I could watch Who What Wear TV all day. Literally. It's so yummy. But since I have a day job, that's just not possible. However, I did manage to squeeze in some time today to watch two great clips about Fall fashion, and I took some notes to share with you all. Here we go:
Best Budget Basics for Fall (watch the clip)
Shopping for a new season can get expensive, so here are some trendy and thrifty items to update your wardrobe:
Flannel workshirt a la Lauren Conrad: Pair with skinny jeans. Or, for evening, wear with a contrasting, dressier black skirt. Finish the look with fierce pumps.
Gray blazer a la Kate Moss: Achieve another great look by pairing with a long sleeve tee, jeans in a relaxed fit, and lace up oxfords with ankle socks.
Tip: Visit your local thrift store (trends come and go in cycles). Make a list before you shop so you won't be overwhelmed or over-spend.
5 Key Accessories for Fall (watch the clip)
Tip: Invest in shoes and bags, which you wear on a daily basis
The flannel is calling to me, despite the fact that I wore this trend the first time around. Gulp. I don't yet have a blazer in gray, so that's another piece I look forward to adding to my wardrobe. I had a fab long-strap handbag from H&M but the strap broke, so I was planning on finding a replacement anyways. Good to know they're "in" I suppose! Black lace tights? On the fence. Maybe if I can find some that aren't scratchy.
Is anything speaking to you so far for fall?
