You guys know when I love something I love it hard…like my kids, my husband, chocolate, running and…shopping.
CALL ME VAIN I DON’T CARE. I freaking love clothes. Every since I was like 3 I’ve loved to shop and had an appreciation for fashion. My mom used to take all 4 of my sisters on individual “special dates” where we’d get to pick something to do alone with her for an afternoon and I’d always pick shopping. She hated it. I’ve always been the expensive one.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to make a little series of Fall/Winter wardrobe staples– this being the first one! I’ll write an updated post every few weeks and we can geek out over leopard print and chunky sweaters. Sound good?
Here are a few of the things I truly consider STAPLES in my closet right now!
- Chunky sweaters and turtlenecks, and all things neutral or mustard yellow. Favorite places to buy: H&M, Zara, Forever21, Old Navy, Expres
Shown above: H&M sweaters. And my cute kid.

2. A pair of booties that go above the ankle, and socks that hang out of the top. Never thought I’d be into this trend but I’m totally loving it! Socks are from Express, booties are UGG.
3. A good fur vest! For those freezing cold days/nights when you don’t want to wear a coat but also don’t want to freeze your tooshie off. The one shown below was a Christmas gift from Saks, but there are so many great ones out there right now! I’ve seen several at Forever21, H&M, Zara, Nordstrom, Abercrombie, etc.
4. Over the knee boots with a sweater or sweater dress! Obsessed with both of these colors (black and camel). They’re so flattering and make your legs look so long. Pair them with leggings or some skinny jeans and they instantly dress up your outfit (and keep your legs extra warm!)

5. A good leather jacket! I swear leather jackets never go out of style. I go this Top Shop one from Nordstrom a few years ago and it was decently affordable and I’ve worn it SO many times over the years. Definitely a staple I’ll always swear by. Pair it with a nice blouse to dress it up, or a casual pair of jeans and rocker tee to dress it down.
What should I include in my next wardrobe staples post? Tell me what you want to see me style for you guys! Leggings multiple different ways? A sweater dress layered different ways? SHARE!
