So, on with my must haves for fall…
- A good scarf. Really, it just doesn’t seem like fall if I don’t have a great scarf. Fortunately scarves have made a huge comeback and there is a huge varety of styles out there to choose from. I’m loving the large pashmina’s that are everywhere (some as low as $5!) but I still keep coming back to my funky wool and paper scarf. Paper?!?!? Yep! The yarn was called Papyrus and has wool mixed with cotton thread and little paper fiber pieces. I always get comments on it and it’s snuggly warm and fabulous.
- A new handbag. Not that we need a reason to get a new bag, but hey, Autumn is a great one! Personally I love any reason to embrace the warm colors of fall – gold and rust, cranberry,deep green and chocolate brown. These are the colors I love and this is the season that is all about them! A couple of years ago I started September with a very “teacher-y” handbag – brown background with orange, pink and cream apples and pears on it. Sounds odd, but it was just so cute!
- Boots. Ankle, knee high or somewhere in between, this is the season that they start coming out and I am sooo glad. While I am always on the lookout for the perfect pair of boots, I’m happily trying a few different styles until I can find that one pair. What would my perfect pair look like? Knee high with a 3″ chunky heel. Smooth leather and most likely in a deep brown. Black boots rock too though, so I think we should all get both!
- A plaid skirt. Plaid just seems like fall to me, and I’m not sure why. Perhaps it was the years of back-to-school shopping as a kid when I had the plaid skirt and matching sweater combo in a variety of colors – who knows! Plaids just seem “right” in fall. Long, short or in-between, plaid is fab – and it’s coming back into style in a big way this season! Doin’ a happy dance over here!
- The Perfect Top. Well, with a new skirt, boots handbag and scarf, you need something to wear with them, right? My perfect top would be in bright white. A nice heavy-yet-soft fabric with a v-neck. Somewhat formal looking, but with something flirty about it. You know, like the one I bought for M this year (and she consequently will NOT wear! Kids!) Well, either that or something in a nice, warm, chocolat-y brown. I do love chocolate brown…
So, those are my picks for Fall Must Have’s. Now if I just had the funds to complete the outfit I’d be in good shape! Here’s hoping…

Oh yeah! Scarves should definitely be on the list. And I love the idea of a plaid skirt.
