Fall/Winter Shopping Guide 2008

Welcome to Shop In Chic's official fall/winter shopping
guide. Every season I will post a new shopping guide
to help you sort out what you have, what you need,
and find where to get the essentials.

I will cover clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.
This will guide you in every aspect of style,
trends and what looks best on you.


Fall/Winter Essential List-
Fall is a fun time to dress. The colors, the textures,
the styles, the trends. It can be overwhelming, but
once you know your personal taste ,it makes
shopping much more easy. So take the time
to look through your closet, make a list
of what you have, don’t need or want,
and so forth…

Now here is the of all the fall and winter essentials:

Sheath dress
Belted dress
Nice party dresses(for the holidays)

Fall/Winter Accessory List
You may have some of these, but you may not have all of
the accessories mentioned here. Unlike the first list
you don't need everything on this list, but at least one
pair of each of the shoes mention here, and several of
small accessories. Small accessories won't cost as much
as the the others so you can buy cheap stuff and have
fun with it.

Everyone one is different looks and taste-wise. And while

what body type. While almost anyone can wear what’s on

Good tips, but how can a cropped/fitted top be good for a tall person? Wouldn't it be too short on them?
