Fall is finally here and I am even more ready for it than usual this year after a very hot, very humid and very rainy summer in New York.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year for so many reasons but it is also my favorite season to get dressed. I’m excited to begin pulling out all my Fall favorites that I have rounded up to share with you today.

This past weekend I spent time turning over my closet and rediscovering so many items I’ve had for years that I can’t wait to style again.

Long time readers will recognize a lot of these pieces and already know that I truly believe in making investments in your wardrobe for classic pieces that you know will be in style for years to come. I’ve given this post a full refresh and included some of my newest purchases in it.

I am so excited to revisit a lot of my favorite items this Fall and hope this post will inspire you as you shop as well! The only reason I can do posts like this with images old and new is because of investing in classic pieces that hold up.

As always, you can shop my closet in The Shop which I regularly update!

And don’t miss this year’s 2024 Fall Essentials PDF! 50+ pages of curated finds for the season.

These Veronica Beard jeans from the brand that I *love* (size 28). And this beautiful plaid Sezane blazer I hope they’ll restock (size 6).

It is one of my Fall & Winter favorites. It doesn’t fit much – just my phone, credit card and keys but it makes the perfect teeny companion to a lot of my outfits and ensures I let my doesn’t-show-up-often minimalism shine.

My Vince and J.McLaughlin leather jackets.

I bought the Vince one back in 2014 and it is still one of my most worn items that I own and the J.McLaughlin one has topped many an outfit of mine.

It is such a timeless piece.

Wool charcoal jacket 

I own this blazer-jacket from Sezane in the beautiful navy and love the fit of it so when I saw the new wool charcoal drop as part of the Sezane Fall Arrivals last year, I snagged it right away. Wearing a size 6.

These shoes, these jeans (size 27) and this hat.

J.Crew Slip dress

This under $100 slip dress is so beautiful and great for travel. Wearing an 8. 

Agolde High Rise Stovepipe Jeans

The Agolde High Rise Stovepipe Jeans are one of my most 90s jeans. This classic high rise straight jean features a slim leg designed to elongate your frame. They run quite long (I am 5’5″ for reference) and have slim, straight leg. I have the Helm wash in size 28.

These faux leather pants

One of my best purchases of 2023. Wearing a size 8. They are oh so soft and oh so flattering.

Sarah Flint Perfect Riding Boot

These are so classic, so comfortable and feel like they get better with wear. Given their price point I am grateful for their timeless make and style.

This wool oversized blazer jacket.

The new Sezane Jack Jacket is so good. Part outerwear, part blazer and so chic. Wearing a size 6. 

Agolde Parker High Waist Crop Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans

I love lighter wash denim as transitional denim. Perfect for Spring into Summer and Summer into Fall. This pair by Agolde are a great example of how when a jean does not look in person like it does on the model. I like this pair with its slight distressing for casual looks.

I found this style to run large and sized down to a 27.

The J.Crew Stevie boots.

So good for walking around. I got so much wear out of mine from last year and can’t wait to pull them out again.

The Margaux Downtown boot

In this gorgeous, on-trend chocolate brown.

Their pieces are beautiful investments. They don’t ever discount however and often sell through. These are pieces you’ll always get compliments on. 

This Dorsey link bracelet is my newest purchase, too and I am *in love*. I love that it looks like you’re wearing a vintage timepiece without a watch face. I got the size 6.5in.
