Assume I don't have any stylish basics (cause I don't). What do I need? Are there trends that you have noticed already? What pieces do I need to make some decent outfits? I already have some fabulous cognac wedge heel knee high boots but that's it (thanks Laney). I really need some updating since I've been pg the last two years. Thank you

Re: Ok what do I need to be "in style" for fall?
I consider stylish basics to be things that will never go out of style. Most important - a great pair of jeans that fit well and flatter your shape. I pair that with a nice black fitted blazer with a trendy or embellished tank underneath and cute heels.
A good blazer is great, especially for hiding imperfections while still giving you shape.
I also like a nice patterned wrap dress (again, flattering on imperfect bodies) with tall boots
I am not a big trend follower so I honestly don't even know what's "in"

Yes, I love how scarves look when I see them on people! I feel like I can never do it right though lol. But I love the look and they are definitely in style right now
I also see a lot of tunic style tops with leggings - and scarves!

This. Also you can't go wrong with a classic button down top.
In this fall: dolman sleeves, cowl necks, cropped sweaters, heavier weight maxi dresses, and riding boots.
I say buy timeless items and don't worry too much about what's in style!

I am seeing a lot of tall boots with jeans and big chunky cardigans. Also a lot of military style. Chunky gold jewelry, scarves, wedge heels and flats.
It seems like not much has changed since last fall other than the military stuff.
Jeans (dark wash - no mommy jeans now!).
Boots.
Scarf.
Done.
