Embellished glamour, boho chic, romantic feminity, and sexy menswear rule the autumn season. Don't sit out this September because the recession has your wardrobe allowance in a slump. Incorporate a few of fall's inexpensive but iconic pieces into your closet, and be inspired by the 10 cheapest chicest pieces I found... Here are my picks that'll keep you looking fresh and maybe even a little money in your pockets...

1. A "Girlie" piece-American Apparel Nylon Tricot Highwaisted Skirt in Toffee And what makes this one hot is that its multifunctional. You'll get alot of wear out of this soft flowy skirt. Wear it alone as a dress, as a skirt with a chiffon top for a romantic look or with a black cami for a sexy chic one.$42 ( but pays for itself over and over) Visit this link for different ways to wear.http://www.americanapparel.net/morephotos/viewer.asp?style=rnt353&n=Nylon%20Tricot%3Cbr%3EHigh-Waisted%20Skirt



2. A Shoe That Pops- Nine West's Dasolina Shoe in Purple Suede-A little on the pricey side but when it comes to shoes you just can't skimp. If you're gonna spend on anything, spend on these. This season is all about the pivotal shoe, and this one rocks. Its this season's must have color and fabric and boasts an ultra romantic design. A rich looking shoe for the price.$99



3. A Modestly Sexy Black Dress- Forever 21 Jeweled Chiffon Bubble Top-Demure necklines have resurfaced with a more subdued sex appeal taking over fashion. Jackie O era inspired cocktail shapes and curve hugging sheaths are the go to's when it comes to the little black dress. I love this one because it has an expensive looking design and is in chiffon, one of this season's hottest fabrics. It's labeled as a shirt but is long enough to skim the lower thighs...that's just enough sexy to balance it out. $29.80
   


4. The Drama Piece-Forever 21 Ruffle Wrap Shirt in Black- With opulence on deck this autumn you needn't forgoe at least one article thats gonna bring drama to any outfit. This wrap shirt adds pomp and circumtance to slouchy pants, pencil skirts and even wide-leg jeans. Use it to turn up the volume on ordinary outfits....wattage...that's this season's biggest accessory ;) $22.80



5. The Quintessential Black Skirt-Forever 21 Belted Knee Length Skirt in Black- Everyone needs one...for work or play. This one has a very flattering pleated design and adds a little more umf to that hourglass silhoutte that is celebrated this season. $17.80
   


6. A Suit-Old Navy Women's Cotton Twill One Button Blazer & Mid Rise Trouser-The suit returns and looks ultra sexy in muted tones. Black is always classic, but get creative this season by choosing a muted brown and wearing it different ways. Remember your suit doubles as two separtes, and with blazers returning as well, a suit gives you tons of options!!! $39.50 & $32.50
   


7. An Embellished Clutch-Eveningelegance.com Beaded evening bag in Advocado. Skip the department stores and the boutiques when looking for an inexpensive evening clutch this fall. I found this one at eveningelegance.com, and you can find ones like it all over the internet and at local accessory stores. Since evening bags pop this season in bauble and bejewled incrusted designs utilize bridal/formalwear shops and costume jewelry shops to find the most overembellished bags at good prices. $39.99 and cheaper lots of other places



8. A Wide Leg Jean- Mossimo Supply Wide Leg Denim Jean @ Target-The foundation of your boho chic outfits this fall, these jeans fit well and are very durable. I actually own these myself and I love them. The medium wash is great evening or day and they're really comfortable...what jeans should be!!! $24.99



9. A Chiffon Blouse-Forever 21 Floral Print Chiffon Top- This chiffon top is great because its a chiffon winter floral print, and is sleeveless. This is probably the most versatile piece of the bunch and can be worn with EVERYTHING else on this list. A great buy!!! $15.80
   


10. A Serious Bag-Angie & Lola Bucket Tote in Brown @ Target- Whether you're a jettsetter, a careerblazer, a mother, or just a devout fashionista, a big bag is necessary. This faux calfskin leather bag is very chic and looks more expensive than it is. Its big enough to hold anything and definitely hot enough to cop for fall. $39.99

And that's it!!! Those are my 10 recession Fashion picks. Remember never become a slave to trends...purchase a few trendy pieces that work well with your wardrobe and remain true to YOUR style. Keeping up with fashions doesn't mean completely changing your style with the weather it means building upon it with the season's new pieces. Always keep in mind that the price of clothes doesn't always necessarily make them look good, but feeling happy in them with some extra cash to spare sure does make them feel good. Its the woman that makes the clothes..the clothes never make the woman...exude confidence in these recession picks and you'll look like a million bucks!!!
