Five Fabulous Walmart Finds That Prove Style Is Not About the Price Tag
Let’s talk about Walmart fashion for women over 50. Honestly, it feels like everything is more expensive these days, and finding stylish clothes that don’t break the bank can feel like a real challenge. I’ve always believed that dressing well shouldn’t have to come with a high price tag. Feeling confident and pulled-together has nothing to do with what you spend and everything to do with how you put a look together.
That’s why I want to talk about one of my favorite places to find fashion finds on a budget: Walmart! It might not be the first place you think of for great style, but let me tell you, times have changed. I’ve discovered that brands like Time and Tru, Free Assembly, Scoop, and Sofia by Sofia Vergara consistently deliver quality pieces that are both on-trend and incredibly affordable.
The key to a great wardrobe is a mix of high and low, and Walmart is the perfect place to start. I’ve rounded up five outfits that show you how to mix and match fabulous, affordable pieces with some of your favorite accessories to create a look that feels completely you.
For More Affordable Styles:
The Go-To Casual Cardigan & Jeans
Outfit 1: The Casual Cardigan & Wide-Leg Jeans
This first outfit is a perfect example of a go-to look for a casual day. This cozy, light green cardigan from Free Assembly is so soft and has a beautiful cable-knit texture. Paired with these high-rise wide-leg jeans from Sofia Jeans, it creates a modern silhouette that feels fresh and comfortable. This is an outfit you can wear for running errands, meeting friends for lunch, or even working from home.
- Tania’s Tip: The color of this sweater is so cheerful! Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color to your wardrobe, even in a classic, cozy style like this one.
Free Assembly Cozy Cable Cardigan
This lime Cable Cardigan Sweater is an amazing find and a perfect layering piece for early fall. The light green color is so cheerful, and the cable-knit texture looks far more expensive than it is. It’s incredibly soft and a great length to pair with high-rise jeans without feeling too cropped.
- Tania’s Tip: When the weather is still transitioning, a cardigan like this is your best friend. You can wear it buttoned up like a sweater or open over a simple tee.
Sofia Jeans Wide-Leg Super High-Rise Jeans
I have to say, I am completely in love with these Wide Leg Jeans from Sofia Vergara’s line. The super high-rise holds everything in and creates a really smooth, flattering look. I’ve been wanting to try the wide-leg trend, and these are the perfect pair. They’re comfortable, stretchy, and hit at just the right length to wear with flats or a heel.
Sequin-Embroidered Woven Tote
This Sequin-Embroidered Tote is a great example of mixing high and low. I’ve had this bag for a while, and the textured straw makes it a beautiful statement piece for any casual outfit. It’s a versatile bag that you can use year after year, and it looks amazing with a budget-friendly outfit like this one!
Steve Madden Dessa Mule
These Mules are a new favorite of mine. They have a sleek, pointed toe that helps to elongate the leg, and the low heel makes them comfortable enough to wear all day long. They are a great way to elevate a simple jeans and sweater outfit.
The Timeless White Cardigan & Trouser Jeans
Outfit 2: The Classic White Cardigan & Trouser Jeans
Here is the same Free Assembly cardigan from Outfit 1, but in white. I love that it’s the same piece but looks completely different! This time, I’ve paired it with these stylish trouser-style jeans from Walmart, which are so flattering. The clean lines of the jeans and the classic white sweater give this look a timeless feel. You could easily wear this to church or a nice dinner out.
- Tania’s Tip: When you find a piece you love, like this cardigan, don’t be afraid to buy it in a few colors! It makes styling so much easier.
Free Assembly Cozy Cable Cardigan
The cream version of this sweater is just so versatile. It’s the perfect neutral to pair with a dark wash jean. The best part is that the fabric feels so soft and cozy.
- Tania’s Tip: When you find a piece you love, like this cardigan, don’t be afraid to buy it in a few colors! It makes styling so much easier.
HR Trouser Jeans
I was so excited to find these Trouser Style Jeans at Walmart. They feel incredibly comfortable, and the silhouette is both classic and modern. The dark wash makes them easy to dress up or down for any occasion.
Spartina Straw Reed Crossbody
The warm tones in the handbag from Spartina 449 are a perfect match for the white sweater and dark jeans. It really pulls the whole look together.
The Effortlessly Chic Striped Shirtdress
Outfit 3: The Striped Shirt Dress
This outfit is all about easy, effortless style. This striped shirt dress from Walmart is a one-and-done piece that makes you look instantly put-together without any effort. It’s a great example of how a beautiful pattern and a flattering fit can make a dress feel far more expensive than it is. I paired it with some of my favorite accessories to make it feel extra special.
- Tania’s Tip: A good midi dress like this is a workhorse in your closet. You can wear it with boots in the fall or with sandals in the spring and summer.
Free Assembly Striped Shirtdress
This Maxi Shirtdress is one of my favorite finds from Walmart. The vertical stripes are so flattering, and I love that it comes with a belt to cinch in your waist for a beautiful shape. It’s perfect for those days when you just want to throw on one piece and go.
- Tania’s Tip: A good midi dress like this is a workhorse in your closet. You can wear it with boots in the fall or with sandals in the spring and summer.
Chico’s Cow Print Crossbody
I love to add a little flair to my outfits, and this Cow Print Crossbody is such a fun touch! It ties in with the western boots and gives the whole look a playful, on-trend feel. In case you didn’t read yesterday’s post, Western Style Is Trending in 2025.
Dolce Vita Kenzen Western Boots
These Western Style Boots are a fantastic way to give a classic shirtdress a bit of an edge. I love the western flair, and they are incredibly comfortable to walk in all day.
The Feminine Floral Cardigan for a Casual Day
Outfit 4: The Floral Cardigan & Dark-Wash Jeans
I couldn’t resist this adorable Free Assembly cardigan with the floral details! It adds such a feminine, fun touch to a simple pair of dark-wash jeans. These jeans are the same great wide-leg style as Outfit 1, but in a darker wash they look a little dressier. This is the perfect outfit for a casual dinner date or a get-together with friends.
- Tania’s Tip: This is an example of an item that sells out fast when the seasons are changing. If this sweater is sold out in your size, don’t worry! I’ve found a few similar options below.
Free Assembly Floral Cardigan
This Cardigan Sweater is a darling piece, but because it’s a new arrival, it’s selling out fast! It has a beautiful floral pattern and is a great option for a day when you want to feel both stylish and comfortable.
- Tania’s Tip: Because this sweater is so popular, it’s getting harder to find in some sizes. Don’t worry! I’ve linked a few other similar options below that are just as beautiful.
Sofia Jeans Wide-Leg Super High-Rise Jeans
I’m wearing the same Wide Leg Jeans from Sofia Vergara’s line here, but in a darker wash. I love having jeans in a few different washes because it helps create a versatile wardrobe without having to buy a bunch of different styles.
Brahmin Celina Bucket Bag
A quality handbag is a great investment, and this one is a perfect example of how a more expensive piece can elevate an entire outfit. The color and texture of this bag are so rich, and it pairs beautifully with the brown cardigan.
Mixing Classic Stripes with Casual Sneakers
Outfit 5: The Striped Sweater & Sneakers
Here’s another New Arrival that flew off the shelves! This striped sweater tee from Free Assembly is so classic, with a stylish puff shoulder detail. I love how it looks with these jeans and a pair of simple sneakers for a comfortable, sporty vibe. This look is proof that you can be completely comfortable and still look chic and modern.
- Tania’s Tip: Don’t be afraid to pair a more structured top with sneakers! It’s a fun, modern mix that shows you’re on top of your style game.
Free Assembly Puff Shoulder Sweater Tee
The striped pattern of this top is so timeless, and I love the little puff shoulder detail that gives it a little something extra. This is a perfect piece to pair with jeans for a casual weekend look. Just like the floral cardigan, this one is a popular new arrival, so sizes are going fast.
- Tania’s Tip: If this sweater is sold out in your size, don’t fret! I’ve linked to a few other choices below that give a similar look.
LANA Hardware Jeans
These straight-leg jeans are another amazing find from Walmart. They have a fantastic fit, and the raw hem gives them a trendy, lived-in feel. I love the wide leg style that looks great with sneakers or a flat shoe.
Adidas Samba Sneakers
A comfortable pair of sneakers is an absolute must-have in my wardrobe. These Adidas Sambas are a classic choice that are so comfortable for all-day wear. They are a great way to add a sporty-chic vibe to a casual outfit.
I hope this list gives you the inspiration you need to build a wardrobe you love without having to spend a fortune. Remember, true style has nothing to do with the price tag and everything to do with the joy you find in dressing for yourself. Which of these looks is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

lol Nordstrom didn’t have the mules in my size this morning but I stalked their website and they finally had one!! I love a good chase for cute shoes and clothes. I also bought the Brahmin bag last week and it was delivered today. It is gorgeous and so nice for Fall. FYI Dillards has it on sale for $250. Thanks for the great ideas. Have fun on your trip.
That is a fabulous price on the bag!
Walmart has really upped their games. Great outfits!
😊 really cute things from Walmart.

☺️ I had the floral cardigan in my bag but it sold out before I purchased it. It would have looked so cute with my new chocolate jeans.
😀. These all look great! I’m really impressed with Walmart these days. Such cute things!
My favorite is the brown cardigan with flowers, it’s beautiful.
I’m going out on a limb here but years ago when Taco Bell opened I remember them promoting a taco tuesday with specials on that day. When my kids were in high school thirty years ago, Taco Bell was popular and taco tuesday became a school lunch.
Thanks for this post. These are all great pieces!
😊 tacos any day is fine with me. lol. Walmart has sure come a long way- som many cute options. What is the little “button” on the upper left of your tops?
Lol! That’s a microphone. It helps with echo issues when I’m recording a video.
🙂 Love the floral sweater in navy. It had excellent reviews.
😃 As much as I really like all of the outfits on you, my favorite is the striped sweater. It is perfection! I think there are some bored people out there that decided to come up with all of the things to celebrate or indulge in on a specific day, like Taco Tuesday. Why can’t we just celebrate being alive to enjoy whatever God has in store for us each day!
🙂 Found it! The brown floral cardi is adorable!
🙂. I always enjoy your posts featuring Walmart clothes!
Very cute outfits! I especially like the cardigans and striped shirtdress. And that sequin bag- I want it in all the colors!
😊 Great selections from Walmart! I like the cardigan and stripe sweaters.
I love everything about this post. Each outfit I thought “That’s my favorite!” Then I saw one I liked as much! I love the trouser jeans. Always love a good shirt dress – and the stripes! Just wow. I thought those were my favorite then I saw the floral sweater!
I see some purchases in my future. Haha.
😊 the post with the Chico’s Cow Print Crossbody!
loved this post and how you put the outfits together
😀 like the ciw print clutch
😊 Several were sold out, but thank you for including lower price point clothes.
🙂 I guess I’ll have to give Walmart another look.
By the way what is the little black button you are wearing in every picture?
That is a microphone. I usually record a video for Instagram, and that helps with echo issues.

😊I like the green cardigan.
😊I love the green color.

Love you choices from Walmart. You pick the cutest styles. Found the :].
🙂 Great post! I love all the bags as well.
😃 It’s amazing how Walmart has stepped up it’s game in so many ways but especially the clothing they offer! I love the brown floral sweater and the cow print crossbody is SO cute!!
🙂 I really like the cardigan in the bright green color. The wide leg Sophia jeans look good on you. Don’t know if I would look good in them. I laughed at the comment that Kathryn B.’s husband said she looked like a farmer in them.
😃 Cute cardigans, I especially like the brown with florals one. I wish I could wrap my head around the wide leg jeans on me. I just haven’t found a pair that I feel good wearing….sigh. They look so nice on you.
Love ☺️ the sweaters, the green and brown are on their way. Also really liked the short sleeve striped sweater, will have to try the alternative option as no longer available in my size! Thanks for the alternative options.

☺️love the cardigan.
Cute cardigans. 🙂
Cute outfits. Walmart has really upped their game. Thanks for doing the hard work of finding these fun clothes!

The striped sweater was my favorite.
😊
Looks like a trip to Walmart is in my future!
😎 Nice choices
I love the floral cardigan sweater. Too bad that it is sold out.

Great finds Tania

🙂 Love the green cardigan!
The cardigans are perfect and the weight looks good for transitional pieces.
Wow! Such cute things! The green sweater is so pretty on you, and I love the dress! And yes, Taco Tuesday is really a thing…at least it here in central California, where we have FABULOUS Mexican food!!! Happy (taco) Tuesday❤❤❤
I love your site BUT please show clothes (tops) that hit a little lower on or past the hips. The tops you show today are only flattering if you are skinny. I would never wear those cardigans. Also please show tops with 3/4 sleeves to hide big arms.
Thank you
Cathleen, I can only show what is in the stores, and short and cropped clothing is trending. Fall will probably bring longer sweaters to the stores soon.
🙂green cardigan sweater is very pretty.
Great pieces from Walmart in particular. The sequined bag is very pretty. Thx for all the ideas.
I like the cardigans.
I Love the White Cardigan 🙂
🙂time to give Wal-Mart another look.
I love Walmart finds!
Both the green and the white version are on the way.
The dress will look great with western accessories from yesterday’s post.
It’s on the way, too!
😀 The Spartina crossbody is adorable and I love the brown floral sweater.
Loving the cow print but I don’t know if I would use the purse or just admire it 🙂 Cute outfits and I can’t wait for fall.
🙂 Thanks for the more economical, yet stylish, outfit ideas.
😊 Thanks, now I’m thinking about tacos! 😂 Love the lime & cream cardigans! Beautiful buttons and mini scalloped edge is so pretty.
😀we have a place on Mondays for $1.50 taco night, but it really doesn’t matter. & love Walmart shopping thx
Interesting that you would do a Walmart post today. Just a few days ago, I walked through the ladies section of our local WM & thought, “these are really cute clothes”!
Tania,
I love how you share great deals on clothes that don’t cost a fortune! You always make them look cool and fashionable, and I can save my hard earned money for something else. THANK YOU and have blessed day. I love your posts!
😊I like cardigans.
Congratulations on your daughter’s engagement! How exciting! Mother of the Bride – you’ll have to do posts on all the wedding planning! Also – found it! Love all the great options from Walmart. Cable sweater and western boots are my favorite!
Love the floral cardigan.
I recently bought a pair of wide leg jeans. I wore them other day and my husband said I look like a farmer 🤣
🙂
Cute!!!!
😁I love this post! Need to get the white sweater. Also, I love how your mind works, you were talking about tacos and then said why am I even thinking about this, pretty much sums me up..
😀Great mix of budget friendly pieces.
Love the sweaters! 😊
😊At first I kept thinking the little black button on your clothes was the smiley! Love all the handbags especially the Spartina and Brahmin. The sweaters really do dress up the jeans.
Me too what is it?
It is a microphone for when I record videos.
Thank you for styling looks that cost less. I am unable to spend a lot of money just to be fashionable. The outfits are great, especially love the jeans!!
Tania, I think you’ve started to solve a fashion struggle I’ve had: how to style a cardigan (regular length, with buttons) in a modern way. I haven’t had cardigans in my closet in a long time because they felt too “old fashioned schoolmarm” for me. But recently I picked up two cardigans in colors I love, hoping to figure out how to style them. You styled the Walmart cardigans with wide leg/trouser jeans, and I think it looks chic! So there’s idea #1 for me. Cardigan + trouser jeans. Thanks! 🙂
I’m glad you found an answer to your problem!!!
😊all very well put together, sweet cardigans
🙂 I always learn so much from your tips! Very cute sweaters and jeans love these looks!
I must have missed something, what’s the black button you are wearing? I enjoy the mix of Wal-Mart and Amazon fashions with the rest of the choices you post. I’m loving the cardigans!
It is a microphone. I record a video at the same time I’m taking photos.
🙂 Mondays blah! I really like the Sequin-Embroidered Woven Tote Bag
I love your posts because when you model the items, they give us a more realistic view of how they would look on a person rather than the photos displayed on the seller’s websites.Please consider modeling the striped shirt dress from Walmart in a video so that we see a realistic back view and how it drapes. Also did you find that the dress ran small. How did it fit in the top and shoulders?
Jean, if you are on Instagram, I put that video on that platform.
found it 🙂 !
you’re so funny! I often wonder where these day of the week food ideas come from (aside from the manufacturers). Taco Tuesday? Not in my house lol! Teriyaki chicken Tuesday here today.
Thank you for the walmart spotlight! love those sweaters!
😊
I like the long sleeve cardigan in white.s
🙂 I like seeing affordable options.
😀the floral cardigan is adorable!
😁thank you for showing cute items from Walmart. Some of us live in small rural towns that have no clothing stores so Walmart and online shopping are our only options if we don’t want to drive at least an hour away to a bigger city
I just love the cow print crossbody and the cardigans today are so cute. 🙂
I love the fact you’re styling items from Walmart. I agree, WM has improved its clothing lines since it first began. Could you also style items for women in menopause ( that have gained a little around the mid section)?
Thanks!
🙂 Love your tips! They are very helpful!
Loved today’s looks. I love the idea of dressing up jeans. Thank you
