You don't need to pack away all of your tanks and tees the second fall hits. The best pieces are the ones you can wear year-round, then layer once the weather gets chillier, and Walmart has a budget-friendly find that fits the bill. The Free Assembly Pointelle Short Sleeve Mini Tee is currently on clearance for just $3 (no, that's not a typo), down from $6, and it comes in four colors: darkest navy, darkest navy stripe, rose touch, and yellow light. Sizes range from extra small through 4X, depending on the color.
The top is made from a lightweight 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend and features a charming pointelle pattern. It also has short sleeves, a crew neckline, a pullover design, and scalloped trim around the edges. The fitted style makes it easy to wear under another layer without looking bulky, while the knit adds plenty of detail to wear on its own on warmer days.

It goes without saying that a $3 tee is a total steal, but that's especially true when similar short-sleeve pointelle styles elsewhere are priced closer to $10 to $15, or more. At this price, you could even justify grabbing more than one color for fall and still spend less than you might on a single similar top elsewhere.
One shopper called the tee "darling and dainty" and "super soft and stretchy," saying it's "so feminine with the little scallops on the hems." Another said the top "looks expensive," while a third wrote, "This is a wardrobe staple that will work for many seasons." Several shoppers also mentioned that the tee runs small, with some sizing up for a less fitted look, so it's worth checking the size chart before choosing yours.
If your wardrobe isn't already brimming with pointelle knits and scalloped details, this tee is an easy way to experiment with the style for less than $5. It can transition from warmer September weather to cooler fall days with a jacket, cardigan, or sweater. And since it's half off its original price, trying something a little different doesn't require much of a commitment.
