10 Pieces You Need This Fall

Building the perfect fall wardrobe is easy when you have a few guidelines! Today I’m sharing ten pieces that you need in your closet this season as well as a few links to shop similar items. After, I’ll be sharing how I’ve styled these ten items in four, fall ready, outfit ideas!

1. Basic Turtleneck – One of my all time favorite pieces to wear. There are endless ways to style a fitted turtleneck and they can easily be repeated when styled differently.
2. Comfy Tunic – I love a comfy long sleeve. The tunic style is great because it can be worn with leggings or you can tuck it into jeans for a more polished look.
3. Cozy Cardigan – Cardigans are my jam come the fall time. They add an instant layer to any look whether it be to add warmth or cuteness, this is the piece you need to add!
4. Chunky Sweater – Gimme all the chunky sweaters. My favorite piece to just throw on and go. You can never go wrong with jeans, a sweater, and your favorite pair of booties.
5. Sweater Vest – Last year I became a huge fan of vests. I used to be a strict puffer vest kind of girl but I branched out to the sweater vest and have loved the way they look.
6. Fall Flannel – Flannels and I go way-way back. I’ve always been an Old Navy kind of girl when it comes to flannel shopping. I find that they last about two fall seasons which is how long I tend to keep things in rotation anyway. I always size up to the Medium as they do shrink up and I have super long arms!
7. Patchwork Jeans – The pair I’m styling in today’s post was a Clearance find at the Gap Outlet and I love the way they look. They are the perfect pair of jeans for this time of year – unexpected yet adorable.
8. Brown Booties – Been wearing booties like it’s my job lately. The cutout pair I’ve been wearing from Target are not only super cute but extremely comfortable. Find a good pair of brown and black booties and you are set for the season.
9. Classic Mules – There’s something so timeless about a classic black mule. They are the easiest shoe to slide on and they can dress up any outfit. Definitely, a business casual essential if you’re a working girl!
10. Floppy Hat – My favorite accessory for the fall time aside from a big ole statement earring. If you don’t have a hat, you need one! They add a little sass to any outfit you pair them with.

Comfy Tunic + Classic Mules + Floppy Hat

Super soft, solid colored tunics are essential for this time of year. I knotted this olive-green one and paired it with the cutest black ripped skinny jeans. Mules are the easiest shoe to slip on and go and look adorable with this look. A floppy hat was the perfect piece to accessorize with and gold Alex and Ani’s completed the look.

Basic Turtleneck + Sweater Vest + Patchwork Jeans

This is by far one of my favorite looks and outfit combinations. I have endless fitted turtlenecks in my closet because they are the easiest piece to work with during the fall time. One of my favorite ways to style them is tucked into a pair of jeans – I went with patchwork ones for the fall time. I then pop over a piece of outerwear; today I reached for this off-white, knit sweater vest. The booties perfectly coordinated with the turtleneck which completely pulled this look together.

Cozy Cardigan + Fall Flannel

There’s nothing better than a comfy flannel. There are endless ways to style them but one of my favorite combinations by far is with a cardigan layered over top. I went for a peach hue that matched the colors in the flannel and threw on a denim skirt to mix it up a bit. Cognac Steve Madden wedges gave this look a little lift.

Chunky Sweater + Brown Booties

This is one of my go-to outfit combinations when I’m looking for something quick and easy that’s still stylish. I’m such a fan of the oversized look of this sweater and it pairs perfectly with some classic, high-waisted skinny jeans and my cut out booties. Statement earrings were the way to go and a few simple, gold jewels accented this look just the way I had envisioned.
