Leveling Up Neutrals With Texture
Happy Monday, ladies. Today I have some cozy, casual, and budget-friendly looks for you in soft neutral colors. Color is a great tonic for our spirits but nothing beats a great neutral for an easy-on-the-eyes outfit. These looks are also heavy on texture. I love to add interest to neutral outfits with texture so todays ootd’s have lots of cables, faux fur, and faux suede.

Today’s post is sponsored by Walmart, all opinions are my own.
As always, you can find more info and shop the items through the red text links.
I started with this cream pullover in winter white. It’s one of my favorite neutrals because its soft finish is flattering to most complexions. This cozy sweater is a pattern play of textures with cables, bobbles, moss stitch…all those things I used to enjoy knitting:) It’s available in 4 other colors as well, sized XS-XXL. I chose the medium to have it a bit oversized, but it does run true to size.

I love that the pattern is continued on the back of the sweater so there’s interest coming and going.
I paired the pullover with these faux suede jeggings. They have a nice high rise, back pockets, and belt loops but are a simple pull-on style that couldn’t be easier to wear.
This camel is a great soft neutral coordinates with so many other colors. The reviews suggest you order up, which I don’t recommend. They fit true to size and have tons of stretch with 6% spandex so they spring back into shape after you sit and move around.
These cozy hiker-style boots have a faux suede upper, faux fur around the ankle, a memory foam insole, and are so cute! They come in 5 colors, including pink:), in sizes 6-11. The black and tan versions are also available in wide widths. I was happy to find Walmart carries a lot of footwear in wide widths here. These have a lug sole for traction and fit true to size.

Can you ever go wrong with pearls? Not in my book. Who knew Walmart carried cultured pearls? I found a large case of lovely options in the store and even more online! This Tin Cup style is modern and classic at the same time. I also found this stunning South Sea pearl necklace that belongs on someone’s holiday list:)
I got carried away looking at pearls and here’s just some of what I found at Walmart-

This cabled cardigan piles even more texture into this outfit. Too much, Jennifer? Not to me because of the neutral color pallet. I’m also a firm believer that wearing texture closer to my face helps reduce the look of texture on my face.
Here’s a different take on casual. I swapped the leggings for these straight legs jeans in the medium wash called Northshore. They’re available in regular and petite sizes 4-16, I’m wearing the 8 regular. They’re described as mid-rise but they’re not too low for my long torso. The denim is made from a sustainable cotton blend, made with 29% recycled fibers and a hint of stretch.
Here is the same crew neck in a soft green they call Sea Turtle. I like how it makes the cables pop and the pearls show. I read that you should buy pearls the same color as your teeth…have you heard that? I suppose it’s so they look like they “belong” on you:)

Are you a fan of cables and texture in sweaters?
Walmart Fashion has both classic and trend-forward pieces for your whole family so you don’t have to sacrifice style for budget. Time and Tru is obviously a favorite, as is their newest line, Free Assembly, I shared with you last month.
Thanks for reading ladies and remember to wear what makes you feel confident.

Jennifer,
Thank you for the suggestions. I loved this article, it really reflects me in this stage of my life. I am 59 and have a classic Talbots style (without the Talbots price tag) and went immediately to my local Walmart and snagged the suede booties that are my new favorite. Who knew that Walmart could be so versatile? I love them, and I also picked up another hiker bootie (you are wearing them in white) but I opted for the tan with the cream fur trim. THANK YOU! I am learning how to dress with classics, and I appreciate your stylings. Glad I found you on TikTok!
Welcome, Lisa, I’m so happy you found me too:)
Love the cable knit sweaters, especially that the cable is on the front and back. You looked great in everything!! Surprised by Walmart I have to say!
Thanks, Rose
