Fall 2016's must-have piece of outerwear is the bomber jacket, and luckily for us gals on a budget, it's easy to find one to rock under $50. Here I've rounded up some of my faves, from a femme floral jacket by Who What Wear at Target, to a classic bomber jacket in a rich burgundy hue from American Eagle Outfitters. You can easily pair your bomber with a t-shirt and jeans or get creative and layer them with polished separates, dresses or your go-to athleisure look (like Gigi Hadid) for an outfit that's totally on-point for fall. Read on to shop my 9 favorite picks that won't break the bank...

This time last year I shared fall fashion highlights at Walmart (here), and it was one of my most popular posts ever! I went back yesterday to scope out this season's fashions and round up my top finds for 2016. So let's get started: My favorite plaid shirts by Faded Glory are back, easily one of my top picks because they wash and wear so well (easily as good as the BP plaid shirt I got last year at Nordstrom if not better, and better than my plaid shirts from H&M, to give you some point of reference for quality). I don't know why these are out of stock online, but check your local store. Mine had plenty. These are nice, too, in a slightly lighter weight fabric (which can be good or bad depending on what you're going for).

Before you read this post, please know that I can not be held responsible for any shoe purchases that might ensue. Having said that, this look for less is just so good, you may end up getting all three colors for fall. The LC Lauren Conrad split ankle boot is a dead ringer for the Rag & Bone 'Harrow' boot, a perennial fall favorite that looks amazing with skirts, dresses, and skinny jeans. Scoop up the real or the steal - you really can't go wrong with this wardrobe staple! #yourewelcome

Splurge: Rag & Bone 'Harrow' Bootie, $495 at nordstrom.com (also available at rag-bone.com)

Steal: LC Lauren Conrad Split Ankle Bootie, $49.99 (down from $69.99) at kohls.com

Yesterday I checked out the new Threshold collection at Target, featuring fall-perfect pieces to update your home for a cozy season of pumpkin spice lattes and movie nights in front of a roaring fire. You can bring texture into your home with rustic wood trays or candle holders, stay organized with a woven felt basket, add light with a leather strap hanging mirror, or spruce up your mantle with rustic-refined turkey or fox figurines, and velvet pumpkins. Threshold always has a way of making me want to completely redecorate whenever I see a new collection drop, and this one is no exception. Of course I don't act on my impulses, but rather picked up a few pieces from the previous collection which are now on clearance. Sometimes it pays to be patient. I'll be waiting for some of these new fall items to go on sale, too, before I pounce. They're so perfect for Thanksgiving but stylish enough to keep up all season long. See anything you can't wait to bring home? Shop all Threshold here.

For today's Throwback Thursday look, I went back to the start of 2014 when Cameron Diaz made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote her book 'The Body Book' wearing a casual yet polished outfit that definitely showed off her credentials in the best way. The actress-turned-author paired a plaid shirt with a tan blazer, dark-wash skinny jeans and black high-heel ankle boots for the occasion. I wanted to recreate this ensemble because it's a look that can work for so many fall functions, from the office to the weekend...and something tells me this would be especially cute for teachers, as we're in back-to-school season! I found the perfect flannel at Joe Fresh and then brought the look into 2016 by updating the jeans to a pair of raw edge hem jeggings from Express. Ankle boots from DSW's new Mix no.6 line and a suede bag by Merona finish this look for less, which can be yours with finds starting at just $11.70...
