I spend nearly eight hours a day shopping, so I’m well versed in finding the best fashion for the season. And while I have a long list of go-to fashion brands I prefer, I’ve been shocked by Walmart this year.

Walmart’s New Arrivals section is overflowing with elevated summer staples. Spoiler: There’s a rich mom-style vest that exudes quiet luxury). Scroll on to find affordable shorts, blouses, dresses and two-piece sets starting at $13. There are so many pieces to shop, so get comfy, grab a coffee and let’s get into it!

1. Our Favorite: Whether you’re working from home or need an easy weekend top, go with this empire-waist blouse. The puffed quarter sleeves and stylish neckline give it a feminine flair.

2. Darling Dress: I’ve been on the hunt for a cute mini dress that still provides enough coverage. So when I found this tie-waist pick, I fell in love. The knee-length feels modest, while the tie-waistline highlights the curves.

3. Boho Babe: You’re going to want to add these easy, breezy shorts to your cart fast. They deliver that effortlessly cool look, have a comfortable fit and provide tons of breathability, making the shorts ideal for summer.
