fall must haves. part I

As fall quickly approaches, it's time for us to approach our 

closets and assess our wardrobes. For me, fall is the best 

season for fashion. You can layer up your iconic pieces and 

do some serious accessorizing. 

Let's start with this short checklist of things you need this 

fall... Don't worry, it's only the beginning.  

A cool cardigan: Choose something out of the ordinary... 
Oversized, beaten up, or colorful, make it a little different!
This specific cardigan is from Iona, one of my favorite 
stores in Madison.

Distressed boyfriend jeans: This trend is nothing new but 
isn't going anywhere! Throw on your most comfortable pair 
of boyfriend jeans for a go to look for fall.

High booties: These are key for rocking those baggy jeans, 
they give you the little oomf you need for this totally cool, 
comfy outfit. This is one of my favorite pairs from shopbop.

Cozy beanie: This is my favorite part about cold weather. 
A beanie adds a great touch to any outfit and is the perfect 
accessory to keep you warm on those chilly mornings come 
fall.

boyfriend dressing

One trend I love but struggle with a bit is dressing like a boy(friend). 
At first, I was puzzled by the baggy jeans, baggy shirt look being worn by 
all the hottest (tiniest) women in fashion. Why would they want to hide 
their amazing figures? I thought to myself. Then I tried on this pair of 
J Brands a couple years ago and realized exactly why... What's not to
 love about soft, baggy, super comfy jeans? They work any way, with sneakers
 or heels, an old t-shirt or silk blouse. Wear em, love em... you can even 
dance in em, if you want to.
