Trend Alert: Camel à la Chloé

You know how there are those certain high-end labels you look at… and just salivate over?

Chloé by Hannah MacGibbon is at the top of my list. In fact, I can say that she is probably favorite designer of the moment. It seems like every time I catch a glimpse of her handiwork whisking down the runway, I am so inspired… and overcome with the desire to sell everything I own, just so I can purchase one of her ensembles in its entirety.

Well, this Fall/Winter 2010 collection was no exception. I was awestruck by the effect of MacGibbon’s all-over camel look… it’s so soft and lux-looking, I really love it.

And is it any wonder that camel is going to be THE color of the season this fall. Which means it’s about time, as a CheapChica, you start looking for budget-friendly camel-colored pieces now… and when I say “pieces,” I really mean just about… anything!

Take your pick, I’ve spotted camel coats, dresses, skirts, tops (long-sleeved and short-sleeved), bags… shoes… everything!

You can do a head-to-toe Chloé-inspired look or, my favorite, you can sport a camel piece with an all-black ensemble or even with a splash of red (also huge for fall!).

Camel really is timelessly chic. I’ve picked out a few items below, all under $100.00 (a bit cheaper than Chloé, I’d say!) to inspire you and/or get you started… !
