Fashionably Affordable

Last night my girl friend and I went to a pre-season shopping event with an on-site fashion consultant at a local boutique. While I didn't take any pictures, I took in some of the fashion trends. Keeping budget and style in mind (because I can't afford a $300 shirt), I took that advice and looked up some pieces on one of my favorite online stores, Lulus.

Comfortable and feminine pieces in olive green and other neutral colors
Simple Syrup Olive Green Dress - $36
Booties
Anne Michelle Strut 69 Gray Faux Suede Lace Up Booties - $33
Sheer top with fun undergarment
Nocturnal Half Sleeve Croppy Top by Alternative Apparel - $37
Belts (skinny or fat)
Gilda Crochet Belt - $12
Leather pants
BB Dakota Geary Taupe Leather Pants - $140
Military style
Not-So-Drab Army Jacket by Aryn K - $99

    Thank goodness for stores like Lulus, right? I love all these items and these Fall trends are not only cute, but fun to wear! I'm definitely stocking up on olive greens, nudes, and booties for Fall.

    Five minutes before reading this, I was searching for grey oxfords -- if that pair didn't have heels, I'd snatch them up right now (I'm terribly clumsy)!

    Think I'm slowly becoming a fan of the booties... guess I just need to get over my fear of skinny jeans :)
