If you spent your entire summer in a swimsuit or sweats rarely thinking about clothing, now is the time to get back up to date with the latest fashions for back to school. After talking to the stores around downtown Auburn, it is clear that this fall is going to be a season of jewel tones and bold accessories. So if rich, dark purple is the new black, then we are in for a colorful fall.

So pull back out your flat boots and continue wearing the animal prints from last season. In addition to these fashion items, warm sweaters and cardigans with little belts will be making an appearance as the temperatures get cooler.

Also, do not forget to stock up on orange and blue items which are always in style during football season.

Running a little low on cash? Well, this fashion season is perfect for saving money. A lot of the items, including flat boots, leggings, animal prints and chunky sweaters, have been in style before and are returning to the fashion scene or continuing to stay in style from the previous season.

Another way to save money is to look at the sales going on at a lot of the downtown stores. Also, thrift stores and stores like Plato's Closet sell designer looks for less. Many department stores and name brand retailers have clearance items and sales on their websites.

So just remember to experiment with the new styles to find what looks best on you, and most of all, have fun with it!
