but it was out of stock (more expensive too)... I am so happy with this purchase, hoping to snag the black cat one at some point." —RogueFeather88
"First of all, I bought this because a seasonal only sweater for $70 on ModCloth is just too expensive. Secondly, this sweater is very stretchy and very soft. It is not itchy or irritating to the skin and the design is really cute! I am 5’5” and the length is perfect! It was also pretty loose on me on the torso part, so I could probably wear a blouse under it! If you are looking for a festive sweater that is good for laying and cool weather, this is the one for you!" —Soleil

They are great casual pants for work, and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it." —Nash

Promising review: "I needed a pair of shoes that are more on the dressy side, so I bought these. They're very cute...plus they're black, so they kinda go with everything. They're definitely good with a dress, and they do look more dressy than the other shoes I have, so I'm really happy with these shoes. They're also really comfortable. I was a little surprised by that, because they look stiff, but they're not stiff at all. They even came with pads for the back of your Achilles tendon (where shoes always rub and will give you blisters), but I didn't even use them yet, because they honestly don't really need them. They don't rub and hurt my feet, and they're very cute. Two thumbs up!" —TheKateExperience
