As the leaves change color, the time has come again to update our wardrobes with the latest and greatest fall accessories and garments. Undoubtedly, the only trouble is not all of us have a few hundred dollars to spare on upscale/high-end clothing items, especially when there are dozens of trends that we want to experiment with. Thankfully, a new wave of affordable goods are available and within reach for those of us who are "ballin' on a budget" and barely getting by as clueless, broke college students (truth, HA!) As a Fashion major or realistically speaking, a girl, shopping always makes us emotionally, lustfully, and aesthetically pleased.
Ahead, find five of the most popular fall fashion trends for 2015—all within affordable price ranges. And yes, you guessed it; these trends are available in department retailers close to you!
1. High-Waisted Flare Jeans
If you thought the whole '70s trend was long gone, well think again, because this season is all about the flared jeans making a strong comeback. Just like Luann de Lesseps from the "Real Housewives of New York City" once said, "Don't be like, all uncool," because sporting them like a champ will be deemed necessary this fall!
New York & Company
pants; available at just $69.95 or BUY 1 GET 1 $10
2. Ruana
This piece is particularly great because of its versatility! Wear it draped, pinned, belted, or naturally hung loose. It also makes a great statement piece, not to mention it'll keep you warm during those arctic-like temperatures (Midwest is best, right?!?)
Find this look at Kohl's; available for only $32.99
3. Over-the-Knee- Boots
Also known as "thigh highs," this season is all about bringing in suede. Pair these babies up with shorts, skirts, or even that skimpy dress you're hesitant about. After all, throwing on a trench coat makes it completely fall appropriate.
Rounded/Pointed toed boots can be found at; ASOS, Macy's, H&M - $65
4. Denim Dress
Denim is an all-year-round alternative for just about any occasion. Denim dresses are flattering for almost any body type. (ALL YOU SEE IS LEGS, LEGS, LEGS!) Dress them up or dress them down any way you'd like!
Dress available at Forever 21, H&M, Topshop for under $40
5. Joggers
Who said you can't look fashionable while feeling absolutely comfy? Probably the HOTTEST trend right now, is what we like to call "athleisure." Joggers go along with jackets, sweaters, and tunics. Pair them up with some trainers and you are the coolest chick in town.
Joggers available at Zara, H&M, Forever 21 for $25 & under
SHOP AWAY, MY FELLOW BROKE GALS!
