Top 10 Fall Essentials (within every budget!)

"What are your top shopping picks for fall?"
"What essentials should I have in my closet to be ready for the colder weather but still fashionable?"
"What trends do you love this fall?"

These are the main questions filling up my email inbox lately...so I decided to pull together a lil' shopping guide featuring my top 10 picks for fall fashion!

So without further ado...here are the items on my fall shopping list:

Ankle Boots: Versatile  /  Sexy  /  Super comfy
Ribbed Tights:  Gray  /  Fuchsia
Something Leather:  Pencil Skirt  /  Flowy skirt
Jeweled Collar:  Metal collar  /  Black collar
Bright Sweater:  Blue  /  Yellow

Umm...Marion.  There are only 5 here.

And that is because this is just Part 1.
Check back this week for Part 2!

So which is your favorite trend in the list above?!

XO - Marion

I absolutely love the bright yellow cardigan from J Crew. I am in the process of purchasing new school clothes (teacher, too) since I lost a bunch of inches over the course of this past year (yeah, poor me, right?) :) I love your blog and have been getting MANY ideas from it for my school clothes shopping. Thank you!!

I'll take one of each please, but my favorite trend is the jeweled collar and leather. Luckily I bought a leather a line skirt last fall that I hardly wear....can't wait to break out that puppy....to work? What do you think?

The everyday ankle bootie is something I've been wanting since LAST FALL - this year I'm determined to get a pair, I know they'll come in so handy with jeans, dresses/skirts with tights.

Also I want statement earrings and loafers. :)

I love the look of ribbed tights! But, I it's going to be awhile before I get into the jeweled collars - for some reason they confuse me.

Boots boots and more boots with the tights. Yes some of these are on thy radar. I am also digging the oversized sweaters with the Aztec prints. It's a travel or weekend must.

LOVE color and a great sweater is a wonderful place to use it in an outfit.

EVERYONE should have a classic leather skirt in their wardrobe. I admit it, a little biased on that one. Hee Hee
