September has arrived and you know what that means: FALL! Leaves change color, warm apple cider, and most importantly? Fall style! Gathered here are my top five fall must-haves.
5. Layered necklaces
Added on top of a chic knit sweater and you’ve got my fall go-to outfit! Not only do they add a little spice to the outfit, pairing some with a sweater is just meant to be, like a pumpkin spice latte (PSL) on a fall day. Even better, the extra materials won’t be weighing you down as the breezy temps set in.
My favorite to pair with... a ribbed black turtleneck
4. Belts: particularly thick black leather ones.
Some may say diamonds are a girl’s best friend but belts are a fall fashionista’s best friend! Cleverly worn, they accentuate your curves and make you look so put together that no one will ever believe it only took you an effortless minute to take your outfit from good to spectacular!
My favorite to pair...with denim bottoms! Especially with a white mini jean skirt.
3. Plaid [everything]
What a controversial pattern...yet so perfect for fall. The color combos are endless, although a personal favorite is black and white. But I have to say, all warm colors are perfect too! and c’mon the options are neverending: pleated skirts, flannels, matching sets… and blazers. Anyone else feeling major Cher Horowitz vibes?
My favorite to pair with… itself+solids! Let the unique patterns be THE statement!
2. Boots boots boots!
Have I mentioned just how much I love me some statement boots on a fall day? The styles are absolutely endless and they are the signature stamp on a #fallootd. Plus, I don’t know about y’all but the crisp feel of leather as you walk around just screams “I am feeling today” to me!
My current favorites: B&W plaid booties w/a chunky heel AND slick black knee-high boots!
1. Chunky knit sweaters//
Does this even come as a surprise? They are so versatile, a trait making them my #1 must have; try experimenting with different sleeves, a personal favorite being the flare kind. Also, try a fall tone like marigold yellow or a moody deep rust. Whatever you do, they always deliver fabulously!
My favorite to… layer over a flannel+high waisted jeans!
Now what are you waiting for? I already hear the clothing racks calling your name. So with that, maybe accompany the trip with a PSL..or two.
Hey! I’m not judging.
