With the fall season just around the corner, it is time to break the warmer clothes out of the closet. If you like to be on trend each season, one way to do so is by adding accessories to your everyday outfits. Trends can be in one season and out the next, so accessories are a budget-friendly way to spice up your wardrobe without spending all of your hard-earned cash. Vogue Magazine has put together a Fall 2011 accessories guide for a variety of styles, so whether you want to look a little edgy or opt for a more classic look this fall, there are a variety of accessories from which to choose. Here are a few must-have accessories:
Native or Ethnic: Check out accessories with beading or fringe, and many vintage stores may already have leather purses with beading or fringe, as was popular in the 1970s. If you are looking for a great fall boot to pair with jeans, the Colin Stuart Fringe Boot at Victoria’s Secret is a chic, low-heeled boot with a subtle fringe and buckle design.
Color Blocking: Fall can look pretty bland and dreary, especially when the plants are dormant and the sky is gray. Add some color to your life with color-blocking, which simply means to pair bold colors together. Vogue suggests a variety of palettes, such as burgundy and mustard or pairing primary colors (red, blue and green) together to create a vibrant look. Look for accessories that pair various colors together, such as the Mikko tote from YesStyle.
Earrings: On the Fall 2011 runways, earrings were noticeably longer. Whether you want a bohemian look of fringe or feathers or something simpler, long earrings are one accessory to have this fall. If you are on a budget, one great place to start for inexpensive jewelry is Forever 21. With so much to choose from at an affordable price, you can pick up many styles to enhance your daily look. Check out the Chain Fringe Earrings, Bejeweled Trimmed Earrings or Lacquered Leaf Earrings, all under $5.
Here are just a few of the Fall 2011 accessories to look out for as you start piecing your wardrobe together. Accessories, in addition to be inexpensive and versatile, allow you to change your look daily so you never end up getting bored with your style. Each of these suggested fashion trends are easily found at your favorite retail store, so you can be fashionable on any budget.
