Having a wardrobe full of basics is hardly a problem. It means you'll always have something to wear because much of what you own goes with everything. But sometimes you just want something fun, colorful, and, well, non-basic to wear with your multitude of tees, jeans, leggings, and sensible shoes. That's where we come in.

And when you're not going to wear said items as much as your basics, why spend a ton? So in addition to being fun, these 29 items are also quite affordable.
