Money May Not Bring Happiness, But This Shopping List Is Making Me Feel Things

Sometimes, I get so caught up in searching products for particular details of a story—like the best basics or certain trends—that I forget to just peruse through sites and pick out what I like, no strings attached. As the weather gets warmer, I've been on the lookout for fun items that simply make me happy and ones that I know I'll get major wear out of simply for that reason. After months of halting my spending and only investing in loungewear, I'm ready to add a dose of extra to my wardrobe, and my shopping list below reflects exactly that. Of course, I don't have the funds to buy everything, so I'm relaying all the items I've been eyeing in case something piques your interest. Sharing is caring, right?

Keep on scrolling for funky prints, glass jewelry, beaded handbags, and plenty more items that will be bringing in the compliments like there's no tomorrow. Simply creating this list brought joy to my fashion-loving heart, so I hope it brings the same to you reading it.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
