Trend: Ruffle Cardigans for less than $100
Since I am too poor to buy a luxe ruffled leather coat this fall, I'm setting my sights at the more affordable horizon. Ruffle-adorned cardigans are stylish and comfortable. Functional and a tad bit girly are just two terms I'd use for this trend. (Incidentally, they are also two words I'd use to describe myself...I am officially a ruffled cardigan.)
Happy Shopping with these styles under $100:
One thing I CAN agree with Karl Lagerfeld on…
...is sequined blazers.

With all of the 80's throwback fashions, it can be blinding (haha) figuring out what pieces flatter a modern outfit. The best thing about these jackets is that all body types can wear them. Pair a sleek jacket with a skirt, leggings, or jeans --they're that versatile. What should you be looking for in a great blazer, besides a pretty price tag? Make sure the lining of the coat is substantial; the sequins can be itchy without it. Also, note the size of the sequins themselves. Generally, the larger the sequins, the more vintage-y it looks. Lastly, single color sequins are sleeker while mixed rainbow colors add some flair to an otherwise basic outfit. Shop for inexpensive, stylish options here (plus a few sequin shrugs and sweaters, too):
Spend/Thrift: Fall Florals
Men and women across the country are dusting off their cardigans. I try to buy at least one each fall (more like 10, actually) and this season, I'm thinking a fall floral print will make a nice addition. This cashmere, deep purple-grey print is ideal, but the price is not at $545. Click and buy if it fits your price range:

But I'm looking more toward Forever 21's very similar sweater ($22.80). It's not cashmere but, but a $500+ residual, I'm willing to make the sacrifice:
