Are you interested in shopping for fall/winter right away? Here are some top suggestions to look into that won't be tough on your wallet.

1. Cobalt Coats and Jackets

Skip the black and love the cobalt! While this color is bright and exciting, it's still grime-resistant and fun.

2. Cream and Ivory

Stock up on winter whites instead of stark white. You can pair it with any dark denim in a pinch, and ivory is nice and bright against any skin tone. There are also a lot of ivory-striped pieces available if you don't want a solid piece.

3. Ruffles Around the Neckline

Ruffles on skirts and dresses are hot for fall, but why not try something with a creative layer of ruffles near the neckline?

4. Textured Fabrics

Hunt down texture for fall, like wool, faux fur, and textured cotton for the southern girls.

5. Mesh Panels

Daring? Mesh panels in strategic places are perfect for going out in fall, and you can trade them for lace just as easily.
