if it’s fall, then it’s time to update my wardrobe. here are ten items that will keep me at the top of my style game.
leather skirt
dress up a leather skirt for the office with a snazzy jacket or dress it down for the weekend with a turtle and boots. i love the sassy side-zip that adds a modern take to a classic skirt. don’t you love versatility?
houndstooth skirt
a classic houndstooth pattern is given new life with fringe trim. this a-line skirt is the perfect nine-to-five look but can also be worn on the weekend with a pair of tights and boots.
black sweater
this classic staple is given a fresh update with embellished sleeves. this must-have bateau sweater is featured in People magazine.
statement necklace
a statement necklace is a must-have to spice up any outfit. this triple strand pearl necklace is timeless and elegant and will be worn years to come.
tweed jacket
a timeless tweed jacket looks great with skirts and dresses and blue jeans. ’nuff said.
white shirt
a classic staple gets a modern update with a pleated ruffle flounce at the sleeves. a white blouse is a perfect choice 365 days a year.
suede pumps
suede pumps can go from day to night with ease. love the flirty bow that gives a classic staple new life.
calf-hair pumps
a 2″ kitten heel is the ideal height. this pair has a memory foam footbed that’s easy on your feet and perfect for work.
clutch
for instant glam to any outfit add a clutch. this little number is large enough to hold keys, phone, lipstick and more.
statement handbag
accessories can make or break any outfit. one reason i choose my handbags with care. but a statement handbag is always a good idea to have on hand and last for years.

Thanks for the inspiration. Where did you purchase your faux leather pants? Also how to find a great white shirt post would be helpful.

Love Talbots!! Purchased the houndstooth skirt, white shirt & the Chanel-like jacket. And, definitely do more hauls! Ones from J Crew, Boden & Ralph Lauren would be amazing. Great post & video.
thanks for sharing your thoughts! i will definitely be doing another haul video in the future.

Love the houndstooth and the leather skirt. Swoon; I’ve had my eyes on them both. I do have that black sweater with the pearls, and it’s such a nice classic look. Glad to see you’re discovering Boden–it’s one of my favorites as well. I’m not always sure what size I need with them; still learning, but their clothes are lovely. Have a great rest of the weekend.
isn’t that sweater a nice weight, sue?! and i think boden is our kind of store. great pieces with pops of color.

Great Fall update post & fun to see your Talbots “haul”! I’ve ordered the Talbots Anniversary Collection Signature Scarf & it’s my first silk scarf & I love how I’ll be able to fold it different ways to feature different colors. And thanks for demonstrating various ways to wear scarves–I’ll be wearing it as you showed as a belt to dress up my jeans & having fun wearing it different ways!
