Wouldn't it be grand if we had endless funds to spruce up our fall wardrobe? Well most of us don't but not to worry. Here's some help to build your fall wardrobe on a budget.
First off forget the designe names. Yes they're great if you can afford them but if not take their ideas and then go shopping. There are plenty of similar after market designs that are very close and won't break the bank.
Items such as blue jeans, pheasant skirts, v necks, and wool sweaters can be purchased without the designer name. Also watch for some great sales as the stores begin to already bring in their winter stock. This time of year you can save anywhere from 30% to 50%.
Looking fresh and stylish is important and when you get to save good money you don't feel so bad about tossing an item that's starting to show its wear.
You can also save plenty on shoes by watching for sale or shopping at a shoe warehouse. The shoe warehouses have plenty of style choices you just might have to hunt a little bit to find your size. Well worth the time for the savings!
Most important is fit and comfort, and of course you need to be certain they'll work with your wardrobe. This season the wedge continues in popularity. Slip ons are also still very popular and we are seeing imitation fur linings this season. Nice and cozy and still very classy! If you shop carefully you can add several pair for the price of one pair of designer shoes.
Lastly you can save a whole lot of money on your jewelry. Costume jewelry is affordable and the selection is great. If you stick to costume jewelry you can buy pieces for the fall season and not feel bad because you spent too much and they are out of style by next year.
There are many good online store with very reasonable prices. Don't forget to have a hunt through your old jewelry as well - you might be surprised at what you find that has made it back into style. Large clunky jewelry continues to be instyle as well as wood and bone jewelry. Color is making a big statement this year. Bold is beautiful this season!
If you need to get some ideas for the spring season - this months women's magazines have some great articles and examples. Vogue, Elle, and In Style are all full of excellent fashion pages.
So don't fret, you can look like a million dollars on a shoe string budget with a little creativity and hunting! Make your fashion statement!
