It is 100 degrees outside, so why the heck is the Savvy Broad talking about fall fashions? The answer is simple, money. Inevitably the summer sale racks will have a few unexplained winter items that must have gotten lost in the warehouse and are finally on the rack. In addition, the preseason fall sales are in full force.

The following items are investment worthy because you can wear them for a lifetime.

• Chunky sweaters
• Leopard accessories
• Leather jackets and skirts
