Can you believe school has already started? It seems like summer vacation just flew by; and was shorter than last year! This makes me want actual fall weather to start as soon as possible. After all, pumpkin spice cereal has hit store shelves! It is entirely possible I may have stocked up on a few boxes already. . .
While the weather is still warm, this is the time to shop our closets for the fall season. This is also a great time to start filling in the holes we find in our wardrobe with accessories we can wear now. Of course, a few cozy sweaters to admire are nice additions too. I cannot wait to wear my new fall sweaters! I am just patiently waiting for cooler temperatures.
Right now, investing in cozy sweaters, classic boots, Mary Jane shoes, and the anonymous handbag is a great way to fill in our wardrobes. Also, fall nail polish is an easy way to rock a touch of fall without needing cooler temperatures. Love that!
It is time to start shopping for the fall season! But, before spending money on all those shiny new things at the store, let’s dive into our archives and find items which can have a new life this fall season. Your bank account will thank you.
The fall 2024 season is a continuation of chic dressing. Your logo items can stay stored in the back of your closet for later use. Right now, pull forward solid-colored sweaters, striped sweaters, polo style necklines or “Golf Shirts,” and neutral hues.
When it comes to denim, these pants are our seasonal workhorses. Your skinny jeans can stay stored. The fall 2024 season is about the classic cut and wide leg denim. Flares are OK, but classic and wide leg is where it’s at.
Despite logo’s being a no-no, the Gucci GG belt is making a resurgence. I am not sure why, but hey, let’s pull those back out and rock them! I sold mine, and now I have a few regrets. Haha. That being said, I wouldn’t buy one just yet, if you have it great, if not, continue to rock your logo-less belt.
Handbags are continuing to be anonymous. Keep wearing your timeless bags. In addition, bags from the early 2000’s are making a mini-resurgence once again. If you have them stored in the back of your closet, great, pull them out. If not, I wouldn’t invest in a brand new re-make of a once famous IT bag. If you have always loved a bag from twenty years ago, look for it on the vintage or resale market. I wouldn’t spend top dollar for a re-make. This will be a fleeting trend and these bags will end up in storage again next year.
Wondering which handbag silhouettes are hot for fall 2024? Look for slouchy hobos and totes as well as east/west silhouettes. Love them!
Unknown designers are hot. There have been so many scandals lately with some of the most iconic designer brands, fashionistas everywhere are gravitating towards new, emerging designers and unknown brands. Look for style, quality, and wearable colors. This is the time to invest in quality not someone’s brand name.
Here are some of my favorite anonymous handbags, in case you don’t have one in your closet:
Let’s talk shoes! Western boots are still hot, so pull them back out and rock them with your favorite dresses, skirts, and denim. In addition, the Mary Jane is hot; as well as ballet flats, and flats in general. Ankle breaking heels are not hot. When it comes to sneakers, we are in transition. Look for styles and colors which fit into your wardrobe, there isn’t an IT sneaker right now. So, pull your favorite street sneakers out of your closet and rock them this fall. Do they need a refresher? Check out my post about cleaning white sneakers.
Jewelry is still chic. Again, keep your logo baubles in the jewelry box and wear timeless jewelry. Look for your favorite pieces in your jewelry box and rock them this fall. There is no need to buy jewelry this season unless you have a hole in your wardrobe. I recommend investing in beautiful jewelry from Louis Hill or affordable, fun jewelry from Kendra Scott.
Well, those are the things to pull out of your closet for the upcoming fall season. After you shop your closet, you can make your fall shopping list. I bet you just saved a ton of money shopping your closet! I know I did! Love that!
Fall is in the air! Well, only at the mall, it’s still summer outside. That being said, I am patiently waiting for fall weather so I can start wearing a cozier wardrobe! I love sweaters, boots, and everything cozy! Bring on the cooler temps!
This fall season, we are seeing a lot of traditional autumn hues, chic and timeless styles, and a continuation of neutrals as well as quiet branding; i.e. no logos.
As a recession looms, it is important to continue to save your money when it comes to trends. Instead of spending money on trendy items which will last one season, two or three if you are lucky, money is better spent on investment items and styles which transcend trends. So, this fall season, I am sticking to classic looks, and simple pieces. After all, I am all about a good investment piece anyway!
