Winter may not be officially here just yet, even though it feels like it. Now is the time to go ahead and get your wardrobe ready. Fall and winter clothing can get pretty costly. You'll break the bank if you try to buy new wool coats and luxurious knits every year. With a few minor updates, you can transform outfits you already own into the hottest looks of the season. Breathe life into your closet with these simple budget friendly outfits.

Add a structured bag. Nothing says you know what's in style more than carrying the season's "it" bag. This Danielle Nicole Bag won't break the bank, coming in under $100.

Go with a vamp lip. Lipstick can do wonders for an outfit. Grab a tube of dark berry-colored lipsticks like Gucci's Audacious Color-Intense Lipstick in Orchid Overdose.
