Animal Print Anything!
Oh look a picture of me! This was the other day right before work. Here I'm rocking my new animal print flats that I bought during the JCP Labor Day sale. I think I ended up paying like $20 or so for them. They are so comfy and perfect for fall!
I couldn't find my exact ones online but I did find these at Target. You know I can find anything at Target!!
"Fall Colored" Bag
Tell me that this Clarus Tote from Anthro isn't pure perfection! I want it now! It's leather, a beautiful caramel color and just perfect! The price is not bad either at under $200. I usually rock a bright bag but I will tone down the color-craziness for fall!
Black Jeans
"Don't call it a comeback! I've been here for years!" Please tell me you know who sang that! I don't want to feel that old! Black jeans have been around forever but GAP is hailing a huge "comeback" for them this year for fall. I love jeans and since I can wear them to work, you know I will be buying these soon! Like in my picture above, black jeans go great with chambray, a plain white tee or even a fancy blouse!
Dark Nail Polish
There is nothing more I love that when Essie releases their fall line and this year didn't disappoint. I can't want until my local Target (you now it!) or CVS gets these in stock. I can't even pick a favorite!
Right now I am wearing a deep purple color while I wait. Changing my nail polish is the easiest way to stay "on trend" for fall!
Booties
Booties are the perfect way for us Miami girls to rock boots without suffocating. We can style them with dresses shorts and tucked into skinny jeans. I just bought these lace combat boots from, wait for it, Kmart. Yup, Kmart and for only $24.99. I told you, I shop everywhere! I love the color, I love the lace, I love everything about these boots. Booties, especially combat, are really big this fall so if you have any lying around in the back of your closet from high school, get ready to dust them off!!
Now, if you are wondering: How can I buy all of this and stay under budget? I'm going to tell you how I do it. I make a budget every season for "upgrades" like the items above and then I go to a gift card website like Raise.com. Here I can purchase discounted gift cards to the stores I want to shop at like Target, GAP, etc. Then I pair these gift cards with online coupons and free shipping and BAM! new seasonal items and usually under budget!! What are your "top" picks for fall? Do you create a budget for seasonal items?
