affordable outerwear, fall jackets under $100

There's no denying it. Fall is here. It's officially been here for a few weeks, but now the chilly temps are consistently in the 60s and below and nights are getting colder. Transitioning to fall fashion can be tricky, but it's easier than you think. In light of the new season, I wanted to share a few fall fashion pieces I've written for other sites.I write the weekly Cheap and Chic column for Ebony.com and this week it was all about fall's best lightweight jackets for the guys. Fall outerwear has to meet so many requirements: solid enough to keep the chill away, light enough so you're not burning up by the end of the day and roomy enough to allow for layering. And of course, all of the picks are affordable. Though the jackets are specifically for the men, a few of them, including the galaxy print above, can work for the ladies.Also, I was recently interviewed by BlackEnterprise.com and I shared my best tips for fall shopping.

This past week has made one thing clear: Fall is here! I woke up on Saturday morning and temps were in the 40s. The 40s!! I have quite a few coats and jackets thanks to last year's Salvation Army coat sale {I bought 5 coats and jackets for $100} ** so I just threw on my fave leather jacket and a tribal print scarf.

But after stepping outside, I realized this weather has some folks confused. I saw some people in heavy parkas while others were just in sweaters. And it's hard not to be confused when it's in the 40s one day and the next the mercury is in the low 70s.
Luckily, there are quite a few jackets on the market that will keep you warm {but not too warm}, are stylish and less than $100.
