When it comes down to it, having a trendy closet can be expensive for a college girl’s budget! So weed through what you have from last year, and add a few critical pieces and accessories to update your look for this Fall 2012 season. Knowing the hottest colors for this season, you can easily update your look by adding necklaces, scarves, belts, and shoes to existing items you already have in your closet. And the best part is, new accessories make an outfit look completely fresh and brand new…without spending all of the money in your wallet! According to designers from fashion week, the Fall 2012 colors are:
Bright Chartreuse (works well paired with jade green and tangerine tango)
Pink Flambé
Tangerine Tango
Ultramarine Green (a deep, cooling, blue-green)
Rhapsody (a greyish purple)
Honey Gold
Olympian Blue
French Roast (an alternative to black/charcoal)
Titanium (a cool grey)
Rose Smoke (soft, pale, rose tone; goes well with titanium and rhapsody listed above)
Always remember, not everyone can wear every color. Decide what looks best with your skin tone. Maybe you can’t wear a blouse in one of the above colors, but you can probably accessorize with a scarf or necklace of one of those colors, paired with a shirt or dress that you already have, to recreate the entire look. As you are shopping around, keep the above colors in mind. And while you’re at it, the items listed below are staple items you must have in your closet this season!
