As a modest dresser, fall just happens to be my favorite season. While I've figured out the formula to layering in the warmer months, I love the ease of throwing on a blazer or cardigan

without having to worry about sweating. (If you're from New York, however, the subways will always remind you of the heat.) While I like to add a few trendy pieces to my closet each season, it's the staples that I've been prioritizing. I keep them on rotation more often, and they make my more out-there pieces much easier to style. If you're someone who is always down for a funky piece, it's important to invest in simple items that you can style your fun pieces around. It's all about balance.

Below, I've rounded up the items that I've been shopping (and wearing) as fall approaches. I've included a variety of price points and styles, so you have plenty of options to choose from. Keep scrolling for your fall fashion download.
