My Budget Friendly Finds for Women Over 50: May 2025
I love finding stylish pieces without spending a fortune. With summer right around the corner, I’ve been on the hunt for affordable finds that feel fresh, pulled-together, and age-appropriate (without being boring!). So, if you’re packing for a vacation, updating your weekend wardrobe, or just wanting to look cute for less, I’ve got you covered. This month’s budget friendly picks are all from Nordstrom Rack and Kohl’s, two of my favorite places to snag great deals. Let’s take a look at what I found!
My Budget Friendly Finds for Women Over 50: May 2025
Nordstrom Rack
This short sleeve shirtdress is easy, breezy, and perfect for summer days. I love a shirtdress because it gives you that polished look without the effort. Toss on some sandals and you’re out the door looking like you’ve got it all together, even if you just rolled out of bed!
Y’all know I’m a sucker for a good handbag, and this straw crossbody is giving high-end vibes without the price tag. It’s just the right size for errands, lunch dates, or summer festivals, and that woven texture is so on trend right now.
I love a relaxed top like this one from Halogen that doesn’t cling where I don’t want it to. The dolman sleeves give it that casual elegance, and the V-neck is flattering on just about everyone. Pair it with jeans, shorts, or even a flowy skirt for an easy everyday outfit.
These flats from Dolce Vita are as cute as they are comfy! The Mary Jane strap adds a little feminine flair, and the neutral color goes with everything. Plus, you can actually walk in them, imagine that!
I’m a big fan of KUT jeans, and their shorts are just as good. Their boyfriend shorts have a relaxed, lived-in feel without looking sloppy. The cuffed hem is flattering and helps keep things feeling current.
A good slide sandal is a summer staple, and this one from Sam Edelman checks all the boxes. Cute, comfy, and easy to wear with anything from dresses to denim. You’ll be slipping into these all season long. If you can’t wear heels, check out the Platform Slide Sandals I wore in yesterday’s post.
Linen in the summer? Yes, please! This Linen Button-Up Shirt is light and breathable, and I love it for layering over a tank or tying at the waist with a pair of wide-leg pants. It’s that relaxed coastal vibe without the splurge.

Kohls
Even our pajamas deserve to be cute, gurls! This floral pajama set is soft, lightweight, and adorable. You’ll feel pulled together for lounging or answering the door when that Amazon package shows up unexpectedly.
Affordable and adorable—that’s what we’re going for! This woven bag has that super popular woven texture and a nice long strap so you can throw it on and go. It looks more expensive than it is, and I’m all about that.
This floral maxi dress is a head-turner, y’all. The flutter sleeves are flattering on the arms, and the tie waist gives you some shape without being too tight. It’s an easy dress to wear to church, brunch, or even a casual wedding.
Lightweight and great for layering, this linen-like jacket is perfect for those in-between days when you need just a little something. It’s got that easy structure that pulls an outfit together, and the neutral color goes with everything!
If you haven’t tried wide-leg pants yet, this is your sign to try them out! These Wide-Leg Linen Pants are flowy, breezy, and oh-so-comfortable. The print adds a fun twist, and they’re perfect with a simple tee or a crisp button-down.
I love a good oversized shirt for summer. This one from Sonoma Goods for Life gives off that relaxed, effortless vibe. Wear it open over a tank, tuck just the front into jeans, or use it as a beach cover-up. It’s a versatile piece that works hard in your closet.
Cropped pants are so perfect for summer because they show off your cute shoes! The high-rise waist on these Wide Leg Cropped Pants is super flattering. Style them with a tucked-in blouse or a simple white tee for an easy outfit.
Another great bag for the season! This Convertible Shoulder Crossbody Bag has that woven, beachy feel, but in a more structured shape. It’s roomy enough to hold your daily essentials and looks just as good dressed up or down.
