While light, casual clothes were fun and super easy during the summer months, you're probably excited about buying new clothes for fall and winter, right? Do you already have a list of the things you want to buy, or have you just been daydreaming about your shopping trips? Maybe you're looking for ideas on things that will create a unique wardrobe for you to enjoy during the cool fall months and then the super cold winter months.

From selecting cropped hoodies and other casual clothes to selecting dressier outfits, here are some ideas that might help you.

Cropped Hoodies

Have you noticed how cute contemporary cropped hoodies are? And, selecting hoodies with cute logos on them will just add more pizzaz to your look; for example, you could choose a cropped hoodie with a vacay logo. The great thing about this type of apparel is that hoodies are so affordable that you can have more than one. For example, select a black hoodie and a white hoodie, both with a colored logo add contrast. Hoodies are perfect for the upcoming months that aren't freezing cold. In fact, if you live in an area where people are still wearing shorts and capris, your hoodies will look adorable with those. 

Cropped hoodies will be perfect for the colder months, too, as they'll layer well with turtle neck sweaters and long-sleeved pullovers. And, of course, your cropped hoodies will look great with jeans, black leggings, and corduroy pants in any color. If it gets too warm, just pull the hoodie off and tie it around your waist or around your neck. And, when you see evidence of spring peeking around the corner, the hoodie will provide just the right amount of warmth on chilly mornings and evenings.

Dressier Outfits

Think of buying a pair of basic black slacks and a basic black maxi skirt. Then select different types of tops that will give them just the look you want. For example, if you are wearing the black slacks to work, pair them with a button-down shirt and a blazer. Then when you want to dress them up for more elegant occasions, wear them with a silk camisole or a floral tunic. 

The same goes for the black maxi skirt. Wear it with a dressy cardigan sweater set and pearls for events like luncheons or going to church. For parties and other dressier events, think of wearing a sequined top to add elegance to the maxi skirt.
