I’m My Mom’s Personal Shopper, and I’m Styling Her in These 6 Under-$50 Fall Pieces

I’ve wasted no time building out my dream fall fashion wishlist, and it’s only right that I do the same for my mother’s closet. While I’m ready to embrace chunky sweaters and Birkenstock clogs, my mom is living in the now and looking for summer-to-fall essentials that can do both.  So, as her designated personal shopper, I took her to her favorite one-stop shop, Amazon, to round up six transitional fall pieces that can get her through these 80-degree days and the 60-degree ones. Picks include lightweight cardigans, bootcut jeans, and a maxi dress, and the best part is that everything is under $50.

6 Transitional Fall Fashion Essentials:

• Blencot Silk V-Neck Tank Top, $14 (Originally $20)
• Hotouch Oversized Button-Down Shirt, $30 (Originally $38)
• Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Bootcut Jeans, $28
• Grace Karin Long-Sleeve Knit Cardigan, $24 (Originally $30)
• Merokeety Ribbed-Knit Maxi Dress, $41
• Dream Pairs Platform Sneaker, $37 (Originally $46)

Blencot Silk V-Neck Tank Top

Orig. $20$14 at Amazon

My love for layering originated from my mom. Her favorite summer-to-fall piece for the last two years has been Blencot Silk V-Neck Tank Top. She’ll style it under a chunky cardigan or with a denim jacket once it gets cooler. She’s worn the pink one so much that she plans on picking it up in a few other colors while it’s on sale for $14. The tank comes in 19 colors and prints, such as beige, orange, white, pink, and floral, plus sizes XS through 3XL. It features a deep-V neckline at the front and back, a shirttail hem, and a sleeveless design wide enough to conceal bra straps.

Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Bootcut Jeans

$28 at Amazon

My mom stopped me mid-scroll when we came across these Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Bootcut Jeans while browsing Amazon’s denim selection. It comes in five washes ranging from light to black and sizes 2 to 28 with the option of a shorter or longer inseam. The mid-rise jeans are made from a cotton-polyester blend that offers a bit of stretch, and they have a slimming fit through the leg. The boot hem styling is great for the fall.

Dream Pairs Platform Sneaker

Orig. $46$37 at Amazon

I was gifted a pair of Dream Pairs’ Platform Sneakers, and my mom has been obsessed with them. She even took my pair out for a stroll. So, it’s only right that I added a pair to this list in a neutral tone that she could add to her fall capsule wardrobe. The shoe comes in sizes 5 through 12 and has seven colorway options. It features a woven upper and lightweight platform sole. The bottoms have jagged treads for added grip, a pull tab on the back for easy on and off, and extra padding at the tongue and heel. Plus, they’re machine washable.
