So last week I professed my love and undying devotion for this $40 set. Click HERE to see the entire post, and I’m telling you, GRAB THE SET FOR YOURSELF. It’s just so dang good and so affordable, you really don’t have an excuse to not at least try it. (Remember you are probably going to want to size down 1 size in the pants.)
On the post for the set last Wednesday, I included some outfit plans at the end of the post.
Well, today you are going to see those outfit plans come to life!
OUTFIT #1
Look at the details on this textured cardigan. And I’m sorry, but this jewelry is too good (and all under $10).

Love.
Olive is a big color this season, so this olive stripe called to me.
textured cardigan / similar jeans / faux suede bag / sunglasses / bracelet / booties

This cardigan is under $30, and it looks like you should pay at least $80 for it. It’s got Ann Taylor vibes for sure. It’s a medium to heavy weight, the trim is sturdy, and the gold hardware really pushes up the style factor several notches. You could obviously wear this over a cami or tee, but I’m wearing it just buttoned up. Because apparently that’s what I do now. 😉 It’s great with jeans, but you could definitely dress it up with a nice pair of pants for the office. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I love how the hem is rounded. Such a nice detail that makes it look much more expensive than it is. It also comes in a navy chevron stripe, a solid black, and a solid cream.

These drop earrings are absolutely to die for and under $7. The colors are beautiful fall colors, and the length and shapes are gorgeous.

This bracelet is one that I’ve owned for a couple of years now, and I love stacking two on top of each other. You can do that when each bangle is under $6. It makes quite a statement for just a little amount of money!

This faux suede bag and these booties are two pieces that I’m wearing in all 5 outfits today.
The booties are a great light neutral color that goes beautifully with the bag. They are true to size and super comfortable. And both the booties and bag are crazy affordable.

OUTFIT #2
I’m in love with this navy floral.

This cardigan is thick, soft, and totally cozy. Oh, and let’s not forget CUTE. The quality is excellent, and I love the floral pattern. I’m loving it with jeans, but I did just see there’s a matching sweater dress (but only XS and S are remaining). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the cardi.

These sunglasses are just $15 (and only $10 a piece if you buy 2 pairs) and the chunky hoop earrings are under $4.

This necklace is the Hope necklace and ohhhhhhh soooooooo pretty. The green is gorgeous and the little charms are just so lovely.

Again, the bracelets stacked on top of each other are making quite a statement.

OUTFIT #3
Love.

I feel like this outfit is a total classic.

This collared sweater is totally giving Banana Republic, but it’s under $25! It is excellent quality and totally chic. This is the “warm fudge stripe”, but it also comes in a navy stripe and a solid heather grey. I love the collar, I love the thin stripes, I love the banded hem (so flattering!), and I love the subtle puff sleeves. This is a good one, ladies. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

OUTFIT #4
This spice-colored cardigan with the leopard belt is such a great fall combo.
boyfriend cardigan / white tee / jeans / leopard belt / faux suede bag / drop earrings / necklace (Hope) / bracelet / booties

This boyfriend cardigan is lightweight and just the type of cardi I need for my closet for early fall. It comes in 11 colors, but I was immediately drawn to this rusty bronze. It’s perfect for a pumpkin patch. The deep wine color is really beautiful as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. Oh, one more thing, it’s under $20!

Look at the pretty color, and the earrings and necklace complement the look perfectly.

OUTFIT #5
And nothing beats a crisp white shirt, especially when you pair it with leopard.
white button down / leopard belt / jeans / earrings / necklace (Hope) / bracelet / faux suede bag / booties

I think everybody can agree that a crisp white shirt is a closet staple.
white button down / similar jeans / leopard belt / faux suede bag / booties

This particular white button down is on the shorter side and boxy, but that’s what makes it more of a modern cut. Still, if you’re not a fan of boxy, you’re probably not going to love this shirt. I’m wearing a medium, but it’s very roomy, so I’m actually going to exchange for a small to see if I like it better. I don’t own a white shirt that I love right now, so I’m just going to give this one another try in a smaller size. I mean, the price is right at $24.

I think it looks great with the leopard, the gold accessories, and the light neutral booties and bag.

That’s all for today, y’all! Isn’t it amazing what cute pieces you can score for under $30?!?

Sheaffer, these are all SO cute!!

I have the striped cardigan in the navy color and in ivory. It’s been too warm here in Virginia to wear yet, but that is all quickly changing. You look great in the green, but with my coloring I am better off the the navy. I think I may get the chocolate fudge striped top. I have some dark brown ponte pants and dark brown suede booties that I think will make a great monochrome outfit.
Erika Slaughter says
I’m terrible at maintaining a white button up {like the wrinkles/keeping it bright white/etc.} but you look SO cute in that with the leopard belt!
