Cooler weather maybe weeks away but its time to start shopping for the latest fall trends and back to school wear. Being a Budget Fashionista has become not only chic, but necessary.
Luxe is definitely one of the major themes for fall 2008. Designers are showing basic wardrobe staples and whimsical accessories as key items this season. Pairing these items together will not only stretch your wardrobe looks but stretch your budget.
Skinny Jeans, by Used, TAG, Hudson, and 7 for All Mankind look great worn with silk blouses. There are some lovely florals and solids by designers like Derek Lam, Cavalli and PRADA. A Burberry Trench or Anne Klein Retro fitting coat is a basic you can pair with an exaggerated accessory. Try wearing an embellished belt by Linea Pelle, Costume National, or Dolce and Gabbana cinched at the waist.
The necessary accessory of the moment seems to be the tote bag, and the bigger the better. Check out an exaggerated luxury tote by Bally, Chloe, Balencia or Moschino, pretty much every accessories designer is doing a tote. The choices are not only endless but it may be difficult to choose from all the great styles.
Whether you are preparing for cool weather, or headed back to school - the time is now. Not like we need an excuse to shop or anything.
