Walmart… I have a love hate, mostly hate, relationship with that place. I only go there when I absolutely need to, and yesterday was one of those days. As I was passing the women’s section I saw it. It being a red and black plaid shirt. Y’all, I have had a red plaid shirt on my mind since the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. There was this one by Rails that I loved but it was $150. Nope! Move along. I’m not spending that much on a plaid shirt. So, as I was saying, there was this red shirt, and it inspired me. How about a fall round up post from the good ole Wally World, because no one is too good to shop at Walmart.
The words trendy and Walmart have never went hand in hand for me personally, but, you guys, they are tying to go there, even though it really only feels like a half hearted attempt. The attempt is most noticeable in the two newest lines, which are called Time And Tru and Terra & Sky, which is the plus sized line. I shopped the Time And Tru line. I will be honest, this brand seems to have an identity crisis to me. There were some pieces that were of decent quality, and dare I say trendy, but there were other things that felt cheap and dated. The other brand that I tried on was the No Boundaries label. This is a Juniors line, and the quality was definitely lacking in a lot of the peices. I did find the plaid shirt in that brand though, and its quality is ok for the price, and the black skinny jeans I tried were actually surprisingly sturdy feeling. Below you can see what I tried on.

| I was honestly a little shook at how much I liked these pants! They were somewhere between a legging and a pant, and had an exposed zipper on the back. They also were in a great Glen Plaid pattern, which is a huge trend this fall. They felt pretty sturdy, not too thin, and fit true to size. Time and Tru Women's Skinny Zip Back Ponte Pant. This shirt left me kind of indifferent. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. Also, I wish it had been a little longer with the pants, as I am paranoid about showing my tush in leggings. I think it would be super cute with a pair of distressed jeans. Also, this top was from No Boundaries, which is Walmart's Juniors line, so it definitely ran small. I sized up 1, but you could even go 2 if you would like a looser fit. Grommet Lace Up Scoop Neck Rib Knit T-Shirt |

You know I can't resist a good camo print, and I really loved this relaxed thermal top.
Women's Time and Tru Long Sleeve Thermal Henley. Fits TTS.
Women's Core Super Skinny Jean in Fly Tint These ran a little small in my opinion. I usually wear a 12, and these were tight. I liked that the ankle opening was small, because I have a hard time finding skinny jeans that are small enough in the ankle. I wish I could have tried on the 14 as well, but sadly they were out of stock. Im curious if the ankle opening will still be as small in the next size up. Hopefully I can try them on during my next Walmart run. |

| This outfit is from the No Boundaries line. Since this is Juniors I had to size up in both peices. Actually , I take that back, Im wearing a size large top in this picture, which is my true size. I ended up purchasing the XL though because I wanted to actually be able to button it. I loved the button detail on the side as well. Lace Back Yoke Plaid Roll Tab Sleeve Blouse. I sized up 1 in the pants and they fit well. They also have a button fly and high rise that is on trend. Overall, these jeans felt sturdy and well made, but the black dye had a strong smell, so I ultimately put them back. Triple Stack Wide Cuff Jeans |
There were a few honorable mentions as well, but I didn't try these on because I already have peices very similar to them, If you are looking for low cost trendy options to add to your Fall wardrobe then these would do great!

Time and Tru Hi Lo Plaid Shirt Dress
Also, if you are looking for Teddy Bear Fleece Walmart has you covered! There were 2 options: one by Time and Tru and one by No Boundaries. Personally, I would go with the Time and Tru option. It was more expensive, but it had a higher quality look and feel.
Next I will move on to the shoes. I will go ahead and say that Walmart's Fall shoe game is pretty strong. There were so many cute booties. I wanted to take at least 2 pairs home but I resisted since I already have so many booties. The best part is all of these were $25 or less.
Next can we talk about slip on sneakers? I love sneakers. They are my go to shoe, and these quilted ones are amazing for the price. I have a similar pair in perforated faux leather by Time and Tru and I absolutely love them. I would definitely recommend scooping these up!
Also, can you believe that you can buy some over the knee boots for 20 bucks? Well believe it, because Walmart has them. The quality is average, and the investment is minimal for this trend forward shoe.
To round out my Trip I hit the handbags. Walmart has never been my go to stop for handbags mainly because they are usually pretty bland. I really like for my accessories to elevate my outfit, and if I am going to splurge on something it is more often than not a handbag. That being said, Walmart does have some cute trend forward bags right now that are great if you are on a budget. My favorite was the leopard print handbag. Leopard is a major fall trend, which thrills me because I have loved any kind of animal print for as long as I can remember. GIVE ME ALL THE LEOPARD PRINT!!! An added bonus is that this bag looks more expensive than it is. Its a classic style bag with a fun pop of leopard. I am confident that this bag will be stylish even beyond this Fall. Another option are the faux fur and velvet shoppers by Time and Tru. These are definitely a more trendy bag, so it makes sense to not invest a lot in a piece that will likely not have a lot of staying power past Fall. For the price these totes are a great way to inject a little fun into an outfit.
Finally, no trip to Walmart for me is complete without a stop by the men's department to look at the graphic tees. I have found some of my best band t-shirts at Walmart for less than 10 bucks. On this trip I wasn't disappointed.

So there you have it. My not so short list of things to check out for Fall on your next Walmart run!. Im going to leave you with this shot of that red plaid button down and my epic Bob Ross shirt.
