Prints and patterns can be so alluring. I’ll be the first one to admit that as I look at my clothing rack decked in colorful, rainbow pieces. However, basic essentials don’t have to be boring. In fact, they can actually be just as fun as prints. Today (more like tonight), I wanted to share some of my very favorite ‘fall essentials’ that I have been wearing pretty much nonstop.
I definitely go through color palette phases, and I am all about warm browns, bronzes, and blush hues right now. They are neutral, but far from boring. When I am torn on what to wear for any occasion (whether that be work, a weekend picnic, girls night, or even a night out), I always reach for my favorite western booties, a simple tee, flattering skinny jeans, and a warm cardi. To make an outfit a little more interesting, I love to add a little neck bandana just to jazz things up a bit. I wear my blush one on almost a weekly basis, and I am dying to pick another one up (definitely have my eyes on the ‘tan’, ‘black’, and ‘rust’)! Bandanas are definitely a cool way to add something special to an outfit chock-full of basics.
One thing I love about this simple outfit is that you can mix it up a ton of different ways. Want something more edgy? Swap the simple denim jeans for some black, distressed denim and tall black booties. Date night? Pair the cardi with a hoop earrings, a black dress, and over the knee boots. Sunday in the park? Swap the tee for a cute cami and throw on some converse, and you’re good to go. The options are endless.
Let me know what your go-to fall essentials are this time of year!
