Thanks to our sinking economy,this years holiday shopping will prove to be a feat only the smart will reign in. In this day and age, gone are the days of expensive splurges. Now its all about how to make your dollar got further while still making an impact with your gift. No problem. Simple,cheap gifts that still go a long way is the new Fierce!
In past years the silk neck scarf was all the rage as everywhere we turned someone had one on. Young,old, in plaid or solids. Men and women. Well to shift things slightly,this year its all about the endless sweater scarf. Its one piece of continuous fabric in a sweater knit that can be doubled up several times over or just twice for a loose flowy look. Its great because its fashionable and warm as we enter into more cooler weather. Whats even more great, is that Forever21 has these for 8.80 in a variety of colors! So why not get a few and gift them to your favorite fashionable girls this year. Very Eco-chic!
Another great gift would be a nice belt. If anything has remained a constant this fall is that a belt does nothing but help an outfit if worn correctly. For your full figured, busty family members, stick with a skinny belt in some type of animal print or skin. A sparkly belt for them also works well. This way,the eye is draw in on the detail of the belt and not so much of what its covering. Also a skinny belt on a full figure cinches the waist which gives the illusion that its smaller. Again Forever 21 has these for just a few dollars. I got a gold,black and, purple croc skin belt for 3.50 a piece! Old Navy also has metallic belts starting at 5.00 and going up to 13.00. Tell me I cant find a bargain?
Something else worth looking into is a great pair of leather gloves. Faux leather is just as good too. With this, feel free to look at different colors and lengths. Long elbow length gloves are so cool when paired with a three quarter length jacket or sweater. Red,yellow and purple gloves are also trendy,keep them at the traditional length though. The biker gloves with cut outs for your favorite punk rock niece will fit quite nicely with the leather jacket that we're all rocking this year. Target has gloves for 17.99. Gotta love Targe't.
Now cardigans have long been something associated with old lady's who had no style. Today, that couldn't be further from the truth. Cardigans have come in and straight dominated the fashion scene. They come in long, waist length, cropped, in various materials and patterns. Its a necessity that I touched on in my first blog on Fall Trends. But more than a trend, it has proven itself to be a much needed staple. A very versatile piece that can be worn over jeans and a tee, a day dress,with or without a belt. This piece has no age limitation. Check out T.J Maxx in the woman's section as well as Ross and Marshalls. Lots of people avoid these store because of the unorganized setup at certain locations. But if you can get past that, you'll find gold in some of the top brands like Kenneth Cole Reaction, Express and Calvin Klein for a little of nothing.
