Do you have all of your Fall basics covered? If not, OnSugar blogger Beauty and the Budget has you covered with her top nine Fall essentials list. the best part? Everything is under $100.

Investment pieces are called investment pieces for a reason — they might be pricey, but you'll wear them over and over again! Of course, you don't have to shell out more than $100 on an investment piece if you shop in the right places. Luckily for you, I've got a list of nine fab investment pieces all for under $100!

Your Fall Investment Shopping List:

1. A chic blazer is always a good buy! I especially love this T by Alexander Wang Cutout cotton-jersey blazer ($180.00$72.00) because it has a unique cutout detail in the back that will always make it look fresh and unique!
2. A holiday party dress will be in order once those Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities begin. I specifically love this Mikael Aghal Lamé bubble dress ($325.00$81.25) for its festive coloring and shiny detailing.
3. A sweater will keep you warm and toasty during those cooler days. You'll want a good sweat to last you year after year, and this J.Crew Fisherman cable-knit sweater ($98.00) is so basic no one will notice you've had it forever!

One of Fall's hottest trends is the pleated skirt. If you're looking for different ways to wear it, OnSugar blogger Beauty and Budget breaks it down for you with these five amazing outfit ideas.

The pleated skirt has finally graduated from a schoolyard staple to a trendsetter's must-have item of the season. Its comfort and wearability make it perfect for day and night in both hot and cold temperatures — so long as you mix it with the right pieces. Coming in virtually every color of the rainbow, you can mix and match a pleated skirt with nearly anything, which is why I chose to highlight this trend.

OnSugar blogger fashion fortuneteller is helping us shop the best grown-up blazers for back to school:

I'm so nervous about going back to school. I know I shouldn't be. I mean I'm going for my Masters, it's not like I'm new to sitting in a classroom, managing work load, and pulling all-nighters! But something, just has my stomach full of butterflies. So naturally, what do I do when I'm feeling nervous or unsure about something, need time to think things through, or am simply having a bad day... I make outfits! I dip into my closet and just start creating new looks. It's my CALM. Lately, I've been trying to think about how I could use the tons of blazers I have in creative ways. I work a corporate 9-5 that requires suits, therefore I have blazers galore. Suits are so not my thing — just seems too structured. Can you think of any creative ways to use blazers, like any of the ones I selected to feature today?

Today, OnSugar blogger The Artful Shopper shares her love for one of Fall's hottest shoe trends — the loafer pump. Listen up to what she has to say, then shop her favorite picks!

“In fashion, either you’re in, or you’re out.” In the 6^th grade, I wanted “in” and that meant joining the so-called “Preps” so, I assembled a wardrobe of V-necks, cableknits and Palazzo pants. And one of my most coveted items of them all? Wait for it . . . penny loafers.

Who can forget the novelty of buying their first must-have pair of shoes that all the other kids are wearing? Maybe yours were some pretty heels, or a cushy pair of UGG's, or a stylin’ set of Nike Airs, but penny loafers? Sure, there was the novelty of having big sis help me make them look all shiny, and adding the little charm of a penny, but who can forget the thick, awkward block heel, the unflattering height and the typically dowdy association with straight-laced school marms and perhaps, those least interested in fashion, “Gulp,” nuns?

OnSugar blogger Beauty and the Budget creates five chic looks based on the style of fashion writer Esther Adams:

Anytime I see a fashion magazine employee's attire, I'm immediately reminded of the opening sequence in The Devil Wears Prada where you see all of the Runway magazine staffers walking out of their apartments to the beat of KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See." For me, this is much more invigorating than seeing celebrity style on the red carpet. I'm more into what the ladies at fashion magazines and style websites are wearing than what Kim Kardashian's stylist told her to wear for another event.

With most of us enduring the dog days of Summer, OnSugar blogger Temple of Glam decided to provide some sweet relief via the coolest, yet chicest clothes she could find. Read on to see her fabulous tips on how to stay cool without sacrificing style.

I felt a wave of sweat pour down my back; I was standing still.

I contemplated articles of clothing I could remove without getting arrested.

When the thought of donning clothes led to major heat anxiety (literally walking around my apartment disavowing every sartorial option that came to mind, "no-no-no, you will burst into flames!"), I knew it was time to take action (i.e. create a quick list of summer-proof clothes and find a good therapist):

Lemlem Adama Dress ($245)

When I longingly ogled an older woman's moo-moo, I vowed to find a chic (and age-appropriate) alternative. This handmade caftan-inspired dress is called a beach cover up, but its lightweight fabric and light color are ideal for this little heatwave we're having. Plus, it was designed by supermodel Liya Kebede.
