THE DRESSING ◽ TIPS
October Cozy
by Marcy Lytle
Three looks - Do you have a dress you love but it’s a little chilly worn alone? Try three ways to cover and stay warm! A denim jacket (found at a discount store), a ribbed coat sweater (Loft) or a cardigan (discount store) and pick your layer, depending on the weather!
The summer shirt dress – Wear it open as a jacket. If it’s black, even better. Grab a deep red purse and wear your denim. This purse was a purchase from Marshalls and it’s a favorite for this season.
It’s October. Can you believe it? It’s the time to start sweater weather, and all things fall…not the false fall of last month. I began finding sweaters back in late summer, and different fall items, and now I can share them and the ideas with you!
Cozy and green – Have you ever shopped at Earthbound Trading Company? When we visit the mall, we always step inside and I walk back to the clearance section. That’s where this sweater was, and I grabbed it! You can shop this store online, as well.
Another green sweater – Cider has been a fun site to shop for me, and this oversized cozy green sweater is great for fall and on into winter. It can be worn over denim with a white tee underneath, or as a layer of warmth when those cold fronts roll in.
Gray and green – Is green my theme? Maybe… I love this gray sweater with a lime green collar, and I’m wearing it with some fun trousers I found on Amazon. The sweater is from Cider. I love it!
Oh, I love blue – This blue sweater is actually a part of a two-piece loungewear set, but I’ve paired it with a maxi skirt I have in my closet. Then I grabbed a brown purse I found last year at J. Crew Factory. Did I say that I love blue? Oh, I do!
Taupe – I LOVE taupe, paired with brown and gold. I don’t recall where I got this pull over sweater, but it’s a fun one to have this fall. And the necklace is Amazon. Taupe can be a base, or an accent, with all those rich hues of fall like burgundy, red, orange and chocolate brown!
While you’re shopping, look for rich colors, for layers, different ways to pair what you’re buying with what you have, and grab a pop of color in a new bag.
Shop at the thrift stores, the discount stores, or the clearance racks.
Save bucks, and feel like a million.
Happy fall!
