our spring staple jeans are under $40!

we’re crushing on this denim dress under $25!

Happy Wednesday, y’all! You know there’s nothing we love more than finding chic pieces at a great price! Last month, we partnered with Walmart for their “We Dress America” campaign and we wanted to share a few new pieces we’ve been crushing on! These Walmart Fashion pieces are absolutely perfect warm weather wardrobe additions! With summer on the horizon we’re getting ready for a few months full of fun travel! And since we’re always on the hunt for the perfect travel piece we had to let y’all know about our latest obsession, this knitted dress (pictured above) is the comfiest and doesn't wrinkle (so it’s perfect for packing)! And did we mention that’s a score at under $50?!?

Curious about some of our other warm weather finds? We are swooning over this chic wrap dress, this empire waist maxi, and these darling gingham sandals. Planning a beach vacation? We think this netted bucket bag, this striped tote, and this natural straw bag are perfect for any getaway! We also plan to snap up this darling striped hat! Can you believe all these travel necessities are under $35?!?!

You know we love pattern play! We are crushing on this chic leopard blouse paired with our spring staple pants (under $40)! We also adore these leopard mules. And how can we resist this collared striped button down?!?! We know finding the most perfect every day bra seems daunting, but we love this one! We wear it with our go-to tee and it’s so comfy! We’re also eyeing this shapewear to go under our favorite denim dress.

Oh, and how could we forget to mention that you get free 2-day shipping and returns on purchases over $35?!?! Take a peek at more of our favorites below! Happy shopping, y’all!

Oh, and how darling is this striped scoop neck cutout dress?!?! It’s perfect for summer!

And since you can never have too many handbags (in our opinion) we just added some to our favorites including this blue + white clutch, this tote with the perfect pop of color, this chic work bag, and this indigo blue bag! We think this pouch is the sweetest and great for carrying all of your beauty essentials! Plus, you can get it monogrammed for FREE!
