Fall-ow These Three Rules.
Are you ready to hit your favorite stores to
stock up on new clothing and accessories for fall?
You don't want to begin your shopping
until you read our three fall shopping rules.
Shop Timelessly
We hear this phrase time and time again. Shop pieces
that will always be in style so after this year you can
actually wear them again. My favorites are some great
cashmere cardigans, a great wrap dress, sweater dresses,
a few pairs of really good jeans as well as nice black pants.
J CREW, $188 |
ELIE TAHARI, $198 Don't Indulge Too Much in Trends |
Trends is the keyword in this sentence and there is a reason
why you shouldn't spend your whole weeks paycheck on the
latest trend you saw sported in ELLE MAGAZINE. Trends and
fads come and go and blowing too much money on pieces
you won't wear again is just a waste of money. To give in but
not over do it, purchase your self some accessories or more
affordable pieces and don't base whole looks around a
particular trend. Dressing from head to toe in say..
Leopard will just make you look like your trying
too hard.

Make A List
Despite what you might think, just because fall comes
around, that is no excuse to buy "new" things you already have.
Something I do whenever I go shopping, whether it is for
dresses or accessories, I always imagine my closet
in my head and think of what exactly I NEED. Imagine
your closet and what pieces you already have and how you
can incorporate them into other seasons. Make a list of what
you need so you have a strict idea of what to
look for. Summer and spring blouses are great to
wear under chunky knits or for layering. Buying
things you don't need just create an
overly full closet and empty wallet.
