Planning for Fall
Fall is definitely my favorite season. I’m anxiously waiting for the colorful leaves to drop, the crisp weather and a chance to throw on the jacket. I haven’t done much shopping (unemployed student here), so much of my shopping has been in my own closet. However, I realized that I bought a lot items last fall that will easily carry over. My one splurge? That pair of boots above were a “hey, why not?” present to myself that arrived last week. I’ve been stalking a pair of Rachel Comey boots for the longest time, but I found these on Topshop and decided to order them. So there you have my black boots for the season.
Below are some of my other favorite picks for wearing this fall. These are some other items that are not in my regular “rotation” as of yet, but I can’t wait to add them in.
Wide leg jeans that I bought in New York City this spring. I didn’t have much of a chance to wear them this summer since Chicago was scorching hot and I still have to get them tailored.
Colored denim on weekends when I want to switch it up from my regular blue or black denim. I bought these pants a couple of years ago and I love pulling them out in the fall for a pop of color. I’m hoping to add a pair of cobalt blue jeans to the collection soon.
These two fall jackets will be in constant rotation: my lavender trench and my black moto jacket. I bought the lavender trench earlier this spring, but I think it’ll translate just as well into the fall.
Colorful print dresses like the one above are a great way for me to mix it up instead of the black dresses that I usually wear on outings.
Any particular pieces that you are looking pull out of your closet this fall?

I always find dressing during the summer to be difficult. I’m used to layering and I continue to pile layers on top of layers of shirts on, even in 90+ degree weather. Inspiration also fades during the summer as I don’t put as much thought into color schemes and teaming outfits up. Instead, I dress pretty plainly and comfortably, but not very “fashionably”.
I wore this outfit yesterday and it was the first time I’ve worn jeans in about a week. The jeans are from American Eagle Outfitters and I bought them after seeing the shredded version on Vogue.com. I went to the website where they were on sale for $29.99. I snagged them at the store for $24.99 Hey, you can do a lot with an extra $5.00 these days! In this “getting comfortable” phase, I really don’t want to spend much on jeans, so this pair was perfect. Plus, I really like the more relaxed fit to offset the constant skinny jeans.
