Affordable Friday – Bring On the Chilly Temps!

Welcome to today’s affordable Friday! I’m so excited about this one because the cooler chilly temps are finally here and I can finally break out all these amazing affordable cold weather pieces! In fact, we’re off to NYC so I’m packing a bunch of these things with me for the trip. Starting with this festive sweater!

I HAVE to start with this look because I looooove it!

First this super super super soft and cozy cardigan is one that I legit have in four colors now. They come out with a new one every year and I always get it because I wear them so often because they’re a total Barefoot Dreams dupe for a fraction of the price. This one’s only $19. It comes in a bunch of other colors and prints too!

1. CARDIGAN | 2. LAYERING TOP | 3. CORDUROY PANTS | 4. BOOTIES

I paired it with this top that I’m completely obsessed with! It’s very fitted so I would actually size up one in this, not only because it’s so fitted, but also because it’s in junior sizes. So instead of getting my normal size small I sized up to a medium. And it’s under $8! I love love love the neutral color of the one I got, but it comes in a bunch of other colors too, so definitely check it out! It’s the perfect layering top!

And then lastly, I have to share these $21 corduroy pants. I love switching up my everyday jeans with corduroy pants. I have multiple pairs of them and I love the cut and style of this pair for only $21! They’re true to size and fit like a dream! I paired my western booties that are only $24 with this look! But you could totally do sneakers or any shoe really!

Next, no question I am bringing this big white puffer coat with me to New York. I love it so so so so so much! I have more white winter jackets than I could probably count, but when I wear them I get so many DM’s, so I try to find a new white jacket every winter for you guys to shop so you can have one too. This one is very warm, has lots of pockets, a super cute fur hood, and is really affordable at only $54! I’m wearing a size small which is my normal size and it fits me great and I still have room to wear sweaters underneath for the really cold weather. I paired it with a pair of black leggings and one of my favorite pair of black boots.

1. EXTRA WARM PUFFER COAT | 2. $7 LEGGINGS | 3. BLACK BOOTS

I’m also going to link this lighter white puffer coat that I shared in my last affordable Friday. It’s only $22 and I love it so very much so I had to share it again just in case you didn’t see the last one. And it comes in a bunch of colors if white isn’t your thing. Also bringing it to NYC since I will be walking a ton on the day my brother runs the marathon because I’ll want something lighter weight!

1. LIGHTER PUFFER COAT | 2. $7 LEGGINGS | 3. BLACK BOOTS

Can we talk about this gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, green dress! It’s cozy, soft, flattering, and the color is so beautiful! I love a sweater dress for the fall and winter months, and this one is perfect for anything from an office look, to a lunch, or a business meeting. You could even wear this to a holiday party! It’s super versatile!

1. SWEATER DRESS | 2. SLOUCHY KNEE-HIGH BOOTS | 3. CROSS-BODY BAG

I paired it with the slouchy knee-high boots that I’ve had for a little bit now that I actually posted in my last affordable Friday! I’ll be using them to style looks all fall and winter so definitely snag them at under $35! And then for this look, I threw on this little crossbody bag that I just think is so unique. I love that you can use it as a little small handbag but then put on the strap and wear it as a crossbody. I really love it and it’s under $25!

I also wanted to show you the dress both with the bag and without (below) so you can see it both ways.

1. SWEATER DRESS | 2. SLOUCHY KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

These next pieces aren’t really jackets as much as they’re Shacketts. Which basically means a shirt and a jacket together. So I thought I’d share those next. I love them. I feel like they look like a $150 jacket that I got recently from another brand, but they’re a fraction of the cost at under $25. I’m wearing a size small which is my normal size so they’re definitely true to size. I got this tan and white Chevron print one that I’m wearing with a really cozy undershirt that’s only $7.98. I’m wearing a medium in the undershirt and it comes in other colors. And then I paired it with this $18 pair of Time & Tru jeans. I just think Walmart denim is so good. And if you’re looking for a really cute and stretchy pair that aren’t skinny jeans, these are incredible.

1. TAN SHACKET | 2. $18 JEANS | 3. WHITE SNEAKERS

The red plaid version of the shacket is pictured below and I decided to pair it with a simple, black undershirt, $7 black leggings (it’s a 3 pack so you get all 3 for under $20), and black boots that I’ve had for a couple years now and love so much. Such a cute look! If you haven’t already gotten the boots from the multiple times I’ve written about them over the years you totally should now. They’re under under $25 and an absolute go to of mine for winter.

1. RED PLAID SHACKET | 2. $7 LEGGINGS | 3. BLACK BOOTS

Pictured below are two turtleneck tops. The first one is what I’m wearing underneath the tan shacket above. It’s super stretchy, a ribbed material, and perfect for layering. And then the second one is the cute festive sweater. I love the festive pattern of the sweater but it’s not over the top screaming in your face holiday. I’m wearing a size small and I love that it’s more fitted on me. If you want an oversized look with this sweater you’ll want to size up one. It also comes in a really beautiful light tan color that I absolutely love!

1. LAYERING RIBBED TURTLENECK | 2. HOLIDAY SWEATER

Size down in this next sweater! I’m normally a size small and I actually got an extra small in this sweater and it fits me perfectly and has that loose relaxed fit. And I love that it’s by the brand Free aAssembly because they are a sustainable fashion brand at Walmart, which I love. I got the red because it’s festive and holiday but this sweater comes in a couple other colors and it’s really cozy! And did I mentioned that it’s only $26? I feel like I’ve had a print exactly like this in a bunch of different sweaters, but they’re always more fitted and I love that this one has more of a relaxed fit. It’s a must get! I absolutely love it and I think you guys will too.

1. RELAXED FIT SWEATER | 2. $18 JEANS | 3. WHITE SNEAKERS

I paired it with the same pair of Time & Tru denim and a white pair of sneakers.

I had to share this blouse cause I think it’s one that a lot of people will love as a great top to wear during the holidays. I just thought the print reminded me of poinsettias and it’s really beautiful. It’s only $17!

How pretty is this dress?! Seriously check it out not only in this color, but it comes in an absolutely stunning purple color as well. I feel like this red version is great for the holiday-vibes but the purple one is unbelievably beautiful. I actually bought this when I was at Walmart and I probably would’ve gotten the purple instead if they still had it in my size but they didn’t at the store. Thankfully both the colors are fully in stock on Walmart’s website. Size down in this one if you can. I’m wearing a small and I still have quite a bit of room in it. I wish it was a tad smaller.

FLORAL DRESS

This is the absolute perfect dress to wear to Thanksgiving or any holiday function because you’ll feel very comfy and not restricted at all! There’s also a lot of room in the arms, which will make people feel very comfortable as well. it’s only $17!

And last but not least are these super cozy PJ’s! You guys know I’m very particular about my PJ’s. They have to be super soft. These lines are incredibly soft and you can get the top for under $10 and the pants are under $13. They’re sold as a set on Walmart’s site as well, but the set is sold out in this print! But thankfully, I found the individual pieces that are still fully in stock that you can get! You’re gonna love these!

1. PJ TOP | 2. PJ BOTTOM

OK well that’s all for me! There was a lot to digest in this blog. I just found so many good pieces that I had to share them all with you guys! Hopefully it wasn’t overwhelming and you found something you love! Let me know what you think in the comments below, and what you’d like to see in a future affordable Friday!
