Denim Favorites for Fall!

August 21, 2024/ Gen Sohr

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

We’ve got fall fashion on the mind, starting with the perfect statement denim styles! We’re finding so many great pieces at Saks right now, including the jeans and tops we’ll be wearing all throughout fall and winter, plus lots of investment-worthy staple shoes and bags that we’ll enjoy for years to come.

With a closet full of classic jean styles, this season we’ve got our eye on more expected shapes and washes, like this barrel cut pair (we sized down by two sizes to a 25 here) and these with a unique hem detail (true to size). We’ve paired both with this blue and white striped top with a great seersucker texture that has quickly become a new favorite! We love wearing jeans with sandals and espadrilles during the transition from summer to fall, and then when temperatures start to cool we’ll switch to pretty ballet flats (we’re crushing on this quilted denim and leather pair worn with white jeans, and these nude pointed-toe ones with dark denim).

What We're Eyeing!

August 20, 2024/ Gen Sohr

We’re adding so many great finds to our carts this week! Right now we’re eyeing lots of new J.Crew styles like this cashmere pointelle sweater, these satin PJs in our favorite red, this denim dress and the pretty cardigan shown above! With cooler temperatures around the corner, we’ve been scoping out transitional jackets like this chic mid-length style (love the contrast stitching and collar detail), this lightweight trench in both shades of blue, and this barn coat that looks way more expensive than its $160 price tag! We’re loving raffia and leather bags for fall (we think they’re perfect year-round)…our favorites include this investment-worthy top handle bag, this fun crossbody style (on sale today!), and this budget-friendly twist-lock style we just added to our collection. Happy shopping!

Shirtdress Favorites Under $40!

August 16, 2024/ Gen Sohr

Post sponsored by Walmart

We just can’t resist a great shirtdress…especially when it’s under $40! We’re thrilled to share our latest Walmart fashion finds that we’ll be wearing on repeat all throughout the end of summer and well into fall!

This blue and white striped style is the perfect classic go-to, and you can wear it fully buttoned for a more demure look or unbutton it a bit for more casual styling (it also comes in a pretty maroon and white stripe and a super versatile black version). This khaki green shorter style is another amazing find that is quickly becoming a wardrobe staple! Both dresses are perfect right now with these raffia sandals and then will transition so well into fall by adding a closed-toe shoe. These slingbacks are a new must-have that look SO much more expensive than their $20 price tag…the red color worn here is super fun and we also love them in solid black and this chic two-tone style.

For more fall-ready style inspiration that won’t break the bank, take a peek at our favorite Walmart-exclusive brands: Free Assembly, Time and Tru and Scoop. You can see lots of our latest favorites (including so many pretty shirtdresses) in the gallery below, plus even more over on the LTK app and walmart.com!
