GET READY: Your Fall Basics Checklist

Let’s go shopping!

It’s the last weekend of summer, are you ready for Fall? I’ve been slowly adjusting to the idea, and it’s been made easier by all of the fab fashion finds online and in the September issues. I’ve got a checklist going that I’ve already started on (thank you birthday $$!). These are the essentials I’ve identified for myself thus far…


CHECK IT OFF:
sweater
| vest | bracelet | skinnies | nude blouse | booties
boots | flared jeans | striped blouse | leopard bag

What are some of the items on your shopping list for the season? Please share!

Enjoy your weekend! See you in the Fall! ;o)

    The nude blouse is fantastic. I think I just added that to my list. Believe it or not, more business clothes that ACTUALLY fit are on my list for fall. Boring, but essential. :)

    Just realized that I don’t think I ever wished you a happy birthday! Shame on me! Happy ‘late’ birthday to you and I hope it was wonderful! I saw the bday outfit you posted…too cute! Love all of these basics, the skinnies and nude blouse are my favorites!

    You are getting ME in the mood too!

    I just score $13 flared jeans at the GAP that fit like perfection. $13! I nearly fainted at how thrifty I am. Next up is definitely wedge booties. Just love those.

    Flare jeans are on the top of my list! And several new jackets. I’m a whore for jackets. I also pretty much want everything you just listed. Can’t wait to meet in a few weeks!!

    I just did a post about this too! Fall trends that I’ll actually be wearing. My top picks are leopard wedges and sequins. I’m seeing colored skinnies more and more so I think I’ll have to break down and buy a pair!

    Clearly we have been going through the same mags…lovin the wedge booties and feather vests! Contemplating on altering my mohair jacket into a vest as well?
