Fall Sweaters: Our Fave 4 Under $40

11/11/2009

While visiting Chicago and New York City last month when temperatures were still hovering around the 70's, you couldn't help but notice the impeccably dressed slaves of fashion, sauntering and sweating around town in their deliciously so-cutting-edge-it-hurts designer coats, scarves and over-the-knee boots. Fierce as they looked, the city was in the midst of a heat wave and said fashion slaves just had to be uncomfortable in all those layers, especially since the rest of the residents were walking around in tank tops. Since these fashionistas certainly helped stimulate the economy in the acquisition of their wintry ensembles, they were essentially taking one for the team in the name of fashion. It's all good.

This same quandry holds true for our four-legged furry fashionistas. With the fall season upon us, there are more pet coats, sweaters, scarves, puffy vests, booties, faux-Uggs, hats and hoodies to choose from, yet it feels like the weather hasn't quite cooled down enough for our pets to rock their new fall fashions.

Well, the weather will chill down soon enough and when it does, ensure your pet is the envy of the dog park in one of these luxurious, cozy-chic fall must-haves, all priced under $40!
