Fall Florals
You may think floral prints are only for spring and summer, but that’s not the case at all. Done in unexpected color combos for the season, fall florals are having a major moment because they’re a great way to break up the darker colors that usually dominate during this time of year.

If you’ve ever watched Ree Drummond on her cooking show The Pioneer Woman, then you know that lady loves herself a floral print. As such, it should be no surprise that her collection at Walmart is full of them, including this brightly-colored duster that will add a pop of color to any outfit.

At less than $20, this navy blue floral print dress is a great closet addition you can wear many ways this season. When the temps are still mild, wear it with ballet flats or low-top sneakers. As the weather cools, pair it with a cardigan, tights and ankle boots.

Midi slip skirts aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Why? You can dress them up or down and they really do flatter many different physiques. If you already own the classic black satin style, consider this floral print pick that has a not-too-high slit at the front. Shoppers give it 4.6 out of 5 stars, and one customer said it’s “comfortable and looks more expansive than it is.”
Chocolate Brown
You’re probably used to camel being the shade of brown that’s everywhere during the fall and winter months, but this year darker brown tones are going to be more popular than ever. The rich hue is a neutral that look good on lots of different skin tones, so don’t be afraid to take a chance on it.

Your fall wardrobe isn’t complete without a sweater dress, so why not grab this ribbed style that offers extra coverage thanks to the mock neck and midi length? The fabric contains plenty of spandex so this dress will move with you and accommodate your curves. Even better, it’s machine washable.

Wait! Don’t be deterred by the cropped categorization here. Yes, this sweatshirt is cut a bit shorter than your oversized college hoodie, but it is by no means belly-baring. Instead, it’s designed to be that perfect slightly slouchy style that looks great with leggings, joggers and jeans alike.

Need some new work pants for long days in the office? Rather than buy yet another pair of black trousers, mix things up with this paper bag style in the “it” color of the season. The tie waist is super flattering for your midsection and the cropped hem allows you to show off your shoes, whether booties or pumps.
Mary Janes
Cue the nostalgia. Chances are you had a pair of Mary Janes when you were a little girl — paired with white ruffly socks, anyone? — but now they’re back for big girls. Designers like Alaia and Mui Mui brought them back into fashion earlier this year, and now other brands are following suit with accessible styles anyone can afford to buy.

These affordable flats don’t just look good — they have smart design details too. The insole is made with memory foam for extra comfort and the outsole is made from grippy rubber to prevent slipping and sliding. In addition to the snakeskin pattern shown here, shoppers can purchase these shoes in for other colors in sizes 6-11.

Don’t want to wear toe-crunching, ankle-breaking heels to this year’s holiday party? Don these fabulous metallic mary janes instead. They’re elegant enough to pair with a cocktail dress or jumpsuit and are sure to garner you endless compliments at the evening’s festivities.

This is not a drill. These jeweled mary jane flats were originally almost $50, and now they’re down to just $13. That’s a steal!
If you’re concerned about quality, you’ll be happy to know shoppers give these shoes a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating. “These are cute shoes! The quality is good, comfortable and soft inside shoe!! They are very trendy, cute and love the sparkle on them!”
Some shoppers say this styles runs large, so consider sizing down. Or, buy two sizes to be safe and simply return the one that doesn’t fit.
Maxi Dresses
Another summer trend that’s sneaking its way into fall? Maxi dresses. Lots of people love the one-and-done look when the weather is hot and humid, but long dresses work just as well when the weather is cooler. Pair them with boots and a denim jacket or a long cardigan, and you’ve got a stylish outfit for any occasion.

If you’re a dress person who wears them year-round no matter the temperature, then feast your eyes on this fab design by The Pioneer Woman.

Another person commented, “I love this dress. It’s simple and great for a Saturday night out or church on Sunday. It runs true to size and is very comfortable. [It’s made from] quality fabric and has reinforced seams for big busts.”
