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?

maybe the motorcycle boots as well...
still not sure about the black lace tights... prefer black leggins:)
Laura, i can relate. After i gave away a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti sandals to my little cousin, i did give up the practice of throwing/giving away everything out that i didn't wear for the past 2 years - THE STYLES ALWAYS COME BACK:):) just in different combinations:)
P.S. I love Who What Wear TV, too. I receive their daily MySpace bulletins!
Laura: I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of my bronze Doc Martens. I never thought I'd wear them again in a million years, and yet, here we are... I love the moto boots, too. I could definitely rock that look.
I do love black lace tights, though. I've collected a few very pretty pairs of these over the years, so I can really rock them come Fall!
The chains, boots, and tights I've got covered. Beanies, though? For reals?
