Promising review: "I am100% satisfied walking out with them. They're fitting me like the designer made it exclusively for me. I returned the mom jeans I got from American Eagle. I wanted to have a pair of mom jeans that fit me perfectly like this for a long time. I went to big brand boutiques and thrift stores to find a jeans like this.

They're fleece-lined too, so that is just a bonus in comfortable land! Love, love, love them — I got a size 3X and they fit perfectly!

Behold, I found these and they are magical! They have such a lovely cushion and the sides of the shoes are so supportive. Last but not least, they look great on my feet." —Sarah Harris

We're talking full support, adjustable straps, and super-soft fabric so your skin can breathe!
Promising review: ""I am in love with this bra! It looks just like the picture — beautiful! No more ripping my bra off when I get home! I have had it on for six hours today and I forgot I had it on! I have been searching for a bra like this my whole life, even spending up to $100 at Nordstrom and Lane Bryant, and even after getting measured by the 'expert,' my bra still sat in my drawer after one wear. I am going to get a different color every payday! I actually got a little teary-eyed, that is how frustrated I had been with bras!" —Sjh

Promising review: "The cut is nice, the bottom is loose and flowy, the sleeves don't cut into my arms, and the neck line falls far enough from my neck that I don't feel like I'm choking. PLUS, the material is amazingly soft and good quality (not see-through at all)." —Ashley

36. A pair of velvet-y, snakeskin cowboy boots with unique flame detailing that'll upgrade your entire wardrobe without setting your bank account on fire (or dealing with aching soles).

Get it from Nordstrom for $14.49 (originally $29; available in sizes S–XXL and three colors).
38. A jersey turtleneck for having an incredibly comfy staple that you'll never get sick of — wear it under blazers, sweaters, alone...you get it.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this jersey. It is so silky — there is no friction when worn layered. I bought one to see if I would like it and and today I ordered eight more. Check out the prices! For me, I bought them mainly to wear this winter with something cozy over them. In the past I have spent up to $50 on jerseys not even this soft. These are well-made." —Cheyenne
Get it from Amazon for $16.50 (available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors).
39. A pair of high-waisted leggings so you join the reviewers who RAVE that these are every bit as soft (if not softer!) than high-end leggings — including LuLaRoe and Lululemon! Welcome to year-long snuggles for your bum.
AND reviewers swear they're not see-through (even when you squat)!
Promising review: "Let me start by saying that I never take the time to write reviews — and I purchase half of everything we buy on Amazon. However, as a former LuLaRoe-obsessed mom, I felt compelled to make time to review these leggings. If you are reading this and wondering how these compare to LLR leggings, I am here to tell you I am confident LLR is ripping loyal customers off by charging $25-30+. These leggings are just as soft. They fit the same, if not better. They do NOT PILL if you wash cold and hang dry. I truly feel like I’m wearing 'butter leggings'. The price is obviously better and more fair in my opinion." —Jen Wolfe
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two size ranges: S–L and XL–3X and 23 colors).
40. A sleeveless turtleneck, because this'll make you go soft and let it out of the closet whenever it wants.
Get it from ModCloth for $39.99 (originally $45; available in sizes XXS–4X and three colors).
41. A plaid shirt dress that'll create a frequent pattern of compliments whenever you show this off. AND you'll be unbeatably comfortable the whole time — unreal.
Promising review: "OMG, this is so cute. I am a size 14 so XL would've been perfect fit, but I wanted to have that looser look like the model so got a size XXL. I pulled it off perfectly. I wore this to a concert in December in Chicago with just high riding boots and it was a true thick flannel: not cheap material at all. I got tons of compliments and one person told me this goes for $65 in boutiques — I told her check out Amazon LOL. The colors are vibrant, it keeps me warm, the pattern lines up nicely, and is perfect for a girl's night out to an Xscape concert." —news u can use
Get it from Amazon for $19.88+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 colors).
42. A cozy blanket scarf for adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to any jacket. PLUS you'll be up to your *neck* in emotions when you're constantly swaddled by this soft hero.
