Hello fashion: I love you.

I do not think I can accurately explain how excited I am about this post! Ok, yes darlings, we are in a recession, but should fashion suffer?  Absolutely not! I, Marise, do solemnly swear to post three of my favorite fall/winter fashion statements that will enhance your closet while preserving your wallet. Ok ladies, grab a glass of my delicious Pinot Grigio and pay close attention to my fashion tips!

Lets begin with the perfect trench coat. No, I am not talking about those ridiculous faux leather trench coat mafia knockoffs. I am talking about the classically classy trench coat. Burberry has perfected this design: THE classic trench coat. Oh how I love Burberry… but I do not love the $2,000 price tag. Now, here is a beautiful alternative to the classic design for a mere $250: Oooooooo I love this! Throw this chic coat over any outfit for any occasion. It is so versatile and should definitely be a staple in any woman’s closet.

On to the perfect day dress. I love love love to show off my legs (even in winter!) and here is a dress you can pair with a sheer pair of leggings to make it winter-appropriate while still looking fashionably fabulous: The perfect day dress. I love a cute boat neck dress, it’s my guilty pleasure and I happily feed the addiction!  And did you see the price?  $175!  Fabulous Ann Taylor, simply fabulous.
 
And finally, the exclamation point at the end of every outfit…the shoes! Since we are traveling down the classic and chic route, look at these beauties for just $89: Shut up! These are $89!? If you want something a little trendier, get them in Pewter! It is still a classic style and the intense color only adds to the chic-ness of the design.
 
Ok ladies, enjoy my fashion tips and I better see you strutting your new looks around town! What are some of your favorite winter fashion trends? Share them with your middle sisters!
High heels and high fashion,
