At this point in my life, there really isn't an article of clothing I "need" anymore. Just ask my roommate. But that doesn't mean I don't go off the rails every now and again and engage in a massive shopping frenzy. Usually, the items I end up buying are unnecessary but cute, and today, I'm going to share the 25 that made the cut. Do I need any of the items ahead? No, I don't. But can I live without them? Honestly, I'm not sure. 

Since most of us are currently spending time at home, I decided that for this round of "unnecessary but cute," I'm going to focus on items I am buying to feel more put together while working from home. I am lucky enough to have the privilege of continuing my work from the comfort of my own home, but even if that is not the case for you, it's my hope that mindlessly scrolling through a few cozy staples will help you to feel a little better amidst this odd time our world is in.
