Best Affordable Clothing For Fall! Target and Walmart Try on Haul - look expensive for less
Hey y’all I’m back with another fall styling blog, but this time with some really affordable pieces! I was at Target the other day picking up a few things, and as usual, somehow found myself in the clothing section (how does this always happen?!). They had all of their sweaters and fall pieces out, and I couldn’t help but be drawn to a few in particular. I went to check online to see what other colors they had, and noticed that these pieces look WAY better in person than online. I thought it would be fun to show you what these some more affordable offerings from Target and Walmart actually look like styled up, because let’s face it, the website photos are not doing these pieces justice.
I’m obsessed with the Walmart Free Assembly Women's Cable Knit Sweater, and this Target Crewneck Pullover Sweater! I’ve styled these pieces with some of my all time favorites like the Abercrombie Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean, and the Madewell The Poppy Tall Lugsole Boot. I hope this gives you some inspiration in your fall outfits and links to clothes that don’t break the bank!

Outfit 1
Top: Size Small in Tan, Pants: XS in Black
Outfit 1 features 1 of the two sweaters that forced (lol) me to do this haul. This Target Crewneck Cable Knit Pullover Sweater is the perfect tan color, with such beautiful detailing! I also found these Target High-Rise Tapered Ankle Knit Pull-On Pants, they are super comfortable and are a great dupe of the Everlane Dream Pant! I paired these pieces with my Madewell The Justine Ankle Boot and Everlane The Luxe Italian Leather Crossbody. I could see myself wearing this outfit a lot this fall!
Outfit 2
Top: XS in Maroon Crush, Pants: XS in Black
I’ve said it about 100 times already but I will keep saying it, Burgundy is the color of the season. I could not resist this Walmart Free Assembly Women's Cable Knit Sweater. Its a great cable knit fitted cardigan with the CUTEST crystal buttons! I love it paired with black like these J. Crew Quinn Square-Toe Mary jane flats, and the J. Crew Small Edie Top-handle bag in italian leather. I again have on the Target High-Rise Tapered Ankle Knit Pull-On Pants.
Outfit 3
Bodysuit: XS in Turkish Coffee, Cardigan: XS in Gray, Skirt: XS in Light Brown
This Walmart Seamless Mock Neck Bodysuit with long sleeves reminds me so much of the Aritzia Bodysuits, it’s such a great piece from Walmart! I matched the brown with the Dolce Vita Kristy Boots Chocolate Leather, and the Madewell The Sling Crossbody Bag in Leather. You can never have too many chunky cardigans, with this Target Cozy Knit Button-Down Cardigan being only $28, it’s the perfect find!
Outfit 4
Top: XS in Tan, Pants: 25 Short in Saturated Black
I have been loving a cropped button down, especially this Target Utility Long Sleeve Collared Button-Down Shirt. It’s a fall classic, and goes great with some denim like the Abercrombie Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean, and some boots like the Madewell The Dimes Kitten-Heel Boot. To finish off the look, I have the Madewell The Essential Sling Crossbody Bag!
Outfit 5
Shirt: XS in Dark Mauve, Jacket: XS in Kalamata, Pants: 25 short in saturated black
I love getting basics from Target like this Target Long Sleeve Henley Neck T-Shirt. It’s only $15 and SO soft! This Walmart Free Assembly Modern Utility Jacket is a great affordable utility jacket and can be thrown over anything! I love the oversized style of the jacket, you can also size down for a more fitted look. I paired it with the Abercrombie Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean, and the Madewell The Ingrid Chelsea Boot.
Outfit 6
Sweater: Size Small in Black, Shirt: Black in XS, Skirt: Size 4 in Gd Black
This might be the softest sweater i’ve ever felt. The Target Crewneck Pullover Sweater is so cozy and cute! I love pairing sweater with a turtle neck, like this Everlane The Luxe Rib Turtleneck, it’s a great way to add warmth to an outfit and is stylish! I styled it with the Aritzia The Supply Cargo Micro Skirt, and the Aritzia Pheobe Mini Bag.
Outfit 7
Cardigan: Size Medium in Maroon, Shirt: Black in XS, Skirt: Size 4 in Gd Black
Here is the other sweater that made me do this haul. I can’t get enough of the color red for fall - especially this Target Cozy Knit Cable Stitch Cardigan. It’s so soft and flattering and I cannot say enough good things about the cardigan! I sized up in this cardigan to give and oversized look! This red styled with black has been my go to color combination this fall, and it looks good every time! The Everlane The Luxe Rib Turtleneck and the Aritzia The Supply Cargo Micro Skirt are a great base. For accessories I have the Madewell The Poppy Tall Lugsole Boot, and the Quince Italian Leather handwoven Satchel.
Outfit 8
Sweater: Size Medium in Heather Dark Gray, Shirt: Size Small in White, Pants: Size 2 in Carney Black/Rich Mocha Brown
The common theme in this haul is not to trust the pictures you see online. This Walmart Free Assembly Half Zip Sweater with long sleeves is SUCH a great zip up in person and can be styled super cute. It reminds me of the Everlane The Half-Zip in Everyday Cotton. Hear me, that the quality of the Everlane sweater is incredible, but if that is just not in your budget this fall, this is a great alternative that won’t hurt the wallet as much! I have it on with Aritzia The Effortless Pant Cropped, and the Aritzia Emmer T-Shirt. To finish off the look with my favorite white sneakers, the Everlane The Court Sneaker.
Outfit 9
Cardigan: Size Small in Black Soot, Shirt: Size Small in White, Pants: Size 2 in Carney Black/Rich Mocha Brown
A black cardigan has been a staple in my fall wardrobe for years. This Walmart oversized V Neck Cardigan Sweater is a great affordable option. You can throw it on with skirts, denim, or trousers like these Aritzia The Effortless Pant Cropped. I styled this sweater with the Everlane The Court Sneaker, and the Aritzia Curator Bigger Bag.

Finding activewear that actually fits when you're petite is tricky, but luckily Lululemon seems to always have what I need! This haul has the perfect summer pieces for exercising or just running errands - petite approved (I’m 5’2). Plus this butter yellow color might be one of the best colors to wear in the summer!
