Fall Must-Haves List


Hi Friends!  It’s already Thursday, September 15th, and that means only ONE WEEK until it’s officially FALL!  #itsabouttime

I keep thinking if I wear booties, make enough soups for dinner, or light enough fall scented candles the cooler weather will begin to show up.  Unfortunately, here in Texas it’s just not happening yet.  Let’s just say I’m not holding my breath.  But this girl is oh, so ready for some cooler temperatures.

I think there are some things every girl should have in her closet for that one fabulous day when the weather is cool and fall FINALLY does arrive.  ðŸ™‚

The first thing we all need is a pair of cute booties

Fringe Booties (ON SALE-come in three colors)
Lucky Brand Booties (Lots of colors available-if you’re looking for a lower heel, these are for you!)
Toms Perforated Booties (50% off-great price!)
Jessica Simpson Bootie (These were a birthday gift and I LOVE them.  They come in two colors.)


The next thing that’s important is a good pair of jeans.  I’m talking a pair of jeans you feel like a million bucks in.  That pair you’re always gonna grab if they’re clean?  That’s the kind of pair we need.  ðŸ™‚
AG Jeans (Great deal right now!-This brand is my favorite.  My super frugal husband who doesn’t like to spend much on his clothes MIGHT have tried a pair of AG jeans on last year and bought himself TWO pair he was that impressed.  HUGE endorsement right there, girls!)


In the fall, a go-to look is always simple tee, paired with jeans, and booties.  There are so many ways you can dress it up or down.  I rounded up a few of my favorites.
Lush Tee (Certain colors are on BIG sale-includes olive, perfect for fall!)
Caslon Tee (All the great basic colors)
Z Supply Tee (I have both a small and an extra small.  The small requires a cami underneath because it’s so low.  The extra small doesn’t.  This comes in camo, but I wouldn’t recommend the camo.  After one wash, the camo is pretty see-through.


The last necessity is a fabulous accessory

I’m totally calling a jacket and a vest an accessory up there, but you know what I’m sayin…right?  Pair the vest with a necklace or the scarf with a jacket and voila!  Instant cute fall outfit!

Maybe if we all dress the part, eventually the weather will start to agree with us.  ðŸ™‚

What’s your favorite fall go-to item?

Happy One Week to FALL!

      It's actually hotter in TX than it is in Central FL! We've had lots of rain. Still very humid though, but I've been wearing jeans and booties! I'm too cold for shorts.

    I feel like getting to wear a scarf instantly makes my outfit look like it's ready for fall! It could be 75 degrees out at the end of September, but you better believe I'm wearing a scarf haha! The things we do for fashion, right?!

    I love all your must-haves! You can't beat a pair of booties, jeans and a simple t shirt. I just got a military jacket this summer during the Nordstrom sale and I cannot wait to wear it!

    Super cute, girl – this is all my jam. Ohhhh, fall, where are you?!? I honestly don't remember being this hot ever in Houston and then I heard on the radio yesterday that we've set a record for the warmest August and September EVER here. #nowonder My other fall must-haves are a great plaid shirt and a puffer vest. As soon as there is a slight breeze and a hint of the 70s, I'm breaking mine out.

    I LOVE your booties! When I saw them on Jeni I thought that they were SUPER expensive, but they are totally affordable!!!!

    In Tennessee, we are also struggling with the hot temps. (67th day in the 90s & we are expecting a record-high today). Hopefully though cooler temps will be here, so I can enjoy styling my new monogrammed blanket scarf & Booties! 🙂 thanks for sharing.

    Jeans + tee + scarf is pretty much my fall wardrobe. And I may have bought not one, but two camo tees this week. Allegedly. One was v-neck and one round. So both obviously fall staples 🙂

    Do you have a favorite jean that is not a skinny? My body does not do well in skinny jeans. Just wondering.

    I could just add all of those to my closet! I actually just bought those Lucky booties and can't wait to wear them!

    Love your list! I had all of these on my fall staples post the other day, too, except for the basic tee… that's such a good one to add! You can pair it with anything!

    I never know when to officially start wearing boots, so I just went and bought a couple pair of flats, to help me transition. The weather can be so crazy that one day I'm wanting flip flops and the next boots… so I figured I'd meet in the middle with flats. 🙂

    Hi Erika! I wanted to know, do you think the Toms booties run true to size? I just ordered my first pair and I wanted to be sure I ordered the right size, which was my usual size. Thanks from one shopper to another 🙂 – Jackie

    I defiantly wore skinnies, tee, scarf, and booties yesterday, even though it was 85 degrees-I just couldn't wait any longer! But it came up a big thunderstorm in the afternoon and cooled things off a lot, so I felt justified! Ha!
