Pieces Are All You Need (NAPSA)—When the weather turnscrisp, it’s easy to get excited about fall fashion. You’d love your look to have some of the season’s new touches, but do you have to overhaul your entire closet? “A few key pieces can make a big impact this fall—and make your whole wardrobe much more versatile,” said Ann Moorehouse, fashion stylist. “You can get a good sense of what you need by ‘shopping’ in your own closet. Try on what you have and don’t be afraid to get rid of old and rarely worn items. Then, choose new pieces that are fresh for the season and putit all together in a way that expresses your indi- viduality. You’ll bring your look up to date without spending a fortune.” Moorehouse advises choosing new pieces that have enduring style—classics, but with a modern cut.
