Fall has always been my favorite time of year, my least favorite being the end of summer when it’s 100+ degrees with 98% humidity. I think it comes from always being excited to get back into a routine. Even though it’s been years since I’ve had to go “back to school,” it just seems like positive change in the air always comes from fall. I guess for good reason- fall was when i started my amazing internship with Jamie Moffett. Fall is when I started at the firm, started my lease in Georgetown, and moved into my new Glover Park place with the love of my life. September + October rule, y’all.
I love fall styles too. The plaids, the textures, the layers. Gimme gimme gimme! Let me break it down for you what I’ve really been checking out for this season:
The utility jacket has been getting a lot of attention for the past couple of years. I happen to love this one with the primary colored splatter paint. It adds something, I think, to a look that everyone has been rocking. On the subject of jackets, I’m still sad I didn’t get that green vegan leather gem from the outlets in Mississippi. However, the olive + structure on this BB Dakota vegan leather jacket is kiiiind of perfect and might be going on my wish list.
If we’re talking layers, I have totally fallen smitten with shearling vests. I actually got one at the beach a couple weekends ago, and I can’t wait to wear it with jeans + boots, probably belted. No layering look in fall is complete without the ever-popular blanket scarf (at least in my opinion). The pictured Steve Madden scarf has been all over the place since the first leaf fell somewhere in, like, Connecticut this year, and I love the colors!
Booties booties booties booties, rockin’ errrywherrre! You all saw my saga about the burgundy booties. I’ve been having a similar experience looking for perforated peep-toe, because once you get an idea in your head about shoes you need you can’t stop. Right? Not just me? I hope. Luckily, I found both for you under $50 at Charlotte Russe. Shop the burgundy here + perforated here.
I forget about bottoms sometimes because I basically live in dresses, but two looks have spoken to me recently via other bloggers. I feel like I now need a dressed up leopard skirt for work + ripped black skinnies for play!
Remember how I got really excited that my supposed doppelganger, Maisie Williams of GoT fame, was accessorizing accessibly? I found a similar little bag BUT STUDDED! If you need something bigger (I usually do!) check out the Alice bag from Urban Expressions. You can get 25% off the Alice or any of their other vegan accessories with the code CLOVE25!
Ok, so now you’ve seen my top picks for this fall. What are yours? I’d love to know in the comments below!

I’ve always wanted a shearling vest! I finally got a jacket but a vest would be such a great addition to my wardrobe. Love the outfits you’ve put together.
