Updating Your Fall Wardrobe for Under $40

October 5, 2018

I know not everyone has fall weather yet. I mean, honestly I don’t here in Richmond. But it’s coming.

The humidity is dropping, the leaves are changing, and temps are getting just a tad cooler. And all the fall clothes are on sale!

Right now I’m really wanting to buy wool hats, cozy scarves, simple layering tops, and neutral booties for autumn. So I’m rounding up super affordable options on the blog today; they’re all under $40!

Roundup of Fall Affordable Clothing Items Accessories

Green Hat (under $25) // Tan Hat (under $30) // Black Hat (under $30)

Blue Plaid Scarf (under $13) // Red and Brown Scarf (under $28) // Beige Plaid Scarf ($24)

Black Henley (under $13) // Gray Henley (under $13) // White Henley (under $13)

Black Booties (under $40) // Taupe Booties (under $35) // Black Booties (under $30)

I used to not be a hat person, but now when it starts to get cold I can’t think of my outfit as being complete without a hat. I am a huge fan of berets and these panama style wool or felt hats. I currently have a gray and tan one already, and I love the idea of an olive one for fall.

If you’re able to resist buying soft scarves at a good price please tell me your secret! It’s so tempting for me to buy plaid scarves in every color but I’m trying to stay strong and resist. I like to stick to neutral tops with them so that my outfit isn’t too busy, and these basic henleys are a great layering piece for autumn.

I was the biggest fan of tall boots for the longest time, but I’ve really grown to love booties. The stitching on the first black pair is such a great detail that I had to include them in the post.

You may notice something missing from this roundup: pants! Not only is it hard to get a whole outfit into one graphic, but instead I’d like to refer you to the jeans I’ve worn recently on the blog that are on sale for $15 right now. They’re your basic dark skinny denim and I wore them with a faux wrap top here and earlier in the week with a blazer and graphic tee here. They’re a good blend of stretch and structure.

With that I’ll leave you to your weekend! Happy Friday and hope you find some great deals on fall items this long weekend 🙂

I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of m I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of my favorite thrift finds in a blog post, and I'm currently wearing this vintage sequin sweater today ❇️ I bought it for 99¢ during @arcthrift 's annual sweater sale, and it needed some help. I used dish soap to get a few white spots out of the fabric, and mended a small tear at the seam 🪡 I don't normally give that much care to my thrift finds, but this silk/angora/rabbit hair blend was so soft and the sequins are in perfect shape, so I gave it a shot! Very glad that I did ☺️ #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condi Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condition vintage suede and wool coat I got at the Goodwill bins 😝 It's THE winter vacation coat if you ask me ❄️ Since you pay by the pound at the bins, this stunner cost about $5 😱 As a matter of fact, most of my outfit is secondhand: Brooks Brothers turtleneck, J. Crew jeans, and Coach purse via the thrift, and Kenneth Cole suede boots from Mercari 🏷️ Now heading home from a wonderful ski weekend in Beaver Creek 🎿 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

9 years ago we were on our honeymoon in Iceland 🇮🇸 I just had to download this image off of Facebook (hence the low quality!) to post because this coat is thrifted 😂 I still have this coat and need to wear it more! It's a simple, long houndstooth coat. I found it at a big flea market in Florence when I was studying abroad for 25 euro. Once a thrifter, always a thrifter 😝 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday
