It's getting pretty chilly outside and I, just like many of you, need to freshin' up my autumn look on a budget. Luckily Fall 2010 collections include closet stapels made chic with a good pair of scissors. This season's must have takes a cue from summer by transforming shorts into street style that is simple yet solid. Check out these wardrobe essentials from ORGANIC, Hilfiger and ADAM.

Although I encourage my clients to purchase at least two designer pieces each season, a modified version of a close fit mini short, baggie knee-length trousers, and a smartly nipped collegiate jersey two piece provide a respite for the financially strapped IF you have the time to re-create the looks at home. This post is not a license to "slash" perfectly good garments, but rather, a nod to reuse by modifying what would otherwise be landfill fodder.
So go ahead and send those slim fit slacks (with the hole in the knee) to your tailor for shortening and create a classic preppy look. While you are at it, grab the 1940's trouser that your dad no longer fits and then cut 'em and cuff 'em. Finally, breathe new life into your study hall sweats by customizing the neckline and adding dark tights for a sleek new look.
