    26 Things From Target That Won’t Make You Splurge On Fall Trends

    Pumpkin spice is still in the air... and now you have a few extra bucks to treat yourself. 🎃 🍁

    1. A pair of chic Western boots with memory foam insoles so you can spend all day at the apple orchard (or pumpkin patch) looking photo-ready without issue. Plus, these are easy to brush clean, so no matter what fall-themed activity you choose, you won't end up with a big shoe-cleaning project on your hands.

    2. A padded puffer vest with smooth, taffeta lining that is the perfect layering piece for transitional weather. It’s lightweight, cozy, and features two front pockets so you can stash all of your essentials when on the go. And the of-the-moment patterns help it stand apart from those puffers you wore in high school.

    3. An anorak jacket made from 100% breathable cotton so you can transition into the chillier end of fall in style. Lightweight yet warm, this coat can be paired with just about any look in your closet.

    4. A long-sleeve knit dress with an asymmetrical neckline that will look killer with your favorite pair of booties. Made from soft, stretchy fabric, this dress will have you feeling like you are wrapped in a bathrobe, while still looking your absolute best.

    5. A fresh backpack because the back-to-school season never looked so good! Whether or not you’re actually heading to classes this fall, you will love this bag’s laptop sleeve, adjustable straps, and roomy pockets — and once you realize how it's more comfortable than a heavy purse or tote bag, you may not want to go back.

    6. A wear-with-anything denim jacket because sometimes, you just need a piece that will go with every outfit in your wardrobe. For fall, you can pair it with knee high boots and a sweater; and when spring comes around, you can bring it back out to pair with sneakers and a fun dress.

    7. An on-trend, utility-inspired jumpsuit that will make getting dressed a breeze. It's thick enough for chillier weather, and has workwear pockets — perfect for holding your phone as you sip on your apple macchiato and step on crunchy leaves.

    8. A pair of moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant joggers with four-way stretch material, because this time of the year, the unpredictable weather can be hard to dress for. These cargo pants will protect you from the sun while keeping you cozy when the breeze rolls in.

    9. An oversized utility jacket with a ribbed hem, so you can feel the maximum amount of cozy. This stylish pick will keep you warm on this autumn nights when the temperature dips as soon as the sun does.

    10. A versatile pair of pleather mules at a price you cannot beat–because, let’s be honest, the more shoes you can buy, the better. These shoes feature memory foam cushioning, an almond-shaped toe, and a mini heel — perfect for staying fashionable and comfortable as you attend to your many autumnal duties (pumpkin-picking, acting as a judge at the annual cider donut tasting festival, etc).

    11. A relaxed flannel shirt so essential that it is practically the fall uniform. This one is made from cotton-blend fabric and features two chest pockets, a button-front design, and a collared neckline — so, basically, the platonic ideal of a flannel shirt.
