We spent our Saturday doing quintessential fall activities on the most gorgeous autumn day imaginable, eating our way through a garlic festival then picking up apples and pumpkins at a local farm. It was the perfect chance for me to recreate a casual fall look from Pop of Style which I had pinned months ago, but never actually put together - until now! All you need is a black and white checked shirt, military or cargo style vest, and some colored leggings. Riding boots complete the look. I added a layering tee since I'm 33 weeks pregnant but don't let that deter you from trying this look. Just button up the check shirt and you're all set. Read on for my budget-friendly finds to help you get this casual fall look with pieces under $40, and head to Pop of Style to see the original inspiration photo!

Leopard pants look city-chic and sophisticated for fall paired with all black extras, like a chunky sweater, high-heel ankle boots and a black felt hat. Plus this look relies on the old budget style tip that says black always looks more expensive than other colors! Read on to get my budget friendly picks under $40 to help you recreate this look without breaking the bank...

I'm outdoors a lot but find that my classic tall Hunter wellies - as much as I love them - are often overkill for walking in a light drizzle or stomping through dew covered grass. Enter the Chelsea rain boot. I've been on the hunt for a Chelsea rain boot for months now, and recently found the perfect pair for less than $10! Other options I've shared with you include these Chelsea rain boots by Michael Michael Kors ($49.99) and Report ($24.99) available at Marshalls (see photos in this post). Madewell also makes this amazing little rain boot with impeccable style for $78 (available here and here). The Jeffrey Campbell 'Stormy' boot is another super sleek option if you're willing to spend a bit more ($55 here and here). All are great options, but first see if you can guess which boot above costs $10 and which costs $78 by clicking a link below!
