It’s about the time for retail­ers to get rid of sum­mer inven­tory and make room for fall mer­chan­dise. This trans­lates to SALES for us! Shoe sales! And sales on every­thing else too.

How can you use this to your advan­tage? Shop for your fall wardrobe NOW by buy­ing col­ors and styles con­sis­tent with Fall 2012’s trends. Here’s how:

  • Use your ideal fall color palette to shop for your fall wardrobe.
    • Many of fall’s color trends are a nat­ural exten­sion of spring’s. Use this to mix your darker fall col­ors with pops of bright col­ors like the Marc Fisher flat above. It would look per­fect with a navy blazer!
  • Buy boots and peep-toe shoes from the sum­mer.
    • Can’t fig­ure out when it’ll be cool enough for those sum­mer boots? Don’t bother. Buy some now and save them for the cool fall weather. Who knows the dif­fer­ence anyway?
  • ONLY if you’re bold enough — try wear­ing san­dals with hued tights and socks.
    • A tran­si­tion trick we love at the Shoed offices, but you must have enough courage and con­fi­dence to pull it off!
