1. Affordable Jeans: Uniqlo
For a store that’s all about being unique, Uniqlo sure does carry a ton of basics at budget-friendly price points. There aren’t many places you can snag jeans for under $40 that also offers complimentary tailoring. Now that’s worth taking note of.
Women Ultra Stretch Jeans, $29.90 at Uniqlo.

2. Ankle Boots: Anthropologie
Every girl needs an ankle boot she loves, or two or 10 (aren’t we all shoe collectors?). Anthropologie is bringing it this season in the boot department. The sheer amount of cool ankle boots is mind-blowing, and this Rachel Zoe design looks especially versatile. Just take note, however, that many of the boot styles are sold exclusively online.
Rachel Zoe Mona Boots, $495 at Anthropologie.

3. Luxe-for-Less Handbag: T.J. Maxx
If you can only splurge on one thing this season, make it your bag. Your bag goes in-tow daily, and a nice one elevates any outfit. T.J. Maxx is known for deep designer discounts, and carries this season’s styles. So, you can score a deal on top brands like Diane von Furstenberg, more affordable collections like Olivia + Joy or QVC favorite, B. Makowsky.
Halston Heritage Leather Small Crossbody, $199.99 at T.J. Maxx.

4. Flannel Shirts: Old Navy
Cozy up to this 90s, grunge-inspired trend that famous fashionistas Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner are all fans of. Style it like a celebrity by tying the top around your waist, then wear it as a jacket when the temperature drops. Go up a size for a loose fit that’s easy to layer or opt for a boyfriend fit like this one from Old Navy that's now on sale.
Women’s Plaid Flannel Boyfriend Shirt, $20 at Old Navy.

5. Mod Girl Styles: Nasty Gal
The 90s aren't the only era experiencing a resurgence this fall. Say hello to the swinging 60s with black and white prints, Peter Pan collars and mini skirts. Nasty Gal embraces this decade, and the way the models are styled will leave you with outfit inspiration for retro-vibing days to come.
Check It Out Sweater, $88 at Nasty Gal.
-
6. Upgraded Workwear: Target
Target’s newest designer collaboration may be the best one yet. Python print blazers and pencil skirts under $50, oxford shirts, waist-cinching belts and to-die-for trench coats are just some of what encompasses the Altuzarra for Target collection, available starting September 14. The line looks fit for a magazine editor’s wardrobe at a cost worth waiting in line for.

7. Knits: ASOS
Get ready for sweater weather and layer up with this fall favorite. The quest for the perfect long cardigan, crop sweater or knitted dress doesn't have to require leaving your couch. At ASOS, the styles go on and on, and spending over $25 gets you free shipping both ways, in case you end up changing your mind when it arrives.
Maxi Cardigan in Fluffy Yarn, $67.71 at ASOS.
-
8. Work-Friendly Crop Tops: Nordstrom
Since when did crop tops become OK for work? Since they started looking so darn chic. The style has a way of elongating legs, just be sure to pair with a high-waisted bottom to prevent too much skin showing while on the job.
Chelsea28 Embellished Crop Top, $68 at Nordstrom.

9. Silk Blouses: C. Wonder
Your top half naturally attracts more views than your bottom, so keep that in mind next time you’re getting dressed. Great for work and play, a comfortable and classic silk blouse polishes up your basic jeans and adds personality to a power suit. C. Wonder’s silk blouses come in solid designs as well as fun patterns, feel good on the skin and the price isn’t terrible.
Polka Dot Silk Shirt, $128 at C. Wonder.
