Couture Buys for the College Budget: Gray Tones for Great Prices

All items under $50 : Tilly’s Thermal Top – $13, H&M Faux Fur Waistcoat- $48, H&M Denim- $48, Classic Cut Sequin UGGS – $170, Kelly & Katie Barton Bag- $50, Guess Logo Ring – $22

The best way to standout during this season of over-done red and oranges? Edgy Neutrals. Grays, blacks and whites are making a surprising appearance this season, showing up on faux fur vests that have been gracing the runways of Custo Barcelona and the shoulders of celebrities such as Rachel Zoe, Mary Kate Olsen and Rihanna. Mixing the two new fads has created this fall wind-friendly outerwear look. As Coach released their new line of Madison handbags, the open-tote shape has made its way back in style. The Kelly & Katie Barton tote is a cheaper alternative, without sacrificing style. Perfect size for holding your textbooks, while you keep a grasp on your pumpkin spice latte.   Accentuating the light gray denim skinnies, are the transformed classic cut sequin UGGs in black. Though these are a bit of splurge for the college student, they are worth every penny. I’ve purchased many pairs of UGGs classic cut boots, each just as stylish and comfortable as the next. The sterling silver, minimalist Guess logo ring, courtesy of Guess Exclusives, perfectly fits the shades of ash. Stay fierce in the coal and cold, and keep your wallet satisfied while doing so!
