key style tips to build a fall capsule
If you at the point where you really don’t want to continually buy new clothes and you would rather have those all-important basics covered so your wardrobe works more effortlessly every day, here are some tips to help you strategically build out your basics.
Stick to a color palette – For fall look at earth tones like olive, cream, rust, and chocolate. They are gorgeous and very easy to mix and match.
Mix high and low – Decide which basics are worth investing more in and save money on the rest. Personally, I never skimp on outerwear or bags. I can always grab jeans, sweaters, blouses, etc for less.
Layer smart – Lightweight sweaters and jackets make transitional dressing a cinch! No need to overcomplicate the between time. Just dress in layers.
Add personality – Don’t forget accessories like chunky rings, structured bags, and fun necklaces to complete your look. Right now both bangles and pendant necklaces are trending and will likely stick around a while.
look fabulous without spending a fortune
Q: How can I look stylish this fall without spending a lot?
A: It’s easier than you think! Start by identifying the basics you’re missing and create a list. Then, strategically decide which of those wardrobe workhorses are worth a splurge. For me, that’s usually outerwear and handbags. Next, choose pieces in high-quality fabrics and versatile neutral tones that mix and match seamlessly with what you already own. It’s about intentional style, not endless shopping. And you certainly don’t have to spend a fortune. You’ll be amazed at how far a few thoughtful additions can take your wardrobe to the next level.
Remember, great style isn’t about the price tag—it’s about expressing your personality with confidence. And confidence? That’s always in style.
