We have a habit of dreaming the impossible dream when it comes to fashion. For example, we frequently wait until the day before a function to stop by our tailor with a dress in desperate need of hemming, hoping and praying that she can stitch it up in less than 24 hours. We also have an annoying habit of waiting until shoes go on sale before we buy, desperately crossing our fingers in hopes that a size 8 will miraculously still be available. Some may call these habits a sign of our stupidity. We prefer to refer to them as little gifts bestowed upon us by the gods of fashion.
Since the fashion gods have been so good to us this year (not only did we get that Balmain-inspired mini dress hemmed with less than 12 hours to go before our best friend's wedding but we also scored a pair of studded pink suede heels for 50% off in our size to wear with!), we thought it only fair to pass on this fashion karma to our dear readers. In preparation for stocking up your fall wardrobes with the latest and the greatest, we hunted down the must-have pieces for fall 2009 all for under $200! From bold shoulders and thigh-high boots to biker jackets and fun, furry things we've broken down everything you need to survive the upcoming fall season. We think that fulfills our quota of fashionable hospitality for the next three months or so!
