Fall Fashion Looks for Less
It’s that time again! The changing of the leaves means the changing of the seasons, means you need a new fall wardrobe! But, who can afford to get the latest designer sweaters, boots and coats, while still having enough for a $4 latte each morning? Luckily, there are amazing bargains online to be had this season.
From eBay Style Director, Constance White, I learned that this fall five of the key trends we’ll be seeing are “menswear,” “yellow,” “Anglomania,” “preppy” and “shine.” In a nutshell, dark yellow is a key color in the fall 2007 palette, alongside other colors such as periwinkle, moss green, dark teal, purple magenta and chocolate brown. Feminine inspired menswear is a key look for work wardrobes. “Preppy” speaks for itself and “shine” is anything metallic, but just a little more muted or subdued than the metallics of spring and summer. And what exactly is Anglomania? Anything reminiscent of gentrified hunting parties in “Merry Olde England.”
Here are some great finds in line with some of the season’s trends that I can’t keep all to myself!
Hayden Goldenrod Cashmere Sweater
This color is so IN for fall. Buy a size or two larger than you normally wear so it hangs longer and pair it with some thick tights instead of pants.
Retails for $279, get it at Shopping.com merchant Bluefly for $129.
Tahari by Arthur S. Levine Black Pinstriped Blazer
Tahari is perfect for professional women that want to imbue power in the boardroom without looking like one of the “boys.”
Retails for nearly $200. Get it at Shopping.com merchant SmartBargains for $69.99.
Alvin Valley Tan Tweed Pedal Pushers
These pedal pushers channel English riding breeches to a T. Wear them with the jodhpuresque boots below by Gucci to complete the Fox and the Hound look.
Retail for $255, get them at Shopping.com merchant Bluefly for $153.
Gucci Brown Leather ‘Pelican’ Boots
If wearing these boots with tweed pants is just too “Prince Charles” for you, wear them with a dress or skirt to look like a true lady.
Retail at $1,095, get them at Shopping.com merchant Bluefly for $876.
Laundry by Shelli Segal Black Cashmere Cardigan
Who knew a professor’s cardigan could look so good? This sweater is femmed up with small, lady-like buttons and a wrap-around tie. Wear it with slacks at the office, and a flirty skirt for dinner.
Retails at $275, get it for $89.99 from Shopping.com merchant SmartBargains.
