Fall Fashion For Less

The fall season is usually marked by lowering temperatures, changing leaves, and more importantly, a change in wardrobe. This season’s style steps out of the box with bold colors, funky shapes, and daring patterns. Trendy must-haves range from scarves to leggings and tights. However, attaining these fashion staples is another story. Money can be tight as students hunt for jobs, save for college, or pay for school related events and activities. Rather than blow your savings on one or two fall accessories, shop smart with wallet friendly items.
Scarves have been around for quite a long time. But, these are not the scarves your mother wore. Fun prints and pretty colors can give your outfit a finished look, as well as add cute layers. Keep warm and look hot with this must have! Rather than buy expensive designer scarves, look at Target or Wal-Mart for an adorable alternative to pricey name brands.
Another way to show your fall style is through leggings and tights. This season, patterns and colors matter most, so try new styles and experiment. Wet Seal is one of the many stores that carry affordable leg wear for about $5.50 to $10.00 a pair. Just one pair can inspire many different outfits and give your look a bold edge.
Lace has also become a hit recently, and its carrying right into fall. From purses to shirts to leggings, it is everywhere! Modestly priced lace tunics are in stock at Rue 21 in fall styles as well as lace accessories. Not into lace? Military style clothing has become a hit this fall. What is not a hit however, are the prices of these fashionable garments. Luckily, you can pick up a military blazer, as well as other stylish items, at Kmart for less than twenty dollars.
Make sure to experiment with animal prints as well, but be careful not to overdo it. While a single item with a print is chic, such as a cardigan or bag, this is not the wild. Pairing the print with neutrals conveys a sophisticated look; pairing with bright colors conveys fun and spontaneity. Kohl’s is a great place to hunt for bargains for any animal print occasion.
Fall is one of the best seasons to express the inner you. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and Christmas is just around the corner. As the chill sets in and Canton is frosted over, dress hot and stay warm Creekview!
