FASHION STAPLES YOU’LL “FALL” FOR
Please describe your idea of a perfect date. – “That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” – If you know this movie reference, we are officially best friends. And I now expect you to show up every Friday to binge watch “Say Yes To The Dress” while sipping Moscato and eating popcorn.
But really, THIS is the exact reason I love fall. In the Summer, it’s too hot and in the winter, it’s too cold. Fall is that PERFECT season between the two where you can basically wear whatever you want and still be comfortable. Want to wear that summer dress that hangs just right? No problem! Ready to rock those UGG Boots that you bought purely because they were “trendy” at the time, but now just love sticking your feet into those soft, pillowy soles? Go on girl, do it!
Today I’ve rounded up a few outfits that I put together for my fall wardrobe. You’ll notice some items are repeated through multiple styles or shown in an alternative color. I wanted to give options of how pieces can be styled different ways. Contrary to what we see on Instagram, not every outfit has to entail breaking the bank to look cute. Investing in great staple pieces can help build a classic, versatile and stylish wardrobe – for fall, these includes boots, cardigans, jackets and denim.
* Designer Bags: It’s an addiction and my guilty pleasure. But since they aren’t exactly budget friendly, I also linked exact dupes and/or alternative options. Dupes are perfect for those of us who like to be “boujee on a budget”.
Outfit number one is probably my favorite. Super classic, chic and timeless. One of those outfits you don’t have to think about too much and can be worn for just about any occasion.
Cream Cardigan – Only $20 and comes in lots of colors
White Chiffon Tank – Double layered, versatile and classic.
Dark Wash Jeggings – Super comfy, great quality and are a great staple piece.
Brown Leather Boots – Cute strap detail and only $45.
LV Speedy – Classic, Timeless but also pricey.
Brown Leather Tote – Great LV Alternative and goes well with the boots.
Layer Necklace – Only $17 and can be styled tons of ways.
Outfit number two is a quick style shift from outfit one. Using the same purse, boots and jeans, I just swapped out the camisole for a t-shirt and the cardigan for a utility jacket. A little bit more of a causal look but still super stylish.
Utility Jacket – Currently sold out. Linking a similar one.
White T-Shirt– Thicker so it’s not see through and only $8.

Outfit three re-uses the white t-shirt and necklace from the previous look. Here I’ve swapped out the boots for cute slip on sneakers, a lighter denim, my all time FAVORITE purse (exact dupe linked) and a blue sweater. I love the leopard accent of the sneakers! And they are Kate Spade!
