Seven Fall Fashion Must-Have's ... (Under $25)

Hi, all! So, as you can see... fall is my favorite time of year. There's just something about the magic of the colorful leaves everywhere, the crisp air, those chilly days and cozy nights. But one of my most favorite things about fall is how you get to dress! So as the time grows nearer for us to retire our flip flops ... I'm here to help you look & feel your best this fall with these great looks for less! (Because I know how real the struggle is when trying to save in order to look fashionable while Chipotle & Starbucks exist) Let's get started!



1. The Cozy Scarf 

Cable Knit Infinity Scarf - Forever21.com

The great thing about the cozy scarf is that it is the perfect accent to almost any outfit. Whether you're going for a look that is more polished or you're long overdue for a lazy day and it's time to break out the sweatshirts again... the scarf is the best accessory to keep you looking warm & fashionable during those chilly fall days. My go to scarves are infinity knit scarves and you can snag this one priced all the way down from $10.99 to $5.99 online at Forever 21. *Currently this item is on back order..due to its great popularity, so don't waste any time & order yours today!



2. Boots 

Quipid Harnessed Riding Boots - CharlotteRusse.com

Boots are a fall fashion staple! Whether you are wearing a cute dress for a nice night out or going for a more relaxed look by wearing jeans, riding boots add just the right amount of structure to any outfit. These boots are on sale today for just $20.00 at Charlotte Russe (Online Only)! For the "effortless" look, pair these with an over-sized cable-knit cardigan or a sweater dress with textured tights.



3. Pullover Sweaters  

Waffle Knit Sweater - Forever21.com

I love cable knit sweaters because of their versatility. Literally, these sweaters pair well with just about anything in your closet. If you decide it's a skirt, jeans, or legging day...this piece is an absolute must to have in your closet this fall! This sweater is available at Forever 21 for only $17.80!

4. Chambray or Denim Shirt 

Classic Denim Shirt - Forever 21.com

I recently just purchased this and it's actually my first denim shirt and now I'm wondering what has taken me so long! This shirt looks incredible when paired with a darker denim for a more dramatic effect. But if you're all about layers.. pair this piece with that over-sized sweater we talked about or with a cardigan for a nice polished look. Another style I love is pairing your Chambray shirt with a skirt and skinny belt that brings to life your signature style!  Snag this versatile piece today at Forever 21 for only $22.90! *I checked online today & this particular Chambray is currently on a back order as well! But be sure to check out the site anyway though, there are tons to choose from to showcase your style perfectly! 




5. Statement Necklace  

Flower Statement Necklace with Ribbon - Target.com

If you're looking to make a "statement" this fall, this necklace is the one for you! I love statement necklaces because they give you a quick and easy way to add your personality to any look. To add a playful effect to your wardrobe this fall, get this necklace available at Target for $16.99.



6. Leggings & Tights 

Minicci Cable Cotton Tights - Payless.com

Okay..so if you are anything like me, you find yourself wearing leggings more than actual pants; but I mean, hey its hard trying to adult sometimes and leggings just give you that nice "ahh" moment that every girl needs to face the day. A brand I like to use for tights is by Minicci and you can find them at Payless for just $9.99! I also love using Charlotte Russe brand leggings that run as low as $6.. check out their styles here: http://www.charlotterusse.com/thumbnail/Bottoms/Leggings/pc/3390/2635.uts



7. Flannel or Plaid

Arizona Plaid Shirt - JCPenney.com

Last but certainly not least.. if there is absolutely anything a twenty-something like yourself should have in their closet, it is a flannel or plaid shirt! I love wearing plaid because it is an item in your closet that has the ability to be dressed up or down. For example, I can add a cardigan and pair it with a statement necklace and boots and instantly have a more preppy look. On the other hand, I can wear this look as is & still look great with a pair of boots and maybe even boot socks to add a bit more flare. This plaid shirt is on sale at JCPenney for only $19.99 marked down from $34.00 right now..talk about savings!

Well, it has been lovely hanging out with you for a little while friends..be sure to check back next week! Who knows what topics we will get into..But until then,
