I Can't Stop Wearing These 3 Boring Yet Reliable Amazon Items (All Under $45)
Right now, I'm stuck in that awkward time between seasons where I'm not quite ready to get out of my lightweight floral frocks but am eyeing fall pieces. I have, however, been leaning on trusty layers that I can throw over practically everything I own. There are three items that I consider perfect in-between-season layers that I've been wearing nonstop lately—easy to throw on with my sweats, jeans, or comfy dresses for my daily walks and errands.
To be perfectly honest, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about these pieces. You may even call them "boring." But they are solid, reliable items I can turn to time and again when I need to throw something easy over a top and jeans. They're also perfect pieces to take me seamlessly into spring. So if you're looking for some dependable pieces to help you navigate through this tricky transitional time, take a peek below at my go-to layers (all under $45!) and shop more of the items I have my eye on right now from Amazon.
Boy, do I love this puffer vest! I throw it on over everything—from tees to sweaters and dresses—for that extra layer of warmth. It's nice quality, soft, and cozy. It also gets rave reviews on Amazon. It's the perfect "boring" yet reliable piece you'll wear on repeat.

I love a utility jacket, and this slightly oversize one from Amazon's private label Goodthreads has been my go-to lately. It comes in four versatile colors and is perfect for the spring months ahead. The standup collar feels cool, and the medium-weight fabric is good for protecting against the wind. Plus, it goes with everything.

Perfect for all seasons, this cable-knit cardigan is the ideal layering piece to throw on over tees and dresses alike. It's lightweight yet warm, and it feels super soft and looks way more expensive than its price tag.
