The chilled breezes are back once again. Before we approach that wonderful below zero winter effect, we have to spend a few more weeks in the fall season. What better way to spend these few weeks then looking your absolute best?

No one says that you have to get a new wardrobe for every season. Realistically, we are college students and many of us have very tight budgets. But if you add ten items to your wardrobe this season, you can rock the halls and have every girl envy you and your sense of style.

Here is my Top 10 list of Fall Must-Haves and stores to buy them that will not leave your wallet with a black-hole.

1. Boots, boots and more boots - Whether they are heels, wedges or flat, boots are totally in. For school or work, I recommend the Whitney Cuff Boot from Payless for $37.99. For a night out, up your look with City Snappers '9002' Over the Knee Boots from Shoe Bungalow for $36.97 to add some edginess to your look.

2. Cardigans - Perfect for any age and looks good on everyone. Try the Belted Shawl Cardigan from Forever 21. Only $24.80 and can be worn either casual or dressed up.

3. Lace - Add some chic to any outfit with lace. I recommend the Mini Lace Dress from Forever 21 for $22.80. Not willing to bare so much leg? Throw on some jeans and top off with those heels you have been so eager to flaunt but have not had the courage.

4. Handbags - Who says you have to shy away from color in the cold seasons? Add some liveliness to your outfit with a bag bursting with color. Try the Grommet Hobo in Orange from The Limited for $59.50.

5. Military Details - Whether it's the style, buttons or belt, military is a must for fall. I recommend the Merona Military Trench Jacket from Target. Only $39.99 and can be worn with a variety of outfits. Its details make it a perfect must-have for fall.

6. Sequins - Show off that edginess you know you have with sequins. Try the Sequin Vest from Wet Seal for $22.50. Add with leggings or skinny jeans and over the knee boots and get ready to be the envy of every girl in the room.
