In preparation for fall, I have started to take a closer look at my closet to determine the things I need to add for the coming season. Since I’m saving up to buy some “investment pieces” (like a leather jacket and flat riding boots), I am trying to only purchase affordable items that will transition into the cooler weather. August and September are typically the months when I plan for a larger shopping budget, especially as I get ready to travel to NYC for Lucky FABB and Fashion Week.
I have placed a few online orders as well, but will wait to share those purchases after they arrive & I can determine if I’ll be keeping them. In addition to the pieces below, I also spent $44.98 on items at TJ Maxx (seen in my latest outfit post here), bringing my purchases for August thus far to $120.67.
love your flats girl!! i want a pair!!
man, i wish we had an H&M. I also wish that they woudl allow online sales!!

I really love the peplum top!
I'm also looking at flat riding boots and a black leather jacket for the fall. Would love to see what you find that's wallet friendly. 🙂
The speckled peplum top is my favorite. It would look cute with colored denim! I'm sure it looks great by itself for the summer, or with a cardigan in the fall! Good pick 🙂

Your fall pieces are SO CUTE so far! I love that peplum top, and the color of the pants is perfection – my go to color for fall! & so exciting that you're going to Lucky FABB! I was hoping to make it this year, but no such luck! Sigh! Next year!
I have an eye on the H&M pants. The color is just awesome. Probably going to buy them too 😀

Ooohh, really love that peplum top! It looks so good with those pants too! I'm definitely not ready for Fall shopping, but looks like I better get ready quickly since it's already arriving in stores!

Absolutely adore that top, such a great print (price, too). I, too, have switched gears to fall and have stopped buying summer pieces.
Um…. YES to all of this, especially the pants! Love the color – perfect for fall!

I like how you are taking the time to consider your Fall purchases. It's something I need to do myself, I get excited when the first fall items arrive in the shops and can make snap (read: BAD) decisions! Great tips here. I bought a leather jacket recently and I know it's going to get a lot of wear.
