10 classic pieces to upgrade for fall!

I'm not the only one with the fall season on the brain!  I was going to do this whole "what I would wear to New York Fashion Week" and couldn't think of anything except lush cozy sweaters, soft denim and ankle booties.   So I went with this instead!
It was a goal of mine this year to upgrade my wardrobe to have mostly classic and timeless pieces with a few trendy items thrown in the mix here and there.  I've done a decent job achieving that; but, every season change I come up with a new list of basics/wardrobe staples that either need upgrading or that I just lack period.
I rounded up a few things that I think every gal needs to head into chilly weather!

1. a cute crew cut sweater - there are plenty of printed lightweight sweaters all over the place right now and what a perfect layering piece!?
2. a lux sweatshirt - this houndstooth one from J.Crew Factory is to die for!
3. the boyfriend button up - this patterned one is a new twist on a classic look.  I want one in every color and pattern they are so versatile; pair them with jeans, pencil skirts or dress pants.
4. a neutral poncho - great to throw on to run errands or to wear lounging.  It's like wearing a blanket... except way sexier than a snuggy.
5. dark wash boyfriend jeans - we all know my obsession for boyfriend jeans... I say no more.
6. leopard - whether skimmers, loafers, a bag, a jacket.  Something!
7. ankle boots! GREAT for transitioning summer dresses into fall and paired with distressed jeans?  amaze-balls.
8. utility jacket - or vest! either is super chic and adds a bit of edge to any outfit.
9. a puffer vest - great layering piece! I love mine, however may be looking for one with a collar and no hood this season.
10. wellies - this is a fall must have.  Everything is so wet and gross on the ground; you'll need these to keep you clean, dry and adorable of course.

Are you updating any basics this season?  Which are your favorites!?

fall into neutral season

It's already started and you cannot deny!  The need and want to grab a cozy "match all" sweater or pant in the cooler weather, of course!
I'm sure we will have another short heat wave before summer officially comes to a close; but, my air is off and I'm reaching for a jacket in the morning and that means my mind is on beautiful earth tones and grays to keep me comfortable.

Fall is actually my favorite time of year.  It's funny that I'm craving it already since summer took so long to show its face, but I always hope it starts early and lingers on.

I love all the rich jewel tones paired with the thick earth tones.  Picture a nice heather grey with plum...perfection!   And with all the stores switching over to their fall lines somewhat early... it's the perfect opportunity to stock up before the cooler weather really sets in!

Check out my round up of a few of my favorite tops and my favorite pant picks.  I am loving the cashmere beige pull over - paired with boyfriend jeans and flats or toms?  Sunday morning done right.

Which are  your favorites?
