My Must-Haves for Fall by truffles featuring flat shoes
Hey Everyone!
Hope all of you had a great weekend! So I've gathered a couple of my must-haves for fall and I thought I would just explain why I cannot live without these items in Autumn.
1. Cardigans. Now when it get's a little chilly, I like to be as comfortable as I possibly can. That's why a cardigan is number one on my list. Cardigans are like the ultimate fall must-have. They're extremely comfy and effortlessly chic. Honestly, you can simply throw on a cardigan and some skinny jeans and you would most likely end up on a best dressed list. That's why I love them so much and that's why I can't live without them in fall. Now I don't actually own this specific cardigan but I picked it because I own one that looks exactly like it that I got at OldNavy for a better bargain. I absolutely love wearing the mustard in the fall, it just screams Autumn right? I also love when the cardigan is a bit big because it gives you more room to move around and it looks better, in my opinion. I don't really like wearing tight ones because it just looks weird and you want to be comfortable when it begins to get chilly. So that's why cardi's are my fave must-have for Autumn.
2. Leggings. I live in leggings when it begins to get cold. It's the oddest thing but I actually don't like wearing jeans in the winter for some reason. I guess I'm weird like that. So that's why leggings are my second must-have for fall. Whoever invented leggings are a friggin genius. Honestly, there the best invention in the fashion world. I especially love when I find a pair of leggings that have special details like lace, unique patterns and zippers. Now I will admit, I do actually own a pair of the leggings shown above. Let me explain why I would dare pay $90 on leggings. Now I love a bargain just as much as the next person but if there will be a rare occasion where I splurge on an item if it has amazing quality and detail. I purchased the pair above online and as soon as I saw them, I fell in love. Being someone who wears nothing else other than leggings during the winter, I thought it was worth the splurge. The detailing and feel of them is incredible. Plus, I wear them all the time so it's not like I spent all that money but barely wear them. Oh no! I broke those babies in minute the package arrived at my front door. Anyways, I'm rambling but that's basically why love leggings so much. You can pair them with a loose cardi or an over sized blouse. Their amazing that's why their number two on the list!
3. Flats. Just like leggings, I live in flats. Especially the ones pictured above. I actually got these as a birthday gift from my mom recently and haven't worn them yet. Their Michael Kors and their simply beautiful and classy. I haven't gotten a chance to wear them yet because it's been so hot lately and I prefer to wear flats when it get's a bit cooler but the moment the temperature drops, they're all I'll wear. I like flats because they instantly make any outfit look classic, especially if their ballet flats which happen to be my favorite.
4. Scarves. I like wearing scarves all year round so it's no surprise their listed in the list for my autumn must-haves. Like cardigans, scarves make any outfit look effortlessly chic. When it comes to wearing scarves in the fall, I like wearing bold colors such as red, yellow and green. I don't like to match the scarf with the outfit I'm wearing. So if I'm wearing a red cardigan I'll pair it with a yellow or green scarf. I like being bold in fall so matching is pretty much out the window. Anyways, that's why scarfs are my must-have for fall.
5. Biker Jackets. There is a trend when it comes to the way I dress when it gets cold. Comfort and simplicity. When it begins to get chilly outside, I don't like over-thinking my outfits too much. I just like to be comfortable and chic at the same time. So it's no surprise that the cover up I chose happens to be a biker jacket. Biker jackets, are like every other item on this list, chic and simple. They are extremely classic with a bit of edge as well. I love pairing something sweet along with something edgy which is what I'd call my sense of style at the moment. Elegant with a touch of edge. When it comes to my main pieces like jackets, I love to splurge. I tend to save on accessories and t-shirts. This particular jacket is an item I do not own but I do own a Juicy Couture replica that cost half the price but was still pricey. Like I said earlier, I'll splurge on something that I'll know will last for at least five years and will always be in style. If I was to take a guess that biker jackets will still be in style come 2015, I'm pretty sure I'd be right. So that's why this particular piece a key element in my wardrobe come fall.
6. Messenger Bags. NOTE TO READER: I did not spend $1,500 on a purse, although I would for this particular purse. This purse is actually on my wishlist that I'm creating at the moment. It's a Mulberry which happens to be my favorite designer at the moment. Their bags are to die for and I'm hoping that a certain someone will get the hint come Christmas. I'm kidding, if anyone bought something for me that cost that much, I'd have to throw them off a cliff. Unless it happened to be a trip to Italy, then that would be a gift I'd have no problem accepting. Messenger bags have been gracing the runways for sometime now and happen to be everywhere at the moment. I prefer to buy my messenger bags at vintage and thrift stores because they tend to last longer and look better. Despite the fact that their used, vintage and thrift stores are the ultimate place to find messenger bags for cheap. They practically fill up the shelves. I guess people haven't opened up their Vogues or Bazaar's lately. I like messenger bags because as well as making any outfit exceptionally stylish, they tend to add a bit of vintage flare too. That's why I absolutely cannot live without them.
7. Ray-Bans. Ahh, yes, the classic Ray-Ban. Instantly add's a sense of cool to any outfit with the snap of a finger. Ray-Bans are another item I have no problem splurging on. I've actually bought one pair at a vintage place for $40 and the online at Ray-Ban.com for $125. Both have been with me for awhile and still look brand new. Either way, Ray-Bans are the ultimate must-have for any season except winter. You could wear them in winter but I've never understood the reason for that. It just looks weird but then again, I was never one to discriminate against weird so if that's what you prefer, GO FOR IT! Either way, they're a must-have but if you can't get your hands on the actual Ray-Ban, replicas are just as fine. I've got several so it's not a crime.
8. Skinny Jeans. Like I said before, for some reason, I hate wearing jeans in the when it begins to get chilly but if I must, I love these. They'll set you back a lovely $175 but the quality is amazing and they feel exactly like leggings so they're incredibly comfy. I do like wearing jeans in autumn however though, it's the weirdest thing. Anyways, skinny jeans are amazing for any season but I especially love wearing them in autumn. Once again, another weird moment. Skinny jeans are another effortlessly item I love because like all the other pieces I've listed, they make any outfit instantly chic no matter what you pair them with.
I hope my must-have list inspired you to make one of your own. Feel free to leave comments on Twitter or here telling me what your key items are for fall, I'd love to hear from you! Hope you all have an amazing week and stay safe!
