Fall is HERE, aka the ~peak~ season for updating your closet with gorgeous, on-trend pieces. But before letting you drop $$$ in the name of looking en vogue, we rounded up this season's biggest trends at a much more affordable price tag.
1. Leopard Print Everything:
A furry Scoop backpack to keep up with ~fast-paced~ fashion without chasing the remainder of your savings. The best part of this: it'll add *just* enough to your all-black outfits (aka your entire closet).
