Ok! So fall is here. The ethereal season of pumpkin spice, wind blowing against your face, and crunching leaves. So let’s get to it! Here are your 4 fall essentials that you NEED in your wardrobe:
ICONIC LEATHER
Fall fashion mood board is hues of brown, black, and beige. You can finally be coerced into buying the iconic influencer crazed Melina pants (that is if you can find them - they are sold out everywhere). Leather overshirts, jackets, and even purses - if you accompany leather alongside your outfit you are basically screaming to all of us that it is indeed ~ fall ~
CARDIGAN FOR CLUTCHING
Okay picture this: wind blowing, you looking out the window, and all of a sudden clutching your cardigan against your chest. This is the ultimate fall look. A nice, oversized cardigan for a put together look even though you were rushing out of the door and only-had-enough-time-to-put-chapstick-on. This look is basically found all over the & Other Stories website.
DARK WASH JEANS
When can you ever wear dark wash? Blue jeans are in all season long, but dark wash? It feels illegal to wear black jeans in the summer (however, if you can pull this off I applaud you). Think Halloween meets fall, a nice blackish-blue color that will literally compliment any warm fall color. Levi’s jeans are the perfect splurge for this. The best part is if you look hard enough you could probably snag it on sale.
PEARLS
Not to be one with the trends, but this Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace is definitely going to be the next “it” item. And it rightly should! It is incredibly unique in its design and elegant in its approach. Of course it is pricey, but also how dramatic would your outfit be with this level to it? It is an heirloom piece that you can wear at any time with any outfit - casual, business, and sweats - this will literally elevate your look. Of course every other pearl necklace is accepted in this category - we love having options.
