Cooler weather is already on its way in DC (Ok, I’m lying, it’s still in the upper 80’s here, but a girl can dream) and I am SO READY to put away my summer dresses and hop into more cozy clothing.
Obviously everyone in the blogosphere has been posting their favorite looks/trends for this fall season and so I figured I would partake in the fun. I figured I would post my favorite Fall wardrobe pieces...which will maybe help me realize that I don't need to buy any new clothes this season...we'll see! :)
1. A great pair of black boots/over the knee boots. Luckily, while I was in London I
scored a great deal on a beautiful pair of quilted leather Burberry boots (mine are the same as the ones in the picture to the left) with little buckle details. I’ve done my best to keep these beauties in tip-top shape, but I have a feeling that this fall/winter they are going to get a beating. Fortunately, I can interchange them with my “rugged” (read: very worn) pair of Banana Republic black boots. I realize that over-the-knee boots are somewhat of a trend. I purchased a pair of over-the-knee boots two years ago (black suede, flat, pointy-er toe) and they are fabulously comfortable and easy to throw on with a great pair of jeans and actually make my legs look longer than they are – can’t be a bad thing!
2. Perfect black leggings…and maybe a pair of dark brown. I need to add one or two more pairs of leggings to my collection this fall, but last year I picked up a great pair with a little rouching detail at the ankle which is pretty for when I choose to wear flats or booties rather than over the calf/over-the-knee boots.
3. A fitted black blazer. Do you sense a trend? I love the color black…in my ward
robe. The color black always makes you look put together and chic and can be dressed up or down. I attempted to purchase a new black blazer last season, but just never ended up getting around to it. By some stroke of luck though, while I was at home last weekend my mom pulled out an old black blazer that I wore all through high-school. That puppy still fits and I love it! Thanks, mom! :) A black blazer is the perfect transition piece to throw on with a t-shirt and jeans or over a pretty dress.
4. My next fall/winter must have would definitely be a few “slouchy” sweaters – not completely over-sized, but slouchy. I have been collecting these over the last few years and definitely have my favorites. I love wearing these sweaters with jeans or leggings and sometimes
belting them. Comfortable and pretty!
5. As mentioned in number 4 – a few belts. I have one in black and an interesting green belt, but I definitely need to pick up a few more styles before the cool weather really does arrive.
6. Finally (and I am re-posting this), but I really want a new pair of specs. Yep – still lusting over these frames, but luckily this fabulous blogger, I am Chasing Thirty, passed along a great website where you can buy frames (and even “try them on at home”) for a VERY reasonable price!
It's not like I am making any huge fashion discoveries here people, I just felt like sharing my favorites!
Is there anything I should add to my fall wardrobe?! Or is there a fall/winter piece that you can't live without that I didn't mention?!
