Fall Fashions For Less
With stores full of fall fashions, many women are thinking about autumn attire.
But it doesn't have to cost you a pretty penny.
The latest issue of Glamour magazine has ideas for your fall shopping. Glamour's executive fashion editor at large, Suze Yalof Schwartz, brought several of her favorites to The Early Show Wednesday — and they're all reasonably priced, going for less than $200.
LOOK 1: DRESSED UP LITTLE BLACK DRESS
The new little black dress has volume, embellishment and craftsy little touches that make it perfect for special occasions. Pairing it with the ultimate shiny black tight from Wolford with a sexy seam up the back and an oversized jeweled silver clutch makes this a chic nighttime look.
DRESS: MAC AND JAC $109
TIGHTS: WOLFORD $65
CLUTCH: STEVE MADDEN $58
SHOES: NINE WEST $89
CUFFS: GERARD YOSCA
LOOK 2: SOMETHING GREY
The color for fall '07 comes in everything from bags to sheaths; wear it with black, white, jewel tones, or more grey. The pants have a fall-ready, high-waisted wide leg shape. A jewel-tone purple bag is the perfect compliment to this monochromatic look.
SWEATER: IZAAK $80
PANTS: EXPRESS $59
NECKLACES: GERARD YOSCA
BAG: MAXX NEW YORK $148
SHOES: NINE WEST $119
LOOK 3: AN 'O7 SUIT
A modern take on workday norms, the suit this fall has a shorter, slim, pencil skirt and a blouson-y top with major sleeves. You can wear both pieces together for maximum effect, or mix each piece with more casual items. A white bag with black trim looks great with an all-black outfit and just as chic with a white T-shirt and jeans.
SUIT: BANANA REPUBLIC — jacket, $129 skirt, $88
BAG: MAXX NEW YORK $128
BRACELETS: VAUBEL DESIGNS
TIGHTS: HUE $11
SHOES: STEVE MADDEN $129
LOOK 4: A NEW SHAPE COAT
Coats get turned out with the same trends as your clothing — pleats, bell sleeves, unexpected volume, and brights. Coat from WD-NY is the perfect pink, and cozy enough to live in all fall. Mini-boots that came on the scene last fall are everywhere now, at all price points. Show them off with minis and same-color tights.
COAT: WD-NY $138
DRESS: BCBG GIRLS $89
TIGHTS: HUE $11
BAG: GAP $49
SHOES: PIPERLIME/ALDO $99
LOOK 5: A MAJOR COLOR DRESS
The big colors this season are saturated brights. To look bold, not loud, keep it to one major color piece per outfit. When it comes to gold accessories, the mantra this fall is, "The more, the merrier"! Any gilded add-ons (such as a hardware-heavy clutch, a cuff, or a pair of shoes) are a quick and easy update for your style.
DRESS: ZARA $129
BAG: STEVE MADDEN $98
CUFF: FRAGMENTS
SHOES: COLIN STUART $58
