The Look for Less
Let's face it, we're slaves to fashion. At least everyone at she she me HQ is. We can't help it - all of the glossy pages, the endless outfits and the latest must-haves. All of the seasons and trends past just fade deeper into the closet.

I have to tell you, fall is no brisk picnic on the ole leather wallet (newly purchased of course) and I'm looking to expand the wardrobe without depleting the funds. I know a good number of you feel my pain and so I've taken it upon myself to hunt for the fall looks for less. Let's call it DDD (Designer Duds at Discount). I have to say, 'bargain' shopping can be a bit of a thrill. It does take awhile longer and you do have to be wardrobe self-sufficient, but its well worth the time and lack of money spent. Some of our most trusted retailers look great for fall and I'm quite sure I've found a few items that are guaranteed to bring the runway home.

My Short List
1.Thick skin. If you can't bag the Prada croc (and you're not alone), check out Dooney and Bourke's equally chic and wonderfully cheap (as in price not quality) skin tote. You can even order it in your signature color.
2. A bit of tweed. I love GAP's tweed pencil. (Solve 2 trends with one peice.) While you're there, pick up one of their extra-long mufflers.
3.Am dying for these gloves, but these chic drivers by Banana Republic are an easier purchase.
4.Sleek Bag. I live for this hot pink number.
5.And for the feet. . . Bluefly.com is my Mecca for discount shoe shopping. There is no better place for boots. Its not really fall until you have your boots.
