Whew, guys. Mid-September to mid-October is one of the busiest seasons of work for me, so I haven’t had as much time during the day to take outfit pictures. Plus, it’s still 90 degrees, so it’s shorts and tanks here.
I’ve been trying to be grateful that it’s so sunny and warm, but everyday I longingly look at my fall clothes wondering when I’ll be able to wear them. So, today I’m showing you the fall pieces I can’t wait to wear.
These are the pieces (or general types of pieces) that I wore to death last fall and winter, and I plan to do the same this year! Before you get tempted to buy these just because you’ve seen them on a blog, make sure you read up on Shopping Mistakes I’ve Made so that you don’t make the same. Just because these are my personal faves doesn’t mean they have to be yours. Remember, look through your pinboards to help you define your own style.
My plan is to write a follow-up post soon showing you my favorite fall go-to outfits. For today, here are the pieces!
Plaid Shirts
I currently have four of these because my favorite go-to fall outfit is a plaid shirt with skinny jeans and riding boots. They can be layered under a sweater, blazer, vest, or a chunky cardigan–like the one featured today. You can also wear them tucked into or knotted over a skirt. They’re so versatile!

- Target options (lots!) – $17.99
- More Target options – $17.99
- Old Navy (also lots!) – $17 – $25
- Kohl’s
Chunky Cardigans
I have a couple of thicker sweater cardigans that I wore to death last year. I wore them over plaid shirts, my denim button up, striped shirts, and dresses. Such a cozy layering piece!
- Target (a bunch of different colors) – $19.99
- Quicksilver
- More Target options (without the cowl neck)
Stripe Tee
It’s no secret that I’ve worked my short-sleeved striped tee to death, and for this fall I stocked up on a few long-sleeved versions for cooler weather. There are so many ways to accessorize a plain striped tee even just with necklaces and scarves. Or you can layer them under cardigans, blazers, and vests (like here).

Cognac Boots
Do I really need to talk about these? They instantly make any outfit more stylish! I think boots are one of the main reasons I love fall fashion! 😀
- DV Dolce Vita
- Steve Madden option
- American Eagle – $79
- Wet Seal – $44.50
Scarves
There are too many awesome scarves out there to show pictures and provide links to everything. Whether it’s a chunky knit one for fall and winter or a light, printed one, they are an easy way to bring pattern and color to an otherwise plain outfit. They are my replacements for necklaces when the weather cools!
- Maroon Knit scarf – $33
- Leopard – $23
Aaaand my next outfit post will resume with shorts and tanks. What pieces are your fall staples?
