Forever 21 Fall Haul


        
        

I realized soon into this fall season that I was sorely missing out on a few staples that I absolutely love! Firstly, I snagged two different sweater dresses (in charcoal and in a cream color). I had to toss one of my favorite sweater dresses due to a massive hole in the knitting which couldn't be fixed with a little sewing unfortunately. I'm hoping that these two will be great for this season!

Secondly, I picked up that wonderful green pleated skirt, which I think will look great this fall! Hopefully I can layer it with tights and a cute sweater on top.

Lastly, I was able to find a plaid blouse, something that could be worn by itself or under a solid-colored sweater. I haven't quite been able to pull it off because my other plaid shirts are just a little too thick, so hopefully this will solve that conundrum! 

Forever 21 has always been a good way to fill out my wardrobe when I'm a little short on money, and while it's not the same as saving up for a super high quality item, it's definitely a perk to know you can get all of this for the price of a pair of nice jeans! 

Happy Monday!

Fall is Here to Stay





Fall has got to be one of my favorite seasons for a few reasons. Firstly, it means that my favorite pieces of clothing have come out of storage and are now in the front of my closet! Boots, scarves, sweater dresses, you name it. It's finally reached a temperature here in Columbus where I can stand to wear these things outside and now feel like I'm baking! Secondly, I love the things to eat and drink in fall. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, mostly due to the food but also for the time that I get to spend with my family. As for drinks, I can get away with drinking hot chocolate on the daily as well as put anything pumpkin in my coffee drinks. It's a win win in my book! And last but not least, I love the colors of fall. The reds, oranges and yellows in the leaves can completely change how a street looks in such a short amount of time, and really brings back memories of my childhood raking leaves and playing outside in this weather. Every year I get just a little giddy waiting for this season to peek it's head around the corner :)

Listed below are a few of my choices when it comes to accessories for fall, including scarves and boots. So many choices, and not enough time to list all of the ones that I love! I do like to go to Nordstrom for many things, just because of how convenient it is to find everything that I need, but I also do find that for fall items I can also find some things at stores like L.L.Bean and J.Crew, who I go back to for certain staples (scarves at L.L.Bean and jackets at J.Crew).
