I'm Super Over My Closet RN—Here Are My Affordable Picks to Spruce It Up

by Anneliese Dominguez

Staying at home has made me realize one major thing: My closet is in desperate need of a revamp. Not that I don't have a lot of cute pieces I absolutely love, but I'm pretty sure I never wear a good chunk of what's in there. (In fact, my desk is set up right next to the door, so I'm constantly peeking in at the clothes I'm so over.)

After getting dressed for the (few) places I've started to venture out to this past week or so, I've been disappointed in what I've put together. You know the feeling when you just keep wearing the same thing over and over again? That's what I'm currently going through. Because I have an actual shopping addiction (and because it's my job to look for clothes online), I set out on a mission to find some affordable (you know I'm always balling on a budget) new things to spruce up my wardrobe. Keep scrolling to shop the major gems I found.

Topshop Shirred Peplum Camisole

Topshop Shirred Peplum Camisole ($28)

Google "pretty top," and you will find a picture of this.

BB Dakota Smock On By Tee

BB Dakota Smock On By Tee ($49)

An upgrade to your basic white tee.

Astr the Label Darling Sheer Puff Sleeve Thong Bodysuit

Astr the Label Darling Sheer Puff Sleeve Thong Bodysuit ($78)

I'll wear anything with puff sleeves. This would look so good with some wide-leg white pants.

Mango Knit Halter Top

Mango Knit Halter Top ($40)

An easy way to elevate a casual look.

& Other Stories Front Tie Top

& Other Stories Front Tie Top ($49)

This flower pattern is adorable. I'll definitely be pulling this out for date night.

H&M Linen Dress

H&M Linen Dress ($40)

I always need at least one black dress in my closet at all times. This one is super casual (and lightweight!) so I know I'll be getting a ton of use out of it.

Forever 21 Flounce Smocked Mini Dress

Forever 21 Flounce Smocked Mini Dress ($25)

I can go for anything with smock detailing. When it gets super hot here, this will definitely be the dress I turn to.

H&M Airy Dress

H&M Airy Dress ($20)

I'm taking this dress straight to sunset drinks (even if that's just on my balcony).

Faithfull the Brand Iris Floral-Print Crepe Mini Dress ($159)

This is dressy enough to wear out to dinner (patios are starting to open up!), but casual enough to also wear around the house.

Jade Swim Lido Top

Jade Swim Lido Top ~~( $110)~~ $66

This color is so gorgeous.

Find the matching bottoms here.

Monday Swimwear Barbados Top

Monday Swimwear Barbados Top ($84)

I'm going back and forth between this color and the blue.

Tavik Swimwear Tabitha Dress

Tavik Swimwear Tabitha Dress ($85)

I've been on the hunt for a good tie-dye coverup.

Monday Swimwear Tahiti Pant

Monday Swimwear Tahiti Pant ($129)

I've yet to try any of Monday Swimwear's pants (as you know, I'm obsessed with their swimwear), so this is going to be my first purchase.

Mango Heel Leather Mules

Mango Heel Leather Mules ($80)

How could I possibly say no to these?

Marc Fisher Ltd. Marg Sandal

Marc Fisher Ltd. Marg Sandal ~~( $110)~~ $66

Looking for the perfect pair of flat, strappy sandals? I just found it.

Everything in my closet is about to be green, and I'm totally okay with that.

I can't even begin to tell you how comfortable these jeans are. (Yes, I said comfortable.)

AG The Nikki Short

AG The Nikki Short ($168)

These shorts will pair perfectly with all my new pretty tops.

Mango Tropical Print Pants

Mango Tropical Print Pants ($60)

I would do anything to wear these out to dinner on a tropical vacation right now, but on a walk in the park will do for now.

Staud Moon Bag

Staud Moon Bag ~~( $295)~~ $118

I need to grab this before it goes back to its regular price.

Cult Gaia Cora Shoulder Bag

Cult Gaia Cora Shoulder Bag ($158)

This is so summery and looks like it fits just about everything I need.

These are an easy (and affordable) way to elevate my everyday hoops.

I've never seen an organza bucket hat before, but I'm so into it.
