Fall fashion picks.

Due to the ongoing recession, I decided to post some affordable picks for the Fall/Winter. I usually tell people to invest in shoes, bags and classic items. Super trendy clothing pieces such as tops, dresses and accessories aren't worth spending a ton on, which is why Forever 21 is such a great source.

I'm an accessory hoarder and seeing all these beautiful finds on the F21 website is making me drool.

People have been asking me questions on buying boots, so I've decided to put in a few tips:

• Boots are an investment. Go leather, Pay more, feel better and wear them longer. Expect to spend at least 80+ retail. The key is to find them on clearance.
  
• Try shoes on at a local department store and then find them cheaper online. At least now you know how they feel/look on you.
  
• Go for classic colors if you intend on spending more for your boots. Neutrals, black, grays, red, you'll never get tired of these shades and they go with everything!
  
• Properly store your leather boots back into the box when you're done wearing them for a season, otherwise the leather will start to dry out.
  
• Get over the UGGs. They have and never will be considered chic. They're only practical when there's snow.
  

 Bags. Spend more, buy fewer and they will last longer. I'm not a huge fan of designer monogram. Small logos are okay. Go for all-leather if you decide to buy a classic bag that you will keep for years. Loehmanns, TJ Maxx and Nordstroms Rack are excellent choices for a variety of designer bags. 

Alright, that is all for today. TGFCW (Thank God for cooler weather) !!
