I can't believe I'm asking (fall related)

What is in your shopping cart this fall? I need almost an entire overhaul of my pathetic wardrobe and I'm determined to buy several good pieces rather than random crap. I plan on browsing Pinterest for ideas too, but figured we might have some fun too!
Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!

    This fall im going to need some maternity stuff so i dont think that is helpful. 
    But i am in the market for some black riding boots. Ill buy some dark skinny jeans. a few solid color tops. A couple of scarves. And some sweaters.

  • I'm looking for a black and a navy blue blazer that I can wear professionally but also casually.  I've seen some pics of blazers paired with dresses or jeans and tanks that look really cute.  I'm hoping to start substitute teaching again in the fall, so I need a few more dressy pieces, but it's not SUPER dressy so I'm hoping I can find some that do double duty.  But blazers are tough...my boobs are so big that I need a large size in order to button correctly, but then the arms and length tend to be too long, and I don't have the budget to get them tailored right now (hence the going back to work thing).
    Would a single button blazer work? Or a more structured or fitted blazer that you don't ever button and just wear open?

  • I am looking at mix and match posts on Pinterest to help stretch my budget. There are a few were all the pieces are from one store and the blogger even provides links straight to the store. It was more summer stuff though so I'm hoping she puts out a fall one soon.

  • I mostly wear tanks and tees with a cardigan or swing style open sweater and either skinny jeans or chinos. This year I'm mostly looking for shoes. Last Fall I bought a couple new sweaters and over the summer I've picked up a few nice flowy tanks. I need some great flats that will keep my feet warm but be cute and comfy. I never know what type of sock/stocking/shoe to pair with my outfits. I have a really hard time with boots so those are usually out for me.

  • I love fall clothes!  Everything about fall is the best.  I bought 2 pairs of boots and 2 pairs of jeans at the Nordstrom sale.  One pair of boots are short and brown, the other pair are black and over-the-knee or can be folded down.  Both are flat.  Both pair of jeans are skinny.  One is a dark indigo wash and the other are gray.  

    I don't know what else I want to buy as far as clothing.  I was in my 3rd tri last fall, so some of my old clothes might feel "new" again to me.  We'll see.

  • I'll likely need at least a couple pairs of new jeans since I still don't fit in my pre-pregnancy stuff. And some cute ballet flats, maybe the leather Frye ones. And hopefully a cashmere cardigan.

    I also need to step up my skincare routine. Anyone have a recommendation for a good exfoliating mask?

  • I don't need much for fall. Last year I went a little nuts because I wasn't pregnant anymore and got a lot of new fall clothes. I might invest in some more casual pieces because I will only be working part time and will need more jeans, t-shirts, etc. I really want a few good pairs of high quality jeans.

    Leather jackets are great for fall. I have a black one, a taupe one and a brown one. I wear them with different scarves and they look great.
