22 Under-$40 Buys That Will 100% Level-Up Your Wardrobe

Welcome to the late-summer outfit slump. It’s that awkward time of the season where the clothes we’ve worn nonstop over the last few months start to feel tired, but with plenty of hot weather still to come, it’s not quite the time to start shopping for fall yet. If you find yourself in this boat, I feel you. So instead of making a big investment in something you’ll have to wait until next summer to wear again, I’ve sourced a number of pieces that will quickly refresh your wardrobe and have you leveling-up your outfits—thanks to our namesake line of clothing.

If you’re nodding along, then let’s get into it. I’ve found 22 pieces with pretty florals, bold animal prints, and eye-catching silhouettes that are guaranteed to wake up your closet. What’s even better is that none of them ring up for more than $40, so feel free to peruse each dress, skirt, and top to buy and wear now. Scroll through the below shopping edit and get inspired by outfit imagery along the way—oh, and thank me later.
