I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. Promising review: "I love these dresses, so I bought five. They are very comfortable and look good too, and I have had several compliments. Also, you can't beat the price. They are great for summer." —sharon Price: $14.59+ (originally $19.39+; available in sizes S–XL and nine colors/patterns) Promising review: "Great! True to size! Comfy!" —Anne Price: $18.99 (available in sizes M–XXL and five colors) Promising review: "I love this jacket! The pockets are very roomy, and I love zipping or snapping up the front. It's versatile and nicely constructed." —ELVIS555 Price: $38.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors) Promising review: "This price is a great deal. It's quick-drying fabric, ideal for summer." —Hilda Price: $7.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 29 colors) Promising review: "Never thought I could wear a tube top, but this little number has changed that for me. It is such a cute dress, and it works because the 'tube' or the gathering runs all the way down to my waist rather than flaring out under my bust. The result is that the top looks fitted and it then flares out to a full skirt below the waist." —Walmart customer Price: $15.24+ (available in sizes S–3X and 14 colors/patterns) Promising review: "I do not even know where to start. Hands-down, this purse is absolutely gorgeous. Well-made. It's so soft inside; it's giving luxury on a budget." —Nae Price: $26.99+ (originally $49.99; available in 10 colors) Promising review: This showed up yesterday, and I already love it. Very cozy and I love the color. It is slightly large in my opinion, but that works well for a cardigan. It has pockets large enough for my phone, and the weaving is nice. Overall love it, might get it in another color. —NellNell Price: $25.99+ (originally $32.99; available in sizes S–XXL and seven colors) Promising review: "Lifesaver! I hate it when my legs chafe when wearing certain pants. These absolutely take care of that issue for me! They're nice and thin. They're comfortable for all-day wear. I purchased several to be able to wear daily if needed!" —Walmart customer Price: $11.94 (available in sizes S–5X and four colors) Promising review: "I loved this dress so much, I purchased it in FIVE colors. It is comfortable, chic, easy to wash/wear, goes with everything, and the PRICE was GREAT." —Colleen Price: $9+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and seven colors) And at that price, we'll take five, thanks. Promising review: "I love these shorts, especially the big pockets, and the light fabric. They are perfect for my subtropical summers." —Yipp Price: $14.39+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and 19 colors/patterns) Promising review: "The material is smooth and comfortable. It is wrinkle-free straight from the dryer!" —Jill Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and five colors) Promising review: "These are the best summer flip-flops! These are extremely comfy with great support! Super cute and you are able to wear these with a cute summer dress or dress down with shorts and a T-shirt! I want to get these in black!" —Rachael Price: $11.99 (originally $19.99; available in sizes 6–12 and four colors) Price: $14.99 (originally $28; available in sizes XS–4X and six colors/patterns) Promising review: "This dress is very pretty. The bonus are the pockets!" —Angela Price: $24.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and three colors/patterns) Promising review: "Love this cotton dress with cotton lining! It is not see-through, and I don't have to wear a bra or slip. Perfect for hot Texas summer weather." —Yesitsreallyme Price: $8.22+ (originally $36; available in sizes XS–4X and four colors/patterns) Promising review: "I wear size 12–14. The XL is absolutely perfect. For the cost, this is a great deal. The wrap is a lighter material and quite pretty." —Judi Price: $17.99+ (originally $42.99, available in sizes S–XL and 14 colors/patterns) Promising review: "This dress is precious! Crisp cotton material and well-stitched hem. Nice stretch through bodice. I'm 5' 2” and like the above-knee length." —Walmart customer Price: $7.91 (originally $28; available in sizes S–XXL) Promising review: "These have been the best swim shorts I have found! I do water aerobics, so I don't like floating pockets and bulk. They are true to size and the best value I have found." —Lenore Price: $11.89 (available in sizes S–4XL and 16 colors/patterns) Price: $41.40 (originally $69; available in sizes 6–11 and in two colors) Price: $30.39 (available in sizes 1X–6X and 12 colors) Price: $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors) Promising review: "Great quality shoes and they are very comfortable. Easy to slip on and off." —Jessica Price: $17 (originally $29; available in sizes 6–11) Promising review: "Good size for short people like me, they are a little bit wide from the bottom, since I'm short, they are perfect pants." —Vicky Price: $16.97 (available in sizes S–XXL and five colors) Promising review: "A very good buy. Nice fit with just the right amount of 'extra room' that I like in a rain jacket, so that it fits over a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt. Color is sufficiently muted so as not to be garish but not dull enough to look faded. The hood is nice, and it has an easy zipper." —deni Price: $16.88 (originally $28.99; available in sizes S–3XL and eight colors) Promising review: "These are so comfy for indoor and outdoor. They are one of my favorite things to wear on my feet. Good quality and comfortable." —Deborah Price: $26.99 (originally $34.99; available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors) Promising review: "I like the style of these so much, I just wish they had a high-waisted version! I got them in all the colors since the price is so good. I personally like to wear cropped tops though and feel weird about my belly button showing (LOL, definitely a me thing), but if you don't mind mid-rise, these are great." —Ashley Price: $12.98 (available in sizes 00–20 and four washes) Promising review: "I absolutely love these shorts! They are perfect to wear in spring and summer, or even as pajama shorts. The fabric is so soft and comfortable! I definitely recommend getting yourself a pair of these." —Jessica Price: $12.99+ (originally $24.99; available in sizes S–XXL and five colors) Promising review: "This skirt is simple yet fashionable with the eyelet detail at the bottom. The silhouette pairs well with everything. The feel and fabric are really nice, and very good quality." —Jennifer Price: $9.90+ (originally $24.98; available in sizes XS–XXXL and in two colors) * If You Work In An Office, Here Are 27 Things You Can Wear When It’s Basically Too Hot Out For Clothes * Plus-Size Reviewers Are Obsessed With These 32 Fashion Pieces — And They're All Under $100 * Pieces Your Friends Will Be Longing To Borrow * Fashion Pieces So You Can Feel Free, Flowy, And Fabulous This Summer * Pieces That Check All The Best Summer Boxes: Breezy, Lightweight, And Colorful * If You Detest Shorts With Every Fiber Of Your Being, Try These 27 Lightweight Pants Instead Plus, finds from Lane Bryant, Madewell, Nordstrom, Quince, Target, and Walmart.
