Must Have Fall Essentials!

Fall is upon us! September 23rd marks the first day of the fall season! After a very hot and humid summer we welcome fall with open arms and warm coats.  That means its time to dig through our closets, basements, attics or any other nook we have stored our fall/winter clothes in.

If we find that some of our warmer clothes needs a little updating it is good to know what we really need to get through the next few months.  With the state of the economy it is probably necessary to buy the essentials and figure out a way to extend our clothes through many seasons.  The following are some essentials that will get you through the next few months without making a hole in your pocket:

1. A warm coat or jacket. Depending on where you live you can get a lighter or heavier jacket. Leather and denim jackets are popular this season. A denim jacket would be a very affordable option that can be easily dressed up or down.  If you live in a colder climate a longer coat would be a good investment. A neutral color would be your best bet. Instead of the usual neutrals like black and brown think outside the box like gray, beige or white. These are just as wearable and polished and not so expected.

2.  Boots. This is can also be a good investment. This season boots come in all different shapes and sizes. From booties which barely cover the ankle to thigh high boots. They also come in all different heel options. Try to pick something comfortable yet stylish.

3.  A warm sweater. Cable knit sweaters and cardigans are everywhere. They have a very polished look and are very versatile.

4.  A scarf.  A great way to change an outfit and obviously stay warm. Pick a few scarves with different colors and styles.

5. Long tees or shirts for layering. The best way to stay warm. Layering.  Look for simple options like plain tees in different colors and button down shirts. The button down men's style shirt is universally flattering on everyone no matter what your shape or size.

6.  Leggings or tights. An easy way to make a summer dress into a fall/winter dress. They come in tons of great colors and styles and are very affordable

7. Accessories. An easy way to shine this fall/winter season. This season it's about all things that glitter like silver and gold. Animal prints are also popular and a great way to add some fun to your look.

Happy Shopping!
