It’s the perfect time to update your wardrobe
for fall, now that the weather has cooled.
Local boutiques and resale shops offer many
fashion choices minus the inconvenience of mall
parking or the expense of department stores.
Joy Yurcaba, store manager at Lizard Thicket,
located in the Boulevard Shops on Chandler
Boulevard outside Chandler Fashion Mall, says
patterned leggings, scarves, tunics, vests, hats
and other accessories are in style and affordable
this year—perfect for updating your fall
wardrobe.
Julie Tenney, owner of the new Lorelei Boutique
at McClintock and Guadalupe in Tempe,
suggests layers for fall to adapt to the changing
temperatures—cooler in the mornings and
evening, warming up during the day.
Start with a lightweight top or tank and add a
denim shirt or lightweight jacket. A denim shirt
is a must, and can be buttoned up for a casual
look over leggings or a skirt, or layered over a
cute tank top or sleeveless blouse.
Another good layering choice is a vest – worn
over a short- or long-sleeve top.
Uptown Cheapskate, a resale shop newly
arrived in Chandler, offers a variety of fashions
and accessories without breaking the bank –
boots to wear over leggings or skinny jeans,
denim jackets to wear over a summer dress
or long tunic top, and lots of scarves and
accessories.
Clean out your closet, sell some pieces you’re
tired of, and check out Uptown Cheapskate’s
ever-changing selections to refresh your closet.
