Happy Monday! Hope you all had the best weekend and are ready to jump back into this new week. We know we are, and we are super pumped to partner with Walmart to share this affordable fall layered look with you all. Y’all know that we love to put looks together that are budget friendly, but still look put-together! We think everyone should be able to look fashionable, without having to spend an insane amount on a look.
This entire look is under $200 ($174 to be exact!) How great is that kind of deal? One of our favorite parts about this look is the dark Levis denim. They are only $50 and they fit AMAZINGLY. We got a size 25×30, and the length and fit is perfect. The wash looks great with anything, and can be dressed up or down with boots or sneakers or slip ons. 
We paired the jeans with the investment piece of the look: these black suede booties. They are from Walmart’s Premium Lord & Taylor Premium Brands Shop, and may be the priciest piece out of the whole look at $85, but we really think you can wear them with so many things. They are the perfect height in both the heel and calf, and with black, you can’t go wrong! We got a size 6.5 in them for reference. They also come in a few other color options.
For any easy, fall layered look, we paired this plaid blouse (under $15) with this olive utility vest (under $24). Both of these are great mix and match items to have in your closet, and won’t break the bank! The plaid shirt actually comes with a black tee underneath, which is great if you want to layer even more, or you could remove it and pair it with something in your closet.
We were able to put this entire outfit together from Walmart for just $174, and we got free shipping since our order was over $35–major win in our book! We will definitely be browsing Walmart’s affordable pieces and their Premium Lord & Taylor Premium Brands Shop more regularly now that we have found such cute pieces, and hope you all will, too!

As many of y’all know we are super petite, aka 5’1″, so finding denim that fits us well can be a struggle! When we stumbled upon 
We paired it with 
We wanted to share some of our favorite
Obviously we both have been in relationships, and have learned so much from all of them! We know dating can be hard, and not the most fun at times, but you have to do it to figure out what you want and don’t want in a relationship. We both honestly keep our private life, well, pretty private, but this is something we want to open up about a little bit. You may think you have fun with someone and could see yourself spending a lot of time with them, but sometimes that isn’t enough. We both think the foundation for a great relationship is dating and being with someone that you’re a perfect fit with. 
You’re probably wondering, “Well, what does that even mean?” To us, that means being with someone that you have something in common with, and not just loving to workout and eat. Yes, those are important, but it also about values. Having common interests, sharing the same values and beliefs, similar life goals, etc. It may not seem that important in the beginning, but you will find out sooner than later, that it really is. We personally don’t believe in the theory that “opposites attract”. It may work for some people, but generally, for us, we both would prefer to be with people that are similar to us. Of course, you’re not going to be identical to your partner, but similar is what works best for us!
You want to be with someone that compliments you in the best way possible. We aren’t talking about getting actual compliments from someone. We are talking about being with someone that makes you a better person, brings out the best qualities in you, and just makes you better overall. We have both been in relationships where we make that person better, and more positive all around, but we haven’t necessarily gotten that on our ends. It is important that BOTH people are getting that benefit. 
When you’re with the “perfect fit”, it should feel like you’re hanging out with your good friend, and it just flows. It shouldn’t feel forced at all. Of course, it is not all rainbows and sunshine, but it really should be mutually beneficial. The other person should make you want to be better, and not change yourself in any way. For example, you may dislike running, but maybe they will inspire you to get more into running and train with you (speaking from personal experience ;) )
