[cincopa A4MAA9s8dwWs]There is just something enchanting about the fall season when the foliage turns gorgeous hues, the air is crisp, seasonal foodstuffs re-appear and football season is in full swing. It also signifies a proverbial changing of the closet guard—the perfect time to spruce up your family’s fashion sense. Amid a bounty of seasonal possibilities, here are a few fashion finds that’ll have you steppin’ out in style.

QTee.com Customized Apparel & Accessories (www.QTee.com) – Prices vary
The QTee.com fashion site lets anyone fully customize their apparel and accessory selections. The company offers various styles of t-shirts, classic sneaker shoes, sweatshirts, hats, sweatpants, tote bags, flip flops and more. Just find a product, browse 100’s of graphics and then customize colors in the designs just the way you want! As an example, take their “Plaid Twist” shoe, which is a timeless look. There are 1,000’s of different color combinations you can make with this pattern alone! So if you have your favorite jacket, shirt or pair of pants at home, you can customize this design to match it exactly. With QTee.com, you can also customize the colors on flip flops, including the strap color. On the apparel front, I particularly like QTee.com’s “Bull Princess” Crewneck—especially since I’m a Taurus. Click on the design online and you’ll see a color palette. Use it to change the color of the roses and the feathers to create a brand new custom look. You can even change the shirt style and color. In addition, you can have this same design on other items like a black baseball tee, a crop top and so on. Same ideas apply to sweatpants as well as hats like the “Bull Headed” design, in which all of the colors can be customized. The site also allows users to pick popular combos or see what other customers have designed.
