5 Hours Later, I'm Genuinely Shocked at How Many Elegant Items I Found on Amazon for Prime Day

To be real with you all, I'm not the biggest Amazon shopper. Some people I know spend hours scrolling through the retailer's app, scouring every crevice of its thousands and thousands of products in search of a steal. I respect it—I just don't often follow their lead. When Prime Day rolls around, however, I turn up my editor skills to maximum power to find the very best of what's being dramatically and temporarily red-marked. Shopping is my greatest skill and the area of focus that I'm most willing to put in the work for, so even if I'm not on Amazon 365 days a year, I'll score some elite deals. Even better, I'll share them.

I'm not always on the site, so when I went digging through the contents of the sale this year, I was noticeably shocked to find so many elegant fashion items. I usually think of Amazon Prime Day as being the perfect opportunity to stock up on household essentials, but no, you can also snag some seriously chic pieces for next to nothing during the markdown event. To prove it, I rounded up 28 elevated and sophisticated discoveries, all of which are just a scroll away. Enjoy.
