Fall Wardrobe Staples!

Post sponsored by J.Crew

Who else is ready for crisp fall days?! Cooler weather will be here before we know it and we’re finding the perfect staples for the season at J.Crew! We’ll forever love a good sweater and jeans combo for fall. Right now we’re stocking up on cardigans and pullovers in neutrals that will be the versatile go-tos we’ll turn to regularly…we especially love this fringe detail style, this sweater-blazer and pretty much anything cashmere (J.Crew’s cashmere is such great quality at a reasonable price point!).

We often steer toward a demi-boot jean silhouette, which we love, but we’re also adding high-waist, wider leg denim trousers into our wardrobe like this pair and this darker wash. This year we’re also really into metallic shoes and accessories to amp things up…these two-tone block heels, this gold bucket bag and these silver pointed-toe flats are new favorites!

Our fall shopping list also includes plenty of stripes (we love this poplin button-up, this button-shoulder long sleeve tee and the classic rollneck pullover worn below), and we’re excited to add a few new lady jackets to our closet!

Shop our latest fall must-haves in the gallery below, and you can see even more over at jcrew.com!

Lady Jacket & Sweater Must-Haves!

Hi friends! With cooler weather just around the corner we’re on the hunt for the perfect fall fashion staples! We’re loving all of the lady jacket silhouettes popping up at our favorite brands…right now we’re eyeing this braided trim detail tweed jacket, this denim-edged style and the vibrant red version shown above! These jackets are great over a classic tee, turtleneck or lightweight cashmere sweater, and you can pair them with jeans for a chic + easy combo. Our latest jean must-haves include this vintage-style straight leg cut, this horseshoe style and our new go-to pair that are now 50% off! We love adding a few versatile sweaters to our wardrobe each year…timeless cardigans, cable-knit pullovers and cozy cashmere never go out of style so we get many years of wear out of our favorites! We’re also stocking up on pretty ballet flats (the perfect addition to lady jacket/sweater/jeans looks)…a few new finds we adore include this zigzag detail pair, this raffia and leather combo cap-toe and this bead-detail style. A great classic bag like this rounds out our fall uniform – we’re always checking for deals on our designer handbag wishlist here!

Be sure to take a look at J.Crew’s latest fall markdowns (up to 50% off!)…we’re loving this ruffle-trim buttonup, this cropped quilted barn jacket, these straight-leg jeans and this striped merino pullover. New styles are 20% off right now at Boden when you use the code ‘F3B5’ at checkout – don’t miss this stripe-detail cardigan, this corduroy blazer and this checked wool coat. Today is the last day to take advantage of up to 40% off of everything at Serena & Lily…our favorites include these counter stools, these embroidered pillows, this bar cart and this brass and rattan chandelier. Happy shopping!
