Tips from stylist Kami Gray:Resale shopping is a great way to saves lots and lots of money and buy clothing and accessory items you might not normally be able to afford. For some of my personal styling clients where money is no object, they still love finding great deals on designer new-to-you clothing because who doesn't love a bargain?
This fall's trends don't necessarily need to purchased at RETAIL stores. Current fall trends like military-inspired looks, leather motorcycle jackets, ankle boots, pencil skirts, feminine, romantic blouses, double-breasted trench coats, and gold embellishments and accessories can all be found at RESALE stores for a fraction of the price.
