Splurge or Steal: Hottest Fall Fashion Trends

The cooler days of fall are here, but they don't have to put a damper on your fashion sense.

Kate Dimmock, fashion director of People StyleWatch, appeared on "Good Morning America" today to discuss three of the hot trends for the season: the sweater skirt, tuxedo pants and leather skirts.

She presented two of each item - one for top dollar, and the other, the look for the woman who wants to be fashionable without breaking the bank. See how the Splurge and Save looks stack up:
