Let me set the record straight right now. I LOVE to shop. Spending money on clothes is what I was born to do, BUT it's definitely not something I can afford to do. Grabbing trendy pieces every so often is great and often necessary to keep your wardrobe refreshed, but the smart way to make your closet work better for you is to buy some basics. By grabbing a few staple pieces for each season you can easily mix and match your wardrobe into a solid number of different outfits. I've picked out my personal fall basics and a lot the different ways I can pair them all together.

I love how these items already give you 9+ outfit ideas! With the other clothes in your wardrobe you can really make these basics pop and give your own flair to any of these classic outfits. By investing in a few quality staples that you can wear for years you'll be saving yourself from tons of trendy items that will be stuck in your closet when they fall out of style next season. Sorry to cut this post a bit short, but I am currently traveling to Orange County!
Which basic are you going to add to your closet? Do you have a favorite basic that I didn't mention here?
LOVE the outfit inspiration. I'm digging all the leopard details this fall
ReplyDeleteStop! I need that Leopard Sweater asap! Love all these looks
ReplyDeleteThese really are such great basics. Adding the leopard is a wonderful way to keep it stylish. That sweater is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTalk about perfect timing. I was just talking to my friend about how I need to finally go shopping for some new fall staples. I'm quite the opposite, and I tend to dread having to go shopping, so I don't really do it unless it's necessary. But some basics I need are some booties and fall cardigans!
ReplyDeleteSuch great fall fashion, I basically wear leggings and a flannel everyday. I am so basic.
ReplyDeleteLove your picks! I'm loving that leopard print is basically a neutral now - so fun!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right on with the leopard and plaid. I've seen it everywhere and I'm not mad at it at all! Love the stripe mix up! xo, Jessica

I've always adored stripes on clothes! I have so many tops with stripes and most of them are long-sleeved, so thanks for the ideas on how to style them differently! I love that brown skirt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the pieces and your styling choices! I'm especially loving that skirt!

ReplyDeleteI love these outfits! Nine different outfits - WOW! What a great way to get the most out of your wardrobe. I need to organize something similar. My closet is full of stuff I rarely wear. Time to clean out and stock up on versatile outfits like these!
