Happy Monday! I told y’all that I was getting into the “fall” mode already, so today I’ve rounded up some fall basics that are essential for every woman’s wardrobe (and yes, I do know it’s still hot outside but that will not keep me from dreaming of pumpkin spice lattes!). My favorite part about dressing for fall is layering… but to layer successfully, you have to have a lot of simple, basic pieces. For tops, I recommend long-sleeved tees, button-up shirts, cardigans and vests (in case you haven’t heard, this herringbone vest from the above photo is back in stock). As for pants, three really good pairs are all you need for the entire season if you pick the right ones! I recommend a pair of skinny jeans (so that you can tuck them into boots and wear with flats), thick black leggings or jeggings (I personally love these with the faux-leather stripe down the side), and a pair of colored pants or cords. My picks are below.

Give me a good leopard flat and I'm sold. That's about the only fall must-have I need each year!

Love fall so many accessories and layers to work with. Great post! Check out fashion blog mywhiteT.com
I was so excited to see this vest back in stock the other day but they didn't have my size 🙁 I'm not going to give up though!! I LOVE a good puffy vest!!
You and Starbucks are ready for fall! 🙂 PSL is coming soon!
I love fall fashion so much – I can't wait to be outside, and all I want is a vest like that! That chunky cardigan is also perfection.
This is the best fall set I've seen! I'm LOVING those wine colored jeans. You are so right about only needing three pairs of pants for the season. Definitely saving up for those 🙂

Hey Lauren! The original one is from Zara, but I bought it last fall and unfortunately it is no longer online! I found one that is less than $40 and extremely similar right here: http://rstyle.me/n/nwt5srnq6. Hope that helps!
Thanks! That shirt & elbow patch is too cute! Love this fall style 🙂
Love the herringbone vest!

I just ordered the vest and the sweater with the elbow patches you recommended. I am thrilled J Crew brought back the vest–I wanted one last year but they were sold out. Thanks so much for this post!
obsessed with this vest! Looks so cute on you 🙂
