Fall Basics

For this post I decided to incorporate what I believe to be the 5 essentials in fashion for fall 2013. First off, you will need distressed skinny jeans. They are the perfect tool to making your average outfit look like a stylish one. Who knew we had to pay so much for ripped jeans? Luckily, the Blank NYC ones I found are super cheap, and fit just as well as my Rag & Bones. The second thing you will need this fall is a good denim shirt. (Or two, or three) Third comes the cargo jacket. They come in all shapes, sizes, and bodies, but for me I went with a simple one that I can wear with just about any fall outfit. Fourth comes combat boots. We are seeing these with skinny jeans, skirts, shorts, dresses, leather of all sorts...you name it. And last- a killer pair of shades. Just because the weather is cooler doesn't mean its not sunny out. Fall is the #1 time that people get wrinkles in their eyes from squinting because we all just assume we don't need to wear sunglasses anymore since the nice weather is over. False! What are some of your favorite fall basics in your closet?
