Fall obsession (fashion part two)

Happy Sunday everyone!  

Per request, I wanted to continue my post about affordable fashion, which you can read here.  Remember, you can look adorable without the price tag.  In addition, I'm adding a little extra treasures I have found that are not in the "clothing" category.  I know that there are a few pieces that could not be considered "fall-ish", but I'm trying to justify wearing them while it's still crazy warm.  Enjoy!

Fabulous and Fashionable

...and aFfordable!  (Like that alliteration?  Yeah, the cheese-factor mixed in with sleepiness is kicking in.)

The purpose of this post is to talk about being fashionable on a budget.  Please keep in mind that I don't have interest in purchasing the very high-end fashion pieces that are seen on the runway.  I appreciate those pieces for what they are and how beautiful they are, and they can stay in those high-end, high-priced boutiques.

Here are few simple rules I follow:

Thou shalt not buy at full price.

Thou shalt try on before you purchase.

Thou shalt be patient.   

If you don't love it in the store, you won't wear it.

Here are some of my favorite treasures I have found.  Please excuse the camera quality.  Below each picture, you will find this system: original brand and then place of purchase.
