THE emergence of autumn calls for pulling out all the stops – flannels, chunky knits, knee-high boots, and warm colors to name a few.
A fan of retailer Walmart has shared some of her favorite under-$40 finds that will help complete your wardrobe this fall.
"Fall has officially arrived at Walmart, and today I have some fantastic new fashion finds to share with you," Sara Jane began in a YouTube uploaded to her 598k subscribers.
"I love clothes, but by far my most favorite kinds of clothes are fall clothes, and it's even better when they're budget friendly. So that's exactly what I have for you guys today.
"Everything is going to be at a price point of $40 and under, except for one little splurge item at the end of this video, but it is really good. But I thought I would start with one of my most favorite things, and that’s boots."
She continued: "Walmart has a bunch of brand new boots for fall and I'll start with these beautiful by Madden NYC."
Sara said the $40 boots run true to size, are super comfortable, have a comfort foam insole, and are very easy to get in and out of thanks to the zip closure on the inside.
They can be paired with some jeans or your favorite leggings. "They're just really pretty boots and a great wardrobe staple," Sara said.
Next up were the ($34.98 ). The "gorgeous boots"; feature rhinestone detailing around the outside.
"It’s not overdone, it's very subtle. It's just enough to catch the lights and I think these are super fun. These boots come in two different colors, a black, and a white, and they have a memory foam footbed and a side zipper, and I do find that these run true to size."
If you aren't a fan of rhinestone detailing and want more of a basic Chelsea boot, Sara suggested another Time and Tru option – the ($29.98).
The classic boot comes in three different colors – black, grey, and tan. According to the fashion enthusiast, they're "really comfortable."
"They have a memory foam footbed, they run true to size, and they will go with almost any fall outfit you can think of," Sara said.
The fashionista highlighted another boot style that she's fond of.
"Every year, Time and Tru comes out with a new hiker boot, and I always get a pair because I always find them to be so incredibly cute, and I feel like they keep getting better every single year.
"And this is what they look like this year."
She showed off the ($29.98), which come in three different colors – black, off-white, and brown.
"The faux fur detailing on these boots is just really well done and so soft, and I love the plaid laces. And again, these are just really comfortable.
"They do feature a memory foam footbed. Time and Tru are just really good about that with their shoes, and they just about always put that memory foam on the inside."
The next pair of boots Sara highlighted, some , are also by Time and Tru. They are $34.98 and feature a stacked block heel which "isn't too high."
"It's only a two-inch heel which I really like. And one thing I will say about these is they run small, so I ordered my normal size 9, and they're pretty snug. So my recommendation with these is to size up," Sara advised.
The boots are available in three different colors – black, emerald, and taupe.
Next was another pair of slouch boots by Time and Tru – .
"They are also $34.98. They also feature a stacked block heel that is just two inches tall. And can I just say that I really appreciate that the heels are not too tall in these boots, because it just makes them so much more practical for everyday wear.
"It's just nice to know that you can be fashionable and not be in pain walking around. These do seem to run more true to size than the previous ones that I shared, and they are also available in black, and you can pair them with leggings or jeans, or even a pretty fall dress."
Sara moved on to some of her most loved clothing finds from Walmart.
"Ok, so next is one of my favorite Walmart tops. I've been wearing this so much since I bought it, and it's this plaid shirt by No Boundaries.
"I did get this in a size large, so my recommendation is to size up with this. It’s $14.98 and there are a couple of different patterns to choose from, but you of course, in the fall, can't go wrong with any plaid shirt. And this is a really good one, especially this green shade.
"I just think it's the perfect plaid shirt. For under $15, you just can't beat it."
The much-needed fall staple is the .
Next, Sara covered another top that she believes is a closet must-have – the .
"Now, if there is one top to buy in this entire haul it is this one. It is by Time and Tru, it's $15.98, [and] it comes in four different colors."
Sara described the top as "so soft" and "so cozy."
She ordered it in a size large, though she is typically a size medium.
She usually likes her fall clothes to be a little bit more baggy and oversized.
"This is a tunic length top so it's a little bit longer in the back making it great to wear over leggings, and I'm telling you that it's something you will wear over and over again."
Sara moved on to another top that is a great wardrobe staple to have this fall, a by Time and Tru that's just $13.98.
"It comes in four different colors, and this one is also very comfortable.
"And again, I did size up to a large, and if I did have to recommend a color in this I would have to say go with the black, because you will get so much wear out of it.
"And I think everyone needs a basic black tunic in their fall wardrobe."
Next, Sara talked about a particular style of top that she keeps on hand.
"Every year, Walmart comes out with these waffle knit tops, and this one is updated to be a bit more trendy," she said referring to the ($13.98).
"So it does have puff sleeves, but they aren't overdone. They're just enough to give you a fashionable style without making you feel like you're making a fashion statement, if that makes sense?
"I don't know, some of the puffy sleeves I've seen can get a little too puffy, and if you're someone who can pull that look off that is great. I'm just not one of them."
Sara also raved about a $29.98 by Time and Tru.
"I went with a size large in this and I think it looks really nice. So you could go with more fitted, or go with it oversized like this.
"I love that this has pockets, and the cinnamon spice color is just everything. It's the perfect fall color, and it also comes in a really pretty green color too."
If you're into animal print, Sara has got you covered with the ($18.98).
"I feel like animal print is always in style. It's truly a timeless trend, and animal print is expected to be a big thing this fall. What I love about this blouse is you can dress it up, or dress it down.
"I did buy it in a size large, and it feels really silky and smooth against your skin."
To finish up, Sara talked about an item that's a bit pricier than the previous ones highlighted.
"And last but not least, I did want to throw a little splurge item into this video just because I think these boots are really great and worth a mention.
"They are these . They are $56, and to me, they look like they would be so much more expensive than that.
"And they have a three-and-a-half inch block heel, and a memory foam insole. They're really nice quality. They're easy to walk in and they have tie-backs at the top so they will stay up and not fall down.
"And you can wear these of course on their own with a dress, or [pair] these with by Time and Tru.
"These are amazing leggings and they'll definitely be a big trend this fall."
