Fall is my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons but mostly the fashion. There is nothing more chic and sophiscated than fall fashion; nothing prettier or cozier or more lustful than a sweater, leggings and boots. It makes my heart sing a beautiful song.

Personally, I think this year's fall fashion trends are some of the best; lady jackets, plaid, suede...give me all the texture & warm hues. The shoe trends are also right on point; knee high boots are back, ankle booties, and we can't forget about ballet flats, can we? 

Aside from the trends, the brands are killing it in the shoe department. Everything does look a little similar but I like that, because you have a wide variety of price points, fits and styles. From Steve Madden to Sam Edelman and Marc Fisher, every brand has a pair of shoes you'll love. 

So I think the title of this blog post is a little misleading. I'm talking about my favorites for fall fashion but it's mostly sweaters.

Sweaters are my favorite item of clothing, especially during the fall. I think they are the most versatile piece of clothing you can keep in your closet. You can dress them up with heels, dress pants, and a chunky statement necklace or you can dress it down with leggings and UGG slippers.

Please, give me all the sweaters!

Sweaters are a staple for me at work -- I have a uniform during the winter and that is black or navy blue jeans/jeggings, a sweater, statement necklace, riding boots or ankle boots.

Because of the previous statements, most of my wish list consists of sweaters. Sorry if that's not your thing but there are so many pretty clothes to share!

There are a few jackets, vests, and jeans included in this slideshow but honestly, I think I'm set for jeans. I bought a few pairs at American Eagle over the past few weeks and I'm obsessed. You can find those items here, here, & here.

I think a few, really good pairs of pants should be the first priority, then you can just switch out tops to have a complete wardrobe. Grab a good pair of neutral riding boots, ankle booties, flats, a good classic neutral handbag and you are good to go!

My number one places to shop for any sort of wardrobe are American Eagle Outfitters & J.Crew Factory -- similar enough to be cohesive in one closet but different enough that not everything is the same.
