Our Editors Are Shopping Experts—29 Things I Bought Because They Told Me To
It's no secret that our editors are shopping experts. Putting together the hundreds of stories we publish weekly means that we shop a lot so that we can constantly bring you the coolest picks from around the internet. In fact, one of my favorite steps in my morning routine (aside from coffee) is sitting down to thumb through each of my fellow editors' stories on our homepage, and more often than not, I find myself adding things to my cart that they've recommended.
I actually keep tabs on my favorites by hitting the heart icon on the product images when I'm scrolling through the site. (PS: If you're not already part of The List, you can sign up to tap into our "favorites" feature and start saving the products you like, too.) I got to thinking recently that a significant portion of my latest buys have been inspired by items I've spotted in Who What Wear stories, and I figured I'd share. Scroll down to see everything in my personal favorites list that I've been influenced to try thanks to our editors.
Lauren suggested this is the perfect throw-on dress for running errands, and I couldn't agree more.
