5 non-clothing essentials for Fall

The first day of Fall is less than 2 weeks away so I though I'd share 5 non-clothing essentials for Fall with you. There is nothing new about these items. They have been talked about to death but I can't stress enough the importance of having these essentials in my closet. I am looking forward to bring them out again in a few weeks.

Fall essential # 1: A blanket scarf - No brainer, right? It can be worn so many ways and is a great way to add color and pattern to a basic outfit. There are tons of options out there and for the most part, they're pretty inexpensive as well.

Fall essential # 2: A wool hat - I was on the hunt for a wool hat this Fall and picked up this one last week. I am in love. It's gorgeous in person and the price is right. This hat is available in 4 colors. It's a little big on me but I use this trick and it works like a charm. I might have to pick up the grey version as well
 

Fall essential # 3: Fashion tights - Fall is the perfect time to rock sheer tights. Patterned tights are the easiest way to elevate your Fall outfits. I did a review for Berkshire tights last year and am thrilled for the opportunity to try a few pairs from their Fall collection. The sheer dots tights are perfect for this time of the year when temperatures in the 50s and 60s. They add a fun element to any outfit. What I love about Berkshire tights is that they have so many options to choose from. The easy on version is great for everyday wear. The moisture wicking material keeps you cool and dry. When the temperature drops into the 30s, the cozy hose is the perfect option. As its name suggest, these are opaque tights with fleece-lined legs. They feel so soft against the skin and are so comfortable to wear. As mentioned in the review, Berkshire tights are available in petite, regular and tall sizes.

Fall Fashion Series Recap: Leopard Print & Leather

Fall Fashion Series: LOFT Snow Leopard coat

Since some of my pre-owned items have found their new homes, I allowed myself one more purchase for the month of October. Read about my 1st purchase here. Of course, the 2nd purchase was another coat =)  I've been eyeing this little number forever. Petite sizes are gone months ago online. I kept checking back for weeks but no luck. I caved in and ordered an XS regular to try. As expected, it was too big all around. Out of the blue, I was able to locate a size XXSP by using the "find in store" feature. The store which had the jacket located 20 minutes away from where I live. At first I thought the inventory wasn't updated correctly but when I called, the jacket was indeed available.

What I am wearing:
Jacket: LOFT snow leopard coat - size XXSP
Leggings: Express scuba leggings
Pumps: Ann Taylor *old* (this year's version)
Sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana

Fall Fashion Series: Leopard cardigan

Continuing with my Fall Fashion series, the next installment is all about the leopard print. My love for animal prints continue to grow as I get older. I believe animal print can be so chic and look very sophisticated if done right. I wouldn't wear head to toe leopard print but a small does is always welcome. This leopard cardigan is the perfect piece to pair with this rather plain shirt dress.  Happy Monday, everyone! Linking up with Manic Monday today.

What I am wearing:

Shirt dress: Michael Kors shirt dress *old*

Cardigan: Ann Taylor *old* (similar for under $20)

Shoes: Banana Republic *old* (this year's version)

Fall Fashion Series: Faux Leather Leggings

Continuing with my Fall fashion series, today's featured item is an old pair of faux leather leggings. They are a nice change from your typical black leggings. A good rule of thump when wearing leggings is that no matter how great you look from the rear, make sure you cover it up completely. An overiszed cardigan + a pair of leggings makes a perfect combo for Fall. This outfit is so cozy and comfortable. I wore a little lace top underneath to add a little more interest to a rather plain outfit. Linking up with Manic Monday today!

What I am wearing:
Leggings: Express scuba leggings
Cardigan: LA Made oversized cardigan via TBJB
Top: A&F *old* (buy similar, similar)
Booties: Bandolino (this year's version)

Fall Fashion Series: Faux Leather Skirt

Continuing with my Fall Fashion Series, a (faux) leather skirt is a fashion must-have. I bought this skirt a few seasons ago and am still excited to bring it out when the outside temperature drops. I don't get to wear it often but always get compliments when I do. I recently did a major closet clean out to let go some of the items that didn't get enough wear. All pieces I am wearing in this post are oldies but definitely still remain as my wardrobe favorites.

Fall Fashion Series - Faux Leather Dress

Fall is officially less than 2 weeks away. Even though I am not ready to let go of summer yet, I can't help but get excited about Fall fashion. I purchased this beautiful faux leather dress from the Limited years ago for $30. The smallest size was still too big for me so I got the entire dress altered. This drop-waist dress is a beautiful mixed design of faux leather and ponte in burgundy. Sadly, it’s been sitting in my closet ever since I picked it up from the tailor. This year, I am determined to bring it out. For the next 2 weeks, I am putting together a mini fashion series to show you various trends/looks for the upcoming Fall.

What I am wearing:

Dress: The Limited *old* (buy similar, similar)

Shoes: Ann Taylor

Sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana

Purse: J.Crew *old* (almost identical here and here)
