Yes, you can spend a lot of money every season to stay up to date on current trends OR you can be a savvy shopper and save yourself some money! You should always strive to have key, classic pieces that are timeless in your wardrobe. An undertease black pencil skirt, a handful of colored undertease cap sleeves and a timeless SuzyQ Boutique top are perfect examples. After reading some fashion blogs, picking up a couple fashion magazines or simply watching the celebrities you will begin to see a few trends everyone is forecasting for the new season. Then you can spend money on those, scout around for the best deal and come away feeling like your money was well spent.
Here are three trends on which we think you should spend your time and money:
The Cardigan
Cardigans are back but this time with style; they're not your Grandmother's boring cardigans. Designs, colors, fabrics, lengths are all different and make for a very fun trend to play around with this fall. It is comfortable, adds the perfect layer to your outfit and is an easy trend to follow this year. A partially buttoned sweater combined with equally soft pieces can look effortlessly casual. Play around with accessories, belts and different types of bottoms.
We love this military inspired cardigan by the Gap. How perfect would this look with a brightly colored undertease layered underneath?
Brightly Colored Coats
These are tricky--sometimes the colors even great designers use are just not flattering! But when you make sure it goes with your coloring and that it is really a color you feel like you will want to wear this fall and winter, go for it! It makes an easy outfit like jeans paired with a white undertease top look just fabulous. Over at Boden they have a trench coat that's been in their Fall line for a couple years but they come out with new colors every year. I have this trench coat and love the quality and fit. Check out the colors they have this year:
Dresses with Color
Dresses with COLOR are in this Fall. You'll find dresses that are a little less formal and work for the workplace, a casual night out, etc. You'll also see dresses that cover all your assets, that are great paired with fun accessories and that have great color and patterns. For example, these are great picks from Banana Republic:
