Neutral Needs

September 9th, 2008

As cooler weather approaches, my desire for summery printed dresses begins to fade and I instinctively drift towards neutral-colored basics. Here’s a list of my must-haves for Fall.

Clockwise, from left:

Necklace: Cynthia Dugan, Braided Leather Necklace. The ideal piece of jewelry that adds a seductively substantial element to any plain top.
Scarf: Forever 21, Herringbone Scarf. The fringe details and diagonally shaped squares add a playful touch to this classic pattern.
Blazer: Abaete, Laura Blazer. A flirty, form-fitting twist on a masculine staple.
Sandals: Nine West, Adya. The three patent straps are a sexy addition to these peep-toe pumps that I’d pair with some brightly colored tights.
Sweater Vest: Free People, Sweater Cape. A wonderfully oversized hooded cape that will be a cozy option for crisp Autumn mornings.
Knee Socks: JCrew, Argyle Knee-High Wellie Socks. A preppy alternative to tights, that I’d pair with some lace-up oxfords.
Cropped Pants
: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Brushed Twill Cropped Pant. Voluminous in all the right places with a slim waist and tapered legs.
Beret: dELiAs, Brynn Chunky Knit Beret. A chic alternative to the pony tail that transforms a bad hair day into a Parisian-inspired look.
Purse: Ginette Etc, Doble Martini Bag. This metallic leather handbag begs to be paired with some motorcyle boots and the prettiest pink makeup.

What are you looking to add to your Fall wardrobe?

    Lovely picks!! I especially love the scarf. I got something very similar at Uniqlo for 10$ (and I almost shrieked when I saw that a F21 store was opening in Seoul next week).

    Oh, and what would you wear with the socks? A skirts, or maybe shorts?

    Those pants are something else!

    All these things will work well together—the color palette is really great.
