Back-to-School Sales Aren’t Just for the Kids… Style Yourself for Fall!
By Yo Taylor | Wardrobe Stylist at The Style Table
August is here, and as the kids (and grandkids) stock up on school essentials, I want to remind you of something that matters:
Back-to-school deals aren’t just for the kids—they’re your chance to shine, too! This is the perfect moment to snag chic, versatile pieces that will take you smoothly into fall, all while keeping your budget in check. Consider it your personal ‘Back-to-YOU’ season.
Why Shop Now?
Retailers are clearing out summer stock and introducing early fall styles, which means big markdowns, fresh finds, and layering pieces that will carry you from warm days to cool evenings. And if you know me, you know I love a deal with purpose — style that makes sense for your lifestyle and season of life.
What to Look For
Here’s what I tell my private clients to keep an eye out for:
Lightweight knits – Perfect for layering now, and great with blazers later.
Crisp button-downs and utility shirts – Versatile, polished, and always chic.
Denim upgrades – It’s a great time to snag a fresh fit (wide-leg, bootcut, or cropped flare are all trending and flattering).
Stylish sneakers or loafers – The kind that say “grown woman on the move” with comfort and polish.
Structured bags – a subtle style statement that instantly upgrades any outfit.
Style Pro Tip from Yo
Before you shop, shop your closet. Take a moment to review your current wardrobe, identify what still fits, what’s past its prime, and what you’re lacking. This way, you can shop with purpose instead of making impulse buys.
And sis, if you're anything like my clients, you probably already own some amazing pieces that just need a little styling magic to feel brand new again.
Let This Be Your Reminder…
You don’t need to be in school to justify a wardrobe update. You’re entering a new season of life, business, and confidence — and your closet should reflect exactly where you’re headed.
So go ahead, grab those deals, layer with love, and show up this fall like the woman you’ve grown into. Bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.
