I'm Super Over My Closet RN—Here Are My Affordable Picks to Spruce It Up

Staying at home has made me realize one major thing: My closet is in desperate need of a revamp. Not that I don't have a lot of cute pieces I absolutely love, but I'm pretty sure I never wear a good chunk of what's in there. (In fact, my desk is set up right next to the door, so I'm constantly peeking in at the clothes I'm so over.)
After getting dressed for the (few) places I've started to venture out to this past week or so, I've been disappointed in what I've put together. You know the feeling when you just keep wearing the same thing over and over again? That's what I'm currently going through. Because I have an actual shopping addiction (and because it's my job to look for clothes online), I set out on a mission to find some affordable (you know I'm always balling on a budget) new things to spruce up my wardrobe. Keep scrolling to shop the major gems I found.
Pretty Tops
I'll wear anything with puff sleeves. This would look so good with some wide-leg white pants.
This flower pattern is adorable. I'll definitely be pulling this out for date night.
Dresses
This is so good in both colors.
I always need at least one black dress in my closet at all times. This one is super casual (and lightweight!) so I know I'll be getting a ton of use out of it.
I can go for anything with smock detailing. When it gets super hot here, this will definitely be the dress I turn to.
This is dressy enough to wear out to dinner (patios are starting to open up!), but casual enough to also wear around the house.
Beachwear
This color is so gorgeous.
Find the matching bottoms here.
I'm going back and forth between this color and the blue.
I've yet to try any of Monday Swimwear's pants (as you know, I'm obsessed with their swimwear), so this is going to be my first purchase.
Shoes
Looking for the perfect pair of flat, strappy sandals? I just found it.
Everything in my closet is about to be green, and I'm totally okay with that.
Bottoms
I can't even begin to tell you how comfortable these jeans are. (Yes, I said comfortable.)
I would do anything to wear these out to dinner on a tropical vacation right now, but on a walk in the park will do for now.
Accessories
I have white tube socks, but pink? These are definitely something to try.
