There's a flurry of fall fashion bombarding us from so many directions-- from what we see on TV, in magazines and on the web it can be tough to avoid the pull to completely revamp our closets for cooler weather. But most of us don't have the budget to support a total wardrobe makeover for fall. And thankfully we don't need to. We've uncovered five great fall pieces that fit the biggest trends in fashion this fall while also being tailored to your budget.
The Perfect Poncho
I don't know about you but ponchos don't necessarily bring to mind stylish images. That's definitely changing this fall. Ponchos are hot and they'll also keep the chill off. Models showing off fall 2011 styles were pulling on all kinds of ponchos, and it's definitely a trend we can all warm up to-- especially when it only costs $24.99. This Merona sweater poncho from Target.com comes in gray, brown and black which are great neutrals that will pair well with just about anything in your closet.
Taking on the Tuxedo
The tuxedo look isn't just for men. And if you watched the Video Music Awards you saw Beyoncé prove that. Women are using it as inspiration for fall looks, too. Pull on some black bottoms, a white button down and a black neck piece to rock this look just like the models did for the fall 2011 runway. Thankfully, taking this risk won't set you back much. You can find a beautiful basic white pintuck button front poplin top on sale at Fashion Bug for just $20.99. Add to that a fun black textured bow tie from Forever21.com for just $8.90 and you'll be trend-ready.
Infuse Cobalt Blue
Experts say this is the color to pump into your wardrobe if you want your closet to feel more current. It doesn't matter if it's a rich blue top, pair of pants or accessory-- just make sure you fall in love with this shade of blue.You'll want to check out this gorgeous royal blue party dress from LuLus.com. Amazingly it's just $37 and would work great for any upcoming parties or just a night on the town.
Give Bright Pants a Chance
Don't let the gray, black and brown of winter make your wardrobe feel impossibly dull. Throw in a shot of color unexpectedly—with a bright pair of pants. These are popping up at retailers all over so they should be a fairly accessible trend for all. You can find them online for about the same price as a large pizza. Asos.com is selling a bright pink pair of skinny jeans for $20.12.
Polka Dots are Spot On
Polka dots were spotted all over the runways for fall 2011. And soon you'll find them in just about every store. Bring this trend to your own closet with an affordable piece like the Vanishing Dot Skinny Scarf from Ann Taylor Loft. It's $29.50 and embodies retro glam.
