29 Random But Useful Items I Actually Own and Think You Might Like Too
Although I do make impulse purchases from time to time (like the orange Zara dress I ordered in bed at 2 a.m. last night), most of what I buy is well-thought-out. I've made too many regrettable purchases in my adult years to have it any other way. When deciding what my closet needs, I really evaluate my lifestyle, my existing wardrobe, and whether the price makes the longevity of the item worth it. In other words, is it useful?
We all have a collection of random fashion items in our closets. They're not all useful, but I'm here to talk about the ones that are. From my favorite not-too-short denim shorts to the bodysuit I wear over and over to the carry-on duffle I can't travel without, this random assortment of items has seen me through many occasions. Shop them below in case you're curious and like random but useful things as much as I do.
With its pretty scoop back and luxurious material, this timeless bodysuit is an essential.
I love denim shorts, but I'm over super-short pairs. These are the perfect length and fit.
I just bought my first cardholder, and I'm confused by what took me so long. I no longer have to waste time trying to stuff all of my essentials into my bags now that my wallet has shrunk considerably.
This is the perfect leather blazer, hands down. Even though I've owned it for over a year now, I still get excited to wear it.
These are the most comfortable shorts I own, which is why I wear them often.
I don't remember the last time I took a trip without this bag. It is the perfect size, has lots of handy pockets, and is very sturdy.
I discovered this scrunchie in the kid's section and bought it immediately. It costs far less than most designer accessories.
I literally tell everyone to buy these compression socks. They're that good.
I got this jacket pretty recently, and I'm not sure what took me so long. It's shocking how lightweight yet warm it is.
I just got this shirt, but it's already the best white button-down I've ever owned.
These legendary Birkenstocks are the perfect casual shoes for the house, the beach, and beyond.
Completedworks makes the most beautiful pearl earrings. They make every outfit seem more special.
I know that the cold weather is ending for now, but this is such a good black sweater.
Lisa Says Gah makes the cutest iPhone cases. I've been using mine for well over a year.
Everyone always talks about the crew socks, but I prefer these low ones for working out.
I wanted to know what all the hype over On Cloud sneakers was about, so I got a pair. I get it now.
Once I discovered that this is the world's best sleeping shirt, I bought it in multiple colors.
Speaking of sleeping, these pajamas are as good as sets that are triple the price.
This genius dress can be worn in four different ways, and all of them are chic.
This brand makes my favorite Pilates socks. (Net-a-Porter agrees that they're great.)
I just ordered one of these pretty leashes for my puppy after seeing Emily Ratajkowski using it.
I bought this logo swimsuit last summer, and I still think about how chic and comfortable it is.
