Trust Me—Buy This is a series where editor at large Nicole Eshaghpour makes her favorite fashion finds shoppable for Who What Wear readers.

If you love to read product reviews before buying something, this one's for you. If you get especially excited when those blessed reviewers include pictures—because I know I do—then this is really up your alley. Today, I've rounded up not just some of my favorite pieces on the internet for the tail end of winter and the start of spring but also the ones I actually own and cannot stop wearing as of late. From shoes and jackets to dresses, the best basics, and more, the items below are pretty much a little highlight reel of everything you've seen in my shopping roundups over the last few months. I even included the photo evidence to prove my love for them. Speaking of which, consider this an official plea for everyone reading this to excuse the casual selfies I've snapped in my apartment in between two small children vying for my attention. 

With that out of the way, just keep scrolling to get started!

Starting off strong with this Jenni Kayne cardigan that took me way too long to buy. I can't believe I waited so long for this perfect sweater! Paired with it are my new baggy, but not too baggy, Levi's and the Reformation mules you've probably seen included in half my recent stories because they're just so good.

I took a chance on this COS blazer and am so glad I did. I'm always on the hunt for a cool top that's not a T-shirt but is also easy to wear, and when styled closed, this piece is exactly that.

As long as this tunic/dress is still in stock, I feel obligated to keep talking about it. Here, I paired it with my go-to sheer tights, but now that the weather is warming up, I can't wait to style it on its own partially unbuttoned or over a little skirt.

While there's a lot going on here, and I wish I could shop out my vintage jacket and jeans, the real reason for sharing this look was to put you on to my favorite tee, belt, and slingbacks.

My hunt for the perfect chore jacket finally ended when I remembered my husband had this one from Alex Mill! I love the corduroy collar, the slightly faded color, and the oversize fit. Consider it stolen!

I recently got the chance to personalized this L.L.Bean tote at a fashion event, and I can't tell you how obsessed I've become with it. Living in NYC with two kids, I find myself reaching for it most days when I leave the house. It fits so much yet isn't too big and is simply adorable!

Since buying it about a month ago, I've worn this leather jacket nearly every time I've gone out to dinner. It's just so easy to style with jeans, pants, and skirts, and once the weather warms up, I can't wait to wear it in the day, too.

I know it's impossible to see in this photo, but you just have to trust me when I tell you how cool this little jacket is. It's simple enough to wear with anything but full of little details that make it so much more interesting than your basic jacket or blazer.

On the jewelry front, my latest hobby has been collecting little charms for my DIY charm necklace, so below I'm including some of my recent favorites. Styled with it is an Aritzia top that I actually preordered several months in advance, so now that it's finally in stock I suggest you all act fast!

I got this leather minidress for an event, and now that I've worn it, I'm literally thinking about throwing a party of my own just for an excuse to wear it again ASAP.

Closing it out in my truest casual form, behold my trusty Reformation cardigan and Birkenstocks. If you're wondering what I really wear *most* days, it's something along these lines.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
