Fall Necessities

While I purchase new items every fall, there are a few pieces I use again and again every single year. I am so excited to share my fall necessities with you all! No matter how many trendy items I purchase, these are the ones I always go back to!

Leopard Cardigan

This is definitely a must-have for me for fall! The one I am wearing is out of stock but I linked some similar styles below.

Tan Tote Bag

I carry my tan tote bag around all the time during the fall. I got mine at Nordstrom Rack a few years ago but linked a newer version! I love the Tory ones because they’re cute and hold up so well.

Tall Tan boots

These are a “new” necessity to me, and although I have only had them for a few weeks I already know I am going to get so much wear out of them this year + years to come. I got my normal boot size 8.5.

Spanx Leggings

I live in these all of fall and winter! They are the most comfortable leggings ever made, plus they go with everything and are super flattering! I wear my normal size XS.

Black Over The Knee Boots

I bought a pair of Sam Edelman OTK boots a few years ago on Amazon. They lasted me almost 2 years (I bought them in October 2018) but finally got a tear and then they had to go haha. I really liked them but this year I want something a bit tighter around the legs. I am still on the hunt for a good pair. I tried the Goodnight Macaroon ones along with a few others but haven’t had any luck (it is hard to find ones that are tight on skinny legs that also have an attractive shoe and heel.) But, the ones I had the past few years were a staple and I would consider buying the same pair again if I can’t find something else!

The Pair I used to have!

Black Moto Jacket

This is definitely one of my most worn jackets! The one I have is super soft and warm on the inside, and is perfect for going out to bars at night when you want to look cute but stay warm. I have had mine for years and wear it so much in the colder months!

Black Booties

These are something I wish I had purchased earlier. I spent a lot of time searching for a good pair last year and did come across a few but just didn’t take the leap and ended up wearing my OTK boots wayyy too much haha. I bought this Steve Madden pair this year from the NSale.

I hope this post gave you some fall outfit inspiration! I am sharing several fall looks on my Instagram stories with some of these pieces, so be sure to check that out here!
