30 Under-$36 Items for Summer That I'm Tempted to Gatekeep
Sponsor Content Created With Walmart
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Summer is easily the only season that simultaneously excites and disappoints me. The promise is always there: The fun clothes! The easy makeup! The warm weather! But more often than not, I'm reminded that I'm not, in fact, in high school anymore and won't be on a two-month-long vacation, and I really shouldn't have taken my glory days for granted.
Putting my mixed feelings aside, I've got to hand it to Walmart for making me at least feel like I've got places to go this summer. From seriously cute beach totes to on-trend eyewear to makeup that makes me shine (in the good way), this curated collection of pieces is serving all style, no splurge. (Really, everything comes in at under $36.) Keep scrolling for my must-have, affordable finds at Walmart.
