I Spy: Trends for Less
Let's face it, we just spent all of our money buying books for the fall semester, but we still have this overwhelming desire to keep up with fashion trends. The good news is it's totally possible to keep up and save money. Here are the trends I'm loving for this fall.
Denim
Who says you can't wear denim on denim? Whether it is a dress, a button down, a vest, a jacket or a pair of jeans, denim is in. But before you go buy a jean jacket at Urban or Forever, check out Goodwill or Thriftsmart. These places are denim gold mines. Here's a tip though, we can't all get our vests from the Goodwill in Berry Hill so branch out. I've been going to the one on Charlotte since high school and it's got the good stuff; plus, you can cross the street when your done and get a milkshake from Bobby's Dairy Dip and who doesn't want that?

Peplum
Peplum is definitely a trend you want to take part in this fall. It's everywhere, on TV, on the runway and on the streets. It just gives your average outfit an extra kick and it does wonders for your curves.

Grunge
I'm really all about the 90s grunge comeback this season. This is where my outfit essentials come into play. Boots and a leather/jean jacket go with everything. This is also the perfect opportunity for you to wear that over-priced band tee you waited in line for tucked into some high waisted shorts. For the full how-to on 90s grunge, check out my posts from earlier this summer on my personal blog, I Am.
