With summer coming to a close soon, girls are beginning to restock their closets with fall fashion. When the time comes to pack away those patterned shorts and pull out your fall boots, here are some money-saving tips.

Shop the outlets.

This may seem very obvious, but when the urge to shop hits, many go straight to the mall. Outlets have some great finds at some great prices, and while some stuff may be from last year, you can always find some basics for your wardrobe at affordable prices.

Goodwill is your friend.

Fall fashion includes oversized flannels, cardigans, sweaters, jackets, etc., and who wants to drop $50 on a thin flannel two sizes too big for you? Your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or other thrift store probably has a ton of these fall staples for super cheap. You may have to wash everything once or twice when you get home, but no one will know the difference.

Learn how to make scarves.

Thick knit scarves are going to be popular again this year, and can be easily made. Don't just pin how to make these scarves, actually learn how to make them this season. Not only will you look great, but you can brag about your mad knitting skills and make them as presents.

Shop the men's section.

Boyfriend jeans are coming back, so why pay for them in the women's section when you can walk five feet and get them cheaper in the men's clearance section? They are called boyfriend jeans, after all, so think outside the box and try on some of their jeans. You can also find some great shirts for layering and button up shirts on their side of the store.
