Affordable Fall Pieces That Add Instant Style

1. Half-Zip Sweater

If you love the look of a classic half zip but want something even more elevated, this sweater is such a good find! It has the familiar feel of a cozy pullover, but it has extra details like ribbing along the collar and chest and a decorative pull that looks like a stone, which makes it look so much more polished!

This sweater really upgrades your everyday casual outfits while allowing you to still be super comfortable and casual. Comes in light grey, a pretty light pink, and in a dark olivey-grey, HERE. I’m wearing size S.

2. Polished but Comfortable Flare Jeans

These flares are well-loved by the PMT community, and for good reason! They’re really stretchy butstill sturdy and supportive, so you feel held in while staying really comfortable.

The darker wash and structured silhouette instantly make outfits look more polished and elevated, even when paired with basics. And the best part? They’re only $31.99!!! Available in several washes HERE. I’m wearing size 6.

3. Barn Jacket

Are you wearing a barn jacket this season? They’re totally in right now, and this one is such a great, affordable option! It’s an updated, modern take on a utility jacket, complete with a really dark green corduroy collar that adds a subtle, stylish touch. I love that the darker collar makes it easier to pair with more outfits — it adds interest without being too bold. It’s only $39.99 right now and can be found HERE! I’m wearing size S.

4. Plaid Flannel Shirt

Plaid has been and will always be a fall staple. If you’re looking to update yours, this flannel shirt is really good for the season! The fabric is thick, soft, and warm and has just the right amount of structure so it looks polished but doesn’t feel stiff. It instantly adds a pop to your outfit and makes you look more styled with almost no effort. It comes in LOTS of colors, which you can see HERE. I’m wearing size S.

5. Printed Blouse

A printed blouse is one of the easiest ways to give your outfit an instant style upgrade! This one has been a longtime favorite because it works just as well with jeans as it does with dress pants for work. New prints are always being added, and right now it comes in two solid colors and four fun prints.

This burgundy floral is perfect for the season — burgundy is everywhere this fall — and there’s also a brand new black floral print that’s begging to be paired with yellow or red for the CUTEST outfits! These blouses make it so easy to look polished and pulled together. See all the colorways HERE! I wear size S.

6. Stretchy Wide Leg Jeans With Front Pockets

These wide leg jeans are such an affordable way to try out of-the-moment styles, like the trouser-style cut with front pockets that instantly gives outfits a fresh, modern look. They’re really stretchy and comfortable but still supportive. And if you’ve been on the hunt for jeans with more length, these are a great option. And, they’re just $31.99 right now! They’re available in short, regular, and long inseams and in several washes, HERE. I’m wearing size 6.

7. Quarter Zip Fleece Pullover

This fleece will transform your super casual outfits! If you want to feel comfy but still look put together, this makes it effortless. The collared neckline and quarter zip add just the right amount of structure, giving off a more polished, refined vibe, even though you’re basically wearing a lightweight, cozy fleece!

It’s SUPER SOFT and COZY, but it’s lightweight and doesn’t feel bulky at all. It’s an easy go-to option for casual days that you can pair with leggings, like I’m doing here, and with jeans! It’s available in 4 colorways, including olive, pink, black, and this season’s hot color, brown. And, it’s just $23.99, HERE! I’m wearing size S.

8. Flare Leggings

Flare leggings have been a game-changer for me! You still get all the comfort and ease of traditional leggings, but the flared silhouette instantly makes your outfit look more modern and stylish — without any extra effort. 🙌🏽

I’ve only had a pair of flare leggings that’s fleece-lined and have been on the hunt for a pair that’s not too thin (especially for everyday wear). THESE ARE THE WINNERS! They’re soft and comfortable but also feel supportive — not flimsy. And they’re only $18.39! See them HERE. I’m wearing size M.

9. Sneakers

If you’re looking for a new pair of sneakers for athleisure, light exercise, and everyday wear with jeans, my sneakers are on major sale! Don’t underestimate how crucial stylish sneakers are to elevating your casual outfits. Find my sneakers in several colorways HERE.

These are the kinds of better-than-basic essentials that have just enough special touches to make you look polished and pulled together, without any extra effort! AND, they’re all really affordable and really good, so you can add extra style to your outfits this fall without breaking the bank.
