5 Fall 2016 Style Must-Haves & Wish List

I’m slowly getting over the fact that summer has left me high and dry… mainly because I’ve got thoughts of riding boots and cute sweaters to comfort me! Sure, the clothing budget is low but a girl can dream. This wish list of Fall 2016 style must-haves includes updates of old favorites and staples that go beyond “trend”.

Burgundy Satchel

One of the many beautiful shades of autumn in a classic satchel with clean simple lines. Ain’t it purdy?

While it’s not one of your everyday colors, burgundy goes with a lot more than you think. If you’re like me, you love the color but always end up buying what makes more sense (aka tan or black). And now that I’m a SAHM without many places to go and already a ton of purses, I may sit this one out and live vicariously through you! Emphasis on MAY! 😉

Over-the-Knee Boots

Zara

*drools*

I’ve always adored this color family (mustard/tan/cognac), especially when it comes to boots, and this leather looks buttery soft. As a huge fan of riding boots, this is like the next level! I’ve never owned a pair of thigh-highs but I could definitely see these with some dark wash jeans, a white, long sleeved tee or sweater and one of these…

Olive Green Utility Vest/Jacket

                                                                           Macy’s   |   H&M

Like the burgundy satchel, this is another longtime want of mine. Either one will do.

Olive green has always been a favorite for the season. Trends come and go but the cargo/utility style continues to be a key player for fall 2016 style. The best thing these have going for them is the length — I prefer to cover the bum wherever possible!

Wool Floppy Hat

Khols

I’m usually more of a basic fedora kinda girl (and I also LOVE this one!) but this rounded, wide-brim style is just as fab and basically synonymous with fall. How cute would this be with an oversized poncho or belted wool trench?!

Long Sweater

(this item is no longer available)

With sleeves or without, this is a definite fall must-have for its simplicity and ability to complete an outfit without much effort. Just throw it on over some jeans and a tee with some weather-appropriate booties and you’re good to go!

With these fall basics, you can create quite a number of different looks. If your funds are limited, you can do like me and take all this inspo to your favorite thrift shop to check out their offerings for the low-low.

So… how ’bout you?! What’s on YOUR Fall 2016 style wish list?
