The Fall Basics That I’m Loving

Just like everyone else (or so it seems), I love the fall season with the changing leaves and the colder temperatures. Even though South Carolina seems to extend its summer months as long as possible, it’s finally cold enough to wear sweaters, boots, and everything cozy and comfortable. So obviously it was time to update my wardrobe for fall and I wanted to share the fall basics that I’ve been loving this season.

Black Bodysuits

I recently picked up a turtleneck bodysuit from Target for only $16, and it’s one of my favorite pieces this season. It’s just so effortless and chic without trying too hard. There are a ton of great bodysuits out there so I’m linking a few that I’ve been obsessing over, some even with fun cut outs and shapes.

Cardigans

It wouldn’t be fall time without a good, cozy cardigan to spice up an outfit. I love throwing one on over a basic outfit or over a dress to keep me nice and toasty. Plus they are super easy to dress up or down and are perfect for the transitional months. I’m obsessed with cardigans that are color-blocking or a solid jewel-toned color for the fall season.

Turtleneck Sweaters

I used to hate turtleneck sweaters because I always felt like I was suffocating in them when I was a child. Thankfully over the years, I’ve gotten over that phobia and they are now my favorite type of sweater to wear during the fall season. The only catch is that they have to be soft for ultra-coziness and just a little oversized for good measure.

Midi Skirts

Even though I’m a petite girl (I’m only 5’2”), I love wearing midi skirts with some cute mules or booties. They make me feel so feminine and sophisticated when I wear them, so I’ve been slowing adding a few to my wardrobe. Pro tip to rocking a midi skirt when you’re short is to wear tall shoes paired with it to length your body.

Trench Coats

If you pick up anything for the new season, you have to grab a good trench coat. It’s a versatile piece that will last in your wardrobe for a lifetime and go with anything that’s currently in your closet. Plus it’s a perfect for this transitional weather right now because it’s not too thick or too thin.

Corduroy Jackets

After picking up the pink corduroy jacket from H&M a few months ago, I’ve been utterly obsessed over corduroy ever since. I never knew how comfy the fabric was until I ordered that jacket. While the pink one that I’m thinking about isn’t really fall-like, you can easily grab a jacket that is more jewel toned or warm toned for a more appropriate fall outfit attire. Since the fabric has a texture and a design to it, it effortlessly adds a little extra something to a basic outfit.

Booties

Even though I’m obsessed with thigh high boots and the tall riding boots, I can’t let go of a good short bootie. I love rocking booties in the fall time because they go with everything while still keeping you warm and cute. I can easily throw them on with a sweater dress or rock them with a pair of jeans without hesitation. My favorites are a plain black pair, but I’m thinking about adding a fun leopard print bootie to my collection pretty soon.
