Scarves
These accessories are great because you can use them for fall and winter, if you buy the right colors. Buying browns, reds, greens, and yellows will help you to be stylish with the earthy fall colors and these colors will "pop" again next season with the staple black and white of winter. You can pick these up for cheap at stores like Target, Claire's, and Wal Mart. Also you can rummage through end of the summer garage sales looking for classic styles that people threw out during spring. If you don't want to spend money on new ones, check the scarves you already own. If you own outdated colors, you might try bleaching the scarf and re-dying with store bought dyes.
Light-Weight Outer wear
Right now, stores are trying to clear out their spring and summer wear to make room for the holiday goodies. Take advantage of these sales and pick up some spring outer wear for you wardrobe. Looks with 3/4 sleeves are great for fall because of the layering effect. You can throw on one of your tank tops from summer under the jacket or sweater to update the same shirt for fall.
Dark Colors
Fall is the perfect time for dark colors. Now is the time to dig in the back of your closet for the dark clothing that would be way to hot in summer. Many stores will offer late summer styles in dark colors. These are clothing that will fit the bill for fall fashion, but will keep you cool enough for those hot days.
Layering
This trend is hot for two reasons. First because you can create a unique look and second because you can shed or add layers depending on the temperature. Use camisoles from spring and summer to layer under tee shirts and jackets. Or use lightweight layers to create a casual look.
Jeans
There is no law that says you must buy new jeans every season, so reuse! Use your skinny jeans from last year and cuff them for a hot capri. Or take your old pair of khakis and do the same. By cuffing the bottom, you are still allowing yourself the versatility of a long pant with the functionality for fall. If you are looking for new jeans, find a style and size that fits perfectly and buy a dark, medium and light wash. These jeans will be reusable for season to come if you purchase a classic pair without holes and embroidery.
Shoes
Just because all the stores are putting out boots does not mean you can't wear you sandals anymore. Brands like Doc Martens are good sandals that work well in fall weather. They are classic shoes that are very nice looking. The leather holds up really well so you can use them in spring as well, and this time of year you can find killer sales on every color imaginable.
Fashion is about being unique and you shouldn't have to spend a fortune to be that. Use what you have, and wear what flatters you. Reusing clothes is a very smart thing to do both fashionably and financially. By reusing you are creating a unique look that is probably not in stores and you are cushioning your bank account.
