We have had our first hint of cooler Fall weather this morning after a blazing hot week last week, which gives me hope that real cool weather will arrive soon around here. While I could happily skip over the entire season of winter, Fall is such a fun season–the apple cider martinis, football games, tailgates and pumpkin spice everything, everywhere right?
Today I rounded up a few fun Fall fashion items that are just small additions to your wardrobe for a small cost–pretty much all but one are under $30. In fact, some of these are complete steals like $25 leopard flats or a $20 cargo jacket, and my favorite $12 sunglasses. These are just a few ideas that, rather than buying a whole new outfit, are things that can take a casual outfit to a fun new level and won’t break the bank. You can just add most of these items to the basics you have–like jeans and a white or black t shirt and be transformed into a Fall fashionista 🙂

Blanket Scarves
There are countless sources for scarves but I usually buy them from Jane.com as they have good quality ones for under $15. The fall-themed plaids are perfect to throw on even with a t-shirt and jeans, and are nice to have around for evening when the temps start dropping {like night time football games!}. I was just looking at the different colors today to decide which pattern to add to my collection for this year. It is hard to pick a favorite from these muted colors and today they even have some pretty solid colors available.

I stand by the saying that leopard a neutral and feel pretty much like if you want to add something interesting and stylish to your wardrobe, a leopard accessory should be your first thought. I shared these fun shoes in this post here–for $25 they are a fun way to jazz up a plain outfit, plus they work great on days when it’s too hot for boots but you need a little more than flip flops (hello month of September 🙂 ). A leopard belt is a fun way to make jeans and a t-shirt more interesting, I am stalking this belt hoping it will come back in stock in my Target soon.
Statement Tee
blazer | shoes | necklace | jeans
Christy showed off a fun T-shirt HERE {my husband and I also have an agreement that there is absolutely no talking before coffee in the morning}, and I have a few of these tees that look cute under a cardigan sweater. I have even gotten bold enough to wear a graphic tee under a blazer a few times and it feels fun and a little sassy. I bought this blazer {in white} after seeing other bloggers wear it and it is a great wardrobe addition–especially with jeans and heels for a girls night out– and you can’t beat the price. Add a statement necklace and you are all set. For a more casual look I love these faith based t-shirts too.

Cargo Jacket
I love this jacket–mostly because I can throw it on with jeans, which is pretty much my daily wardrobe. I ordered several of this style jacket last spring and kept the one that was my favorite, even though it wasn’t expensive {and it’s on sale, and they carry it in plus too} I thought that the gold buttons classed it up a little. It’s a cute look for game day or just running around town.
Poncho Sweater
Isn’t this poncho a cute style? A poncho works for everyone–no matter what your size, and it’s plaid so it’s perfect for Fall. I like how this one looks with jeans, but I think it would be so versatile over a black dress with heels for the office. So cute and perfect for the in between weather we have right now.
Booties
OK, now I am really sharing all my secrets here but these boots are another very inexpensive but totally awesome find. I didn’t have high expectations paying what I did for them last Fall–around $30– but they have been a staple in my wardrobe. They are seriously super comfortable, are holding up great, and the gray color goes with pretty much everything.
I know I have showed off this bag before but I use mine so often (I have a summery gold and cream version I got in a fix from Stitch Fix, same brand) that I think I also need this cognac and black version. It would go with just about everything. I love the size of this bag, I can tuck a smaller cross body in it, my computer, agenda, water bottle and have everything I need when I am running around throughout the day. It’s the perfect size and a great price especially considering you get two bags for the price of one because it is reversible.
For even more affordable fashion ideas for Fall be sure to check out Glamour Farms {did you see this cute dress Christy shared earlier this week?} and use the code MAGNOLIA837 to save $10! That dress will definitely add some fun to your wardrobe this fall!
