While brainstorming this particular fall fashion post for the monthly Style Hop, I came across a post on the best sweaters for fall on a major fashion magazine’s website. Cool! I LOVE a good sweater! I live for sweater season! So I peeked at the gallery. The first sweater cost $325. Wow.  The next one? $525! That wasn’t even the worst, either.  One sweater on the list actually cost $1,230! Um, that’s slightly more than my monthly rent!

No woman should have to choose between paying her bills and looking fabulous! Check out 11 gorgeous, cozy fall sweaters that don't cost more than your rent! Every sweater is under $50. Several even cost less than $20!

I did see a few $70-100 sweaters sprinkled throughout, but the majority of the fall sweaters cost more than at least two of my monthly bills combined, be it cable and internet, car insurance and groceries, etc.  I cannot see shelling out half a months rent or more on a single sweater. I’m sorry, I just can’t. I also can’t imagine that any of you really want me to fill up a post with sweaters that have a combined total of a one-year tuition to a good college! So instead, I’m offering up beautiful, cozy fall sweaters that you and I can actually afford. I hope you like them!

I went with a $50 or less price range here, and aimed for a good mix of price ranges below that. You’ll find great sweaters for as low as $18.
