FASHION BLOGGERS Our resident blogger, Arielle Parr is back to tell us how to transition to a cool weather wardrobe! Autumn is right around the corner and now is the time to update your wardrobe! With only a few weeks of summer left to enjoy, the days will soon grow cooler and you don't want to “Fall” behind on the trends. Before you start shopping for new clothes, a summer-to-fall closest change-over is necessary. STEP 1 STEP 2 Raid your closet and pack away all things summer. This is also the perfect time to purge old clothes that have been collecting dust. If you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it! Don't try it on, don't think twice, just toss it in a bag and drop it off at the nearest thrift store. Now that you have space in your closet for new fabulous fall fashion, the next step is to create a shopping list. If you're on a budget, this is the best way to stay on target and spend wisely. First, list the must-have pieces that you will need such as sweaters, scarves, leggings and boots. These are the items to focus on buying first. Then list items you want to splurge on, such as that irresistible leather skirt or those funky platform heels. If you're behind on the latest trends get inspiration from your favorite blogs and magazines. TIP Try arranging the clothes in your closet first by type (tops, skirts, pants, etc), then by color. 17
