I’ve been on a no-buy streak for a few months now, but I'm itching to break it with a splurge. My coworkers' outfits are responsible for this growing urge (and I was doing so well on saving up). They each have such immaculate taste. Every time I pass them in the office, I can’t help but admire their outfits, and I always end up asking where they bought something. So lately, they have me dreaming of the next piece I'll invest in. Perhaps a bag, maybe a new pair of shoes to wear throughout summer? The possibilities are endless, but unfortunately, my bank account is not, which is why I want to invest in long-lasting, chic, and timeless fashion items, and I’ve enlisted the help of my coworkers to share their recent worth-it wish lists with me.
Instead of gatekeeping for myself, I’m sharing with you. Keep scrolling to shop all the latest worth-it fashion items my cool coworkers are investing in this summer.

"The sneaker–ballet flat hybrid is taking over in a major way, and I'm all in! I wore these during my 12-day Europe trip, and I returned without a blister. They're comfy yet stylish and create a breeding ground for compliments and conversation."

"I’ve been eyeing this top because it’s reminiscent to me of that viral Ralph Lauren spring/summer collection that I see all over Pinterest."
"Some girls collect shoes and purses, but sunglasses are my vice. I can never have enough oversize sunnies. These Jimmy Fairly ones have caught my eye because I love that it’s not your classic aviator style."
"I have to admit I already own the Cou Cou Intimates Rina top in black and white, but I can’t get enough of it. I want it in gray and pink! It’s so flattering for a short girl like me (5'2"). I don’t have a long torso, but the curved edge I find flattering, and it shows the perfect amount of skin."

"I'm obsessed with Flore Flore's 3/4 sleeve T-shirts, especially in the funkier statement colors. This vibrant raspberry top would look so cute with white satin pants or a pair of chocolate-colored board shorts."
"When one of our editors sent these in our chat and five of us scrambled to talk about how good they were, I knew Chan Luu was on to something. These taffeta silk pants have been the object of my affection these past few days, and I'm scheming on all the million ways I could wear them this spring and summer."
"Pastels! For spring! Not groundbreaking, but they sure do look good. Fashion people have been playing with colorful denim over the last few weeks, according to all of the great outfits I see on Instagram, and this pretty pale-pink shade is the dream hue for me to wear with my favorite gray cardigan and pointelle tank top."
