Fall Fashions For The Frugal
(CBS)
Looking to expand your wardrobe past your autumn staples? Even if you've just blown most of your budget on back-to-school supplies for the kids, you can still afford some fabulous fall fashions for yourself.
We asked Dawn Yanek of Life & Style Weekly to show us how.
She honed in on four basic looks; each complete look costs $100 or less!
"You don't need to spend a ton of money to look amazing and trendy for the fall," Yanek says. "You also don't need to get rid of all your clothes from last season. With a few smart purchases, you can easily update your current wardrobe for fall 2007. Fashion is more accessible and affordable than ever, and that translates into great buys and bargains for all of us!"
