The Makings of a Fall Wardrobe

 I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, that I had to stop by a mall during our weekend road trip to pick up a few things suitable for 62 degree weather.  While shopping for items that I needed, I was totally in tune to the fall looks and started creating a list of items and looks I WANTED for fall.

  For me, fall will be all about COLOR, TEXTURE, PATTERN, DETAILS AND ALL THINGS PLUSH AND COZY.  Here’s the looks I hope to be sporting for the season…

 

I love long skirts, even though I’m on the shorter side of the growth chart (5’2″).  While the horizontal stripes in this skirt are not my favorite, the combination of a long skirt,  a great pair of boots and a sweater may be my go to outfit for fall.

I Love Scarves!  Solid, plaid, patterned…you name it.  For fall, I plan to wear a lot of solid colored scarves and give them a bit more style with the addition of a vintage pin.  I’ve found some really great scarves at TJMaxx, Old Navy and Macy’s. 

I worked for Eddie Bauer (all things cold weather) for 11 years and developed somewhat of love for outerwear.  A few years ago I purchased a bright red wool coat and hope to add something bold and orange to the mix this year.  Color makes me happy, even in the dead of winter.  This particular beauty is by Burberry and is available at Nordstrom.

So, we all know about my handbag obsession.  Just looking at this clutch makes my heart go pitter patter.  Love the animal print and compact size.  A must-have for fall!

I’m loving the tie neck blouses that are being shown for fall.  I remember wearing these “back in the day” and can’t wait to relive this style moment.

What girl doesn’t love (faux) fir?  I have a couple of fur collars (handed down from my mom), that I’m planning to add to simple cardigans and blazers for fall.

This boot is definitely on my list.  I love the rugged heel with the more stylized flap and buckle detail. Vaneli Jancey Boot available at Nordstrom.

Classic cardigans are already a wardrobe staple for me, but I want to add a few new colors to my line-up for fall.  Deciding what colors is the hard part.

 

I’m waiting a few more weeks to hit the stores and really begin my fall shopping. And, I’m sure I’ll add a few more things to my shopping list before then.

 

Have you starting shopping for fall yet?  What’s on your list?
