FINDING FALL: SHOPPING LIST.

It’s no secret that I love to shop, however, I have really been trying to implement “shopping with a purpose” instead of just shopping when the mood strikes me. I KNOW. I am such an adult right now! I try to start each season with a few new staple pieces, and fall is probably my favorite season to shop for. Before I allow myself to physically go shopping, I make a list of the items I have from last year and then decide what key pieces I want to add to this year’s wardrobe.

I am someone that always benefits from a shopping plan, or I will buy everything in sight and none of it will make sense. Before I could make my list, I had to get in the cool-weather mindset. It is still 90 degrees in Atlanta, so that took a little work. Let’s be honest, I had to go get a dark mani and turn the A/C down to 65 in my apartment. I take my craft very seriously.
I can usually make my list based on what I see when I picture my own personal life during the season in question. For me, fall is usually filled with dining al fresco, latte runs, drives through the mountains, and nights bundled with red wine in hand. I picture myself wearing slouchy sweaters, fitted denim, comfy boots and warm layers.
Once I have that image in my mind, I make a budget. HA! Just kidding. That’s the part where I need work, so I downloaded this printable for good measure. Then comes the fun part, you SHOP.

THE LIST:

1. Oversized Sweaters: Every year, without fail.
2. Neutral Slip-ons: This is a trend I was very nervous about, but also very drawn to.
Love them in a neutral color with skinnys & a big sweater.
3. Leather/Coated Leggings: My biggest cold-weather staple. LOVE.
4. Plaid: Plaid is huge for fall & I love it in an easy-to-wear way, like a big scarf.
5. Structured Bags: I am leaning towards dark color-blocked top-handles.
6. Leather Jackets: Polished & cool. Wear them over everything.
7. Over the Knee Boots: Warm & comfortable.
8. Felt Hats: Less hair washing. End of story.
9. Faux Fur Vests: I’ll never quit you. Layer all day long.
10. Grey Denim: Ok, so I accidentally forgot to include this in the collage, but here..

  1. You are so talented. I love the list and maybe I can try a few of these things out this fall. I need help! Haha.

  7. You are too funny! I love your fall must-haves and I can't wait to throw on comfy sweaters and leggings again. I'm super sad to see summer leave, but happy about the fall clothing so it's a toss up for me. Ha!
