A Black Maxi for Every Season

We are half way through August and fall is just around the corner. Despite the new season being so close, it is still SO hot! Shopping this time of year can be hard because there are tons of cute new fall arrivals, but the temps need to drop a good 40 degrees to wear them! Lately, I have been on the hunt for pieces I can wear now and transition into cooler weather…bonus points if I can also wear it in the classroom!

The past few seasons, I have been perusing the Walmart site and finding the cutest options to update my wardrobe. I love that I can find clothing I feel good in, is flattering, and doesn’t break the bank! Walmart’s newest campaign, We Dress America, aligns with those same sentiments, offering clothing this is on trend, unique, inclusive and affordable.

One of my favorite recent purchases from Walmart is this black maxi. This is the ultimate maxi as it’s super flattering, has a sweet ruffle detailing and a sightly high lo hem line so it’s great for any height! The best part about this dress though? It’s a closet staple that can be worn from season to season.

Outfit 1: Dress // Bag // Sandals

I’ve been wearing this maxi now with sandals. It’s so easy breezy and is one of those pieces that can be thrown on and dressed up or down. It’s great for a day at the lake or a dinner date with the boo.

Outfit 2: Dress // Jacket // Sneakers

Pair this dress with a denim jacket and some sneaks and you’ve got an effortless weekend look. This combo is something I will wear on the weekends or in the classroom on a Friday! On another note, this denim jacket is another great closet staple! I love the wash of this one and the minimal distressing!

Outfit 3: Dress // Cardigan // Belt // Similar Booties // Bag

This is how I plan on wearing this maxi this fall in the classroom! Belted and topped off with a cardigan! This belt is a great, low key way to try out the snake print trend. I then added a cardigan for an extra layer and to dress things up a bit. This one is SO SOFT! Swap a lighter weight cardi out for something heavier as the temps drop.

Amazon Try On Haul – Finds Under $35

This weekend, I shared my first Amazon Haul via stories. This was a highly requested try on…who knew Amazon had so many amazing pieces?! All of them Amazon items I am sharing below are under $35. Most of these pieces are closet staples and can be worn year round. Stay tuned for another Amazon Haul coming your way soon! In the meantime, check out the try on haul on my stories if you missed it! It’s saved under TRY ONS.

Sweater // Bralette // Jeans // Slip on Sneakers, more animal print sneakers here

Sweater (Size: Small // Color: Lilac Grey // Price: $26): This sweater is perfectly oversized and one you will want to wear year round! It does run big, I am wearing a size small. This cutie looks great on or off the shoulder and is the perfect weight to wear into spring and summer!

Lace Bralette (Size: Small // Color: White // Price:$12.50):  I love a good bralette and this one is such a steal! At under $13, this piece is high quality and feels like it should be more expensive than it is. The lace on this bralette is SO pretty. I love that it has thicker straps too, making for the prettiest pop peeking underneath my tops.  The cups are padded, which was a nice surprise as many of my bralettes are not. This one comes in a bunch of colors and I will definitely be picking it up in a few more!

Bralette // Button Henley // Jeans

Button Henley (Size: Small // Color: Beige // Size: $25): I bought a few henley’s (see below), but this one was by far my favorite. I love the relaxed fit and that it’s a bit oversized. I ordered the beige color, but it definitely has a blush undertone which I LOVE!

Sweater // Jeans // Booties

Off the Shoulder Sweater (Size: S/M // Color: Khaki // Price: $27): This off the shoulder sweater is very oversized. I’m wearing the smallest size and it’s definitely on the larger side. However, I don’t mind and really love the oversized, slouchy fit! This is one that can be worn untucked or tucked in. If you are on the shorter side, this might even be worn as an off the shoulder sweater dress and would be so cute paired with OTK boots!

Henley Top // Jeans // White Sneakers

Henley Top (Size: Small // Color: Navy // Price: $20): This is the other henley top I mentioned that I bought. I ended up ordering this one in a few colors and really love the fit and length. This is another piece that comes in a ton of color options and you really can’t beat the $20 price tag! I’m wearing a small, but suggest sizing up if you want a looser, more oversized fit!

Fleece Pullover // Jeans // White Sneakers

Contrast Color Quarter Zip Fleece (Size: Small // Color: Light Grey // Price: $28): Hands down my FAVORITE Amazon purchase! I’ve had this fleece pullover since last year and it’s one of my most worn pieces. I reach for this cozy piece frequently, especially after a long day of work. I love the contrasting colors and that it’s fuzzy on the inside and out.

Pullover // Jeans // Slip on Sneakers

Casual Pullover Sweatshirt (Size: Small // Color: Dark Grey // Price: $24): A great crewneck pullover is a closet staple. This one is under $25 and is so easy to throw on! The split hem adds a flattering touch and the longer length is great for paring with leggings!

Distressed Sweater // Hat // White Skinnies // Booties

Distressed Sweater (Size: One Size // Color: Orange Pink // Price: $23): I know not everyone is a fan of this distressed sweater look, but I adore this one! The color is gorgeous for spring and summer and the distressed hem adds a fun touch. This sweater is quite a bit cropped, but pairs perfectly with high waisted bottoms. I can’t wait to wear this one in the summer with shorts! If you are not a fan of the cropped look, this is one you might want to skip out on!

Hat (Color: Camel // Price: $18): I’ve had this hat for awhile and completely forgot about it until recently. I’ve been wearing it so much lately! It’s under $18 and such a steal! Mine came with two bands, that can easily be changed out. It comes in a ton of colors and is the perfect piece to top off any outfit!

Long Sleeve Tee // White Skinnies // Booties

Long Sleeve Tee (Size: S 2-4 // Color: Gray // Price: $18): This long sleeve top fits even cuter than the photos! This is the gray option and I love the color! Online it looks slightly more green than it is, so please note that the gray color is actually a pretty dove gray. This top is longer in the back. It’s a closet staple that can be worn from season to season!

One Piece Swimsuit // Sandals

Leopard One Piece Swimsuit (Size: Small // Price: $30): If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I am a sucker for a cute suit! Even though it’s still FREEZING here, I’ve already picked up a few for the summer, and surprise, surprise, majority of them are leopard print. This suit is only $30 and I am obsessed! It comes with padding and the fit is pretty great. Moderate back coverage and really cute side cutouts.

Cover-up //Sandals

Cover Up (Color: Off White // Price: $19): I can’t get over this cover up! It is SO CUTE! The under $20 price tag makes this cutie such a steal! My one complaint is the sizing, as it is a one size piece. I love the pretty crochet detailing and that a bit of suit peeks through.

Affordable Fall Fashion with Walmart

Get the Look

With the changing seasons comes a need to spruce up my wardrobe and add some new pieces to the rotation. I love adding staples that I can mix and match, but I also love throwing in some of fall’s hottest trends. When shopping for fall this year, I spent some time browsing Walmart’s website and was so excited to discover a wide variety of affordable fall fashion options. Not only do they carry tons of cute and affordable options in their ‘Everyday Shop‘, but they now also offer premium brands through Lord & Taylor. I love that Walmart is a one stop shop for all things style, from closet classics to trendy seasonal items at a variety of price points!

When it comes to fall, all I want to wear are cardigans and scarves! While shopping, I eyed this cardigan and added it to my cart immediately. This cardigan is SO soft and comes in 6 different color options. I love the color and the balloon sleeves, but the under $20 price tag doesn’t hurt either. This is a closet staple that is perfect for layering this fall and winter! I have also been on the hunt for a scarf in this color combo, and was so excited to find this blanket scarf. I love the colors and think it will go with so many of my favorite fall cardigans and sweaters! I was surprised to find my FAVORITE brand of denim, Levi’s on the site as well and snagged this distressed pair immediately. They are so comfortable and I love the wash. They also have just the right amount of distressing!

While browsing the Walmart, I also stumbled across The It List, 10 trends to love this fall. I’ve been wanting a new backpack as this is a trend I have been obsessing over this season. It’s such a cute, yet functional alternative to a purse! I was so excited to see backpacks had made it as one of the top 10 categories! There were a ton of affordable fall options to choose from, but the moment I saw this option, I knew it would be the perfect fall bag. This backpack is roomy enough to hold all of my possessions. The ring closure on the front is a chic detail that reminds me of one of my favorite designers.

Here are a few more backpacks I am loving from The It List!
