I popped into Belk this week and found so many fall staples worth adding to your closet. Think elevated basics with a little personality like printed shoes, statement heels, and yes… a whole lot of leopard (because when is leopard not a neutral for me?). This try-on is full of the pieces that make getting dressed in fall actually fun and the items that mix and match, work for every event, and instantly make you feel pulled together.

1. Leopard Love

You already know I’m a sucker for anything leopard and Belk delivered. I found a few dresses, a puffer everyone needs, and even a pair of leopard heels that make any outfit feel instantly styled.

2. Statement Shoes

Fall is the time to bring out a good statement heel. Whether it’s a pop of color, a fun pattern, or texture, Belk’s shoe section is packed right now. I grabbed a printed pump and a block heel that makes any outfit feel dressed up without trying too hard.

3. Everyday Staples

Think timeless prints, cozy accessories, and warm hues, those wear-everywhere pieces you’ll rotate all season. Belk’s fall line has a ton of mix-and-match options, and the quality feels amazing for the price. Add a tailored jacket or trench and you’re ready for anything from brunch to the office.

4. Layering Pieces You’ll Live In

I’m always reaching for lightweight layers, knits, and blazers this time of year. They’re for making every outfit feel more “fall.” Belk has tons of neutral tones: cream, camel, and olive, plus a few fun prints if you want a little extra.

You can shop everything from this post here on my LTK or check out the full round up for easy styling inspo. Can’t wait to see which pieces you love most — and yes, I fully support buying the leopard heels.

I swear, it’s like Walmart has cracked the code on seasonal perfection. Every year, there’s this moment when you walk through their clothing aisle and think to yourself, “Wait a second…did I just teleport into some undiscovered boutique?” But, nope. It’s just Walmart, being low-key amazing again.

Take this white smocked dress, for instance. It’s airy, it’s dreamy, and when you wear it, you’ll feel like the human embodiment of a Jane Austen picnic scene. The puff sleeve is so chic and it looks just like a dress that retails for over $100.

And then there’s the magenta maxi dress. Oh, don’t even get me started. This color. This. Color. It’s like the bold, unapologetic pop of summer we’ve all been waiting for. And can we talk about how the fabric feels like it’s hugging you in just the right places without clinging? Someone give it to me in every color already.

Speaking of maxis, the printed maxi dresses are those rare finds where the fit cuts like it’s so high-end and the fabric’s so soft, you’ll be checking the tag twice to see if it’s legal for something this comfy to exist.

Oh, and the jewelry! I’m assuming no one planned on swooning over Walmart’s jewelry aisle, yet here we are. Gold-toned treasures. Playful little pieces. Statement necklaces that make their presence known but still whisper, “I’m effortless.”

And have I been sleeping on their basics this whole time? These bras are seamless, ridiculously comfy, and feel like second skin. And this underwear—OMG. Soft, breathable, and made to move with you, they’re the unsung heroes of your wardrobe.

You know my pajamas are 99% Walmart, but this pajama romper is so cute and fun for summer! It’s lightweight, breezy, and honestly, it could even double as a swim cover-up. Perfect for lounging at home or throwing over your favorite swimsuit for a quick beach trip.

This lineup is basically the all-star cast of your summer closet. No overthinking necessary. Just easy, breezy staples that you’ll reach for over and over while chasing sunsets or sipping iced tea on your front porch.

There’s something just about summer… maybe it’s the longer days that stretch into slow evenings, or the way the ocean makes even your bad hair days seem intentional. Whatever it is, summer deserves its own wardrobe in an effort to capture that unnamable, magical feeling. A collection of pieces that whisper, “Book the flight,” “Order the gelato,” or “Say yes to the sunset picnic.”

If you’re craving that effortless, sunshine-drenched vibe, I’ve got you covered. I did a summer try-on with Show Me Your Mumu, and I may or may not be writing this while mentally planning trips for every outfit!

If clothes could tell stories, the new drops from Show Me Your Mumu would be printing out entire postcards. The Postcards from Italia Print? A love letter to vineyard strolls, Prosecco in hand, with a full “Under the Tuscan Sun” mood. Then there’s the Seaside Print, which basically tells your closet, “We’re 100% going for that Amalfi Coast getaway, or at least dressing like we already have.” And need I say more about the OOO Print? It’s in-the-moment relaxation turned fashion. You’re out of office, cocktails in hand, chasing sunsets, and the world knows it.

You know that moment when you’re packing, and you’re staring at your suitcase thinking, “What if I need eleven outfits for a three-day weekend?” I’ve learned that a few perfect staples are the cure for this wardrobe existential crisis. Mumu’s collection does a fabulous job of balancing the playful with the practical. Think flowy dresses that can go from brunch to boat party in a blink. Breezy sets that make even midday iced coffee runs feel photo-worthy.

Here’s the thing about summer style—it’s not just about cute. It has to be wearable in 85 degrees, while dancing barefoot at beach weddings, or wandering farmers’ markets in search of the perfect bunch of sunflowers. The pieces I tried were light, breathable, and adjustable in the way you want your relationship with life to be. Bonus points for stretchy waistbands, because yes, I will be having another scoop of sorbet.

No summer wardrobe is complete without accessories. Pair these prints with woven handbags, wide-brim hats, and the kind of jewelry that feels like summer. And don’t forget a great pair of sandals or slides that can work just as beautifully on cobblestone streets as they do by the pool.

Ultimately, your summer wardrobe isn’t just about the clothes; it’s about how they make you feel. The confidence of slipping into something that feels like it was made just for this exact moment in your life. Whether you’re biking through coastal towns, sipping rosé by the sea, or simply sitting on the porch with your besties, know this: the way you show up for summer is entirely your own work of art.

All that’s left to do? Find the perfect playlist, chase glowing sunsets, and promise yourself at least one spontaneous road trip. Summer’s calling… and you’re going to look absolutely perfect answering it.

What feels more like summer than Lilly Pulitzer? Seriously, their new collection is chef’s kiss! The swimwear is perfection, the patterns are fresh, and everything feels so effortlessly high-end this season.

This swimsuit, I cannot even. I don’t know that I will find a swimsuit this season that will top this one. The zipper detailing and the print, it’s just too good. I will be wearing this on repeat all summer.

Honestly, when do I not need a pink dress? But this one? Totally what summer outfit dreams are made up. I mean, do we even need to talk about the subtle palm print? Because I’m obsessed—would be so perfect for a summer wedding!

Boat days are all about layers and this is exactly what I need to feel casual but elevated at the same time. I LOVE this colorful but minimal print. Planning a boat day for this weekend just to wear this outfit.

I have been all about some pleats lately and this pleated skirt is to die for. It’s the perfect mix of sporty and chic, and honestly, I’m obsessed. If I were headed to play pickleball, you better believe this is what I’d be rocking, but spoiler alert—I’m not. Instead, if you catch me wandering the aisles at Target (because we all know it’s a vibe), you’ll see me strutting in this skirt. Stylish, comfy, and Target-run approved—what’s not to love?

Never skip the accessories at Lilly Pulitzer, especially in the summer. Trust me, their pieces are an absolute must. The prices are super reasonable, and everything is just so effortlessly stylish. Whether it’s a statement necklace, a playful pair of earrings, or a bright, cheery bag, their accessories have this magical way of tying any outfit together. The best part? They pair perfectly with everything. It’s like they were made to match your summer wardrobe dreams!

I have recently become obsessed with maxi dresses, and this one has me wanting to book a vacation ASAP! It’s giving major vacation vibes, and I can already picture myself strolling along a sandy beach, piña colada in hand. Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat and some comfy sandals, and you’ve got the ultimate vacation-ready outfit. Somebody grab the passports, because I’m ready to jet off!
