NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Having trouble putting together that perfect fall outfit? The seasons are changing, and it's the perfect time to change up your wardrobe too.

Designer and fashion 'it' girl Autumn Hawk says refreshing your closet can be done on a budget -- pick three new items to add this season.

First, try a duster coat or cardigan that reaches the floor.

Second, upgrade any outfit with over-the-knee boots.

Third -- wide-leg pants, like bootleg jeans. Since styles circulate, you may even already have a pair in your closet. This fall, try a pair with a high waist.

"Anything highwasited right now is in," Hawk said. "The high-waisted skirts are everything."

Experts say when you do go shopping, remember what you already have in your closet, so you can create new outfits by mixing and matching, CBS2's Meg Baker reported.

Also look out for fringe, capes or jackets you can wear over your shoulders -- and touches of fur and shearling wool.
