5 FALL WARDROBE STAPLES☆

I've lived in Michigan for 19 years and Chicago for a tad over 1 year, so I know a thing or two about dressing for fall weather.  Today I'm sharing with you 5 essential pieces you need to incorporate into your wardrobe this fall!

NO. 1: a trendy coat

When the weather starts getting colder, a jacket is a must.  Since your jacket covers whatever outfit you're wearing, you'll want to make sure you have a trendy, stylish coat on.  Some popular styles right now are teddy coats, plaid or houndstooth long blazers, or any jacket that's cheetah print!

NO. 2: WARM SOCKS

When I say warm socks, I don't mean those fuzzy neon socks everyone wore in middle school; I'm talking about thick wool socks in muted/neutral colors that you can slip on with a pair of booties in order to have a stylish yet warm look.  

No. 3: a maroon purse

The color maroon screams fall, so one piece I'm looking to add to my closet this fall is a maroon purse.  Technically I don't own one yet, but it's definitely on my list of things to buy!  Here are some pics of purses to give you guys some inspiration when it comes to this fall trend!

NO. 4: patterned pants

A big trend right now is straight legged pants with a fun pattern on them.  This pattern could be anything from gingham to cheetah to camo.  Another fun way to wear this trend is to get printed pants with a cropped ankle to add an extra stylish detail to your look.  

No. 5: sweatshirts

My final fall wardrobe staple is a good sweatshirt.  The key is to wear a sweatshirt that's either a trendy color, pattern, or brand.  Pairing your sweatshirt with the right accessories, like layered necklaces or a cute purse, will turn a bland sweatshirt into a trendy look.
