Autumn is officially here, and there’s no better way to kick off the season than by updating your wardrobe and decorating your home for fall. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, now is the perfect time to try out some new fall trends.
Here are some of my favorite thrifty fall finds you can look for on your next shopping trip to the thrift store in Destin, FL:
Faux leather jackets
No fall wardrobe is complete without a stylish faux leather jacket. Along with the classic black “biker” jacket, some top trends for fall include beige, red, and white faux leather jackets.
You can dress up your jacket by wearing it over a fall dress with tights and boots, or dress it down with a simple tee shirt and jeans. The outfit possibilities are endless, plus you’ll stay warm all day while looking effortlessly cool.
Because leather jackets are so timeless, you can often find them at your local store for far less than department store prices.
All things plaid
In 2018, we’ve seen a return of the most iconic looks from the 1990’s, including plaid. From matching plaid patterned suit sets to plaid jackets, blouses, scarves, and handbags, there’s no shortage of ways to wear this fall trend. You can even incorporate the stylish print in your home décor with plaid tablecloths, bedding, curtains, and rugs.
Winter-ready boots
With wintery weather on its way, you’ll need a great pair of boots (or two!) to ensure you’re prepared for rain and snow. Some of the top footwear trends of this fall are animal print booties, low cut cowboy boots, and 80’s inspired kitten heels.
Elegant jewel tones
Rich, luxurious colors inspired by jewels are another emerging fall trend that you can incorporate into your wardrobe or home! Look for clothing and accessories in emerald, navy, sapphire, ruby, fuschia, and topaz to add a pop of color to any outfit.
Jewel tones are also perfect for decorating your living space and bringing some warmth into your home. For a vibrant Thanksgiving centerpiece idea, look for clear or colored glass vases that you can fill with jewel-toned flowers such as roses, chrysanthemums, or black-eyed Susans.
When you shop at thrift stores, you’ll get so much more than a great deal. You’ll also get the satisfaction of your purchase makes a difference for people facing barriers to employment.
At stores, the proceeds from the sale of donated goods help to fund job placement services and programs for individuals with disabilities and our nation’s veterans.
You can feel great knowing that the dollars you spent at thrift stores are reinvested back into your community to change lives and strengthen the local economy!
