The easiest way to save money season to season, and still remain on trend is by using accessories to make an Exclamation not a Period! The good news this season it’s all about statement accessories and in women’s fashion with jewelry the bigger, brighter, and more eccentric the better! Having a few key pieces like earrings, necklaces, and eye catching handbags for women can take a “Plain Jane” outfit to runway points!

MEN’S PICK # NORDSTROM RACK $19.97

STYLE SPIN #4 DENIM DAYS ARE BACK!
Fall is about having a good pair of denim or two! You don’t have to break the bank to dress like your favorite celebrities, but the secret spin is in the denim! Go for one dark wash denim pants that are a straight fit for men, and more on the cut of skinny/bootcut for women, and then for both go for another style that is trending. For the style that is more trendy I recommend shopping at a lower cost retailers like H&M or Forever 21. Here are my picks:
WOMEN’S PICK # WET SEAL $29.90
MEN’S PICK #NORDSTROM RACK LUCKY JEANS $49.97
STYLE SPIN #5 SHOP THE SKINNY
“Shop the skinny” is no longer restrictive to grocery shopping, but clothes too! Shopping the sale or clearance section, or promotional ticket items only for fall fashion is “ shopping the skinny” in fashion! The true essence of fashion is not in buying full priced designer items fresh off the runway, but it’s shopping the clearance or sale items and making head to toe trendy looks by pushing your creative and styling talents to the limit! I love shopping the sale and clearance sections only, especially when it comes to higher ticket clothing. It gets me super excited to find ultra discounted pieces, and allows me to push my styling capabilities to new heights when it comes to creating kick-ass looks that mimic a thousand dollars when in reality they are the complete opposite!
STYLE SPIN #6 X MARKS THE HAIRSTYLE!
X marks the hairstyle! The real treasure in fashion is all in one’s hairstyle! One’s hairstyle sets the tone for their style all season. Infact, both men and women’s hair styles reflect how stylish and on trend they can be without having to shell out thousands of dollars on a new wardrobe.
STYLE TIP: Invest more money towards getting a nice cut from a senior stylist. Research salons in your area and go for a few consultations with different stylists before agreeing upon on a new style. Key areas to focus on when getting a new cut are the texture and condition of your hair and the cut should always take in account the shape of your face, jaw line, and eyes. A good stylist will cut your hair according to those factors. Also, with color it’s best to focus on colors that are going to warm and brighten your complexion and eye color. Look at your undertone and see if you are warmer or cooler and that’s very important when coloring one’s hair. Take in account styling options for your lifestyle
