FALL CHECKLIST

Fall Essentials by iwasthesea featuring Alexander Wang

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to shopping is buying a piece and wearing it only once. We've all had that moment where we just HAD to have that super cute high-low chiffon dress in blue. Two weeks later we realize high-low hems are dead and hate the poor dress. With the new cool season rolling in to the north, it is wise to make sure you have the basics down first. Basics, that we can wear repeatedly and mix in seamlessly with whatever other craziness we are into at the moment. Designer jerseys anyone?

Not only will having these essentials save you dollars but you will also have less "nothing to wear" episodes. I wrote more tips on ways to prevent these mini crises over at Gozamos.  

Chances are you already have many of these from previous fall seasons, so be sure to check them off your fall shopping list! Here is a past "outfit of the day" made up of fall basics.

Because basics get a lot of love, it can be wise to invest in some pieces. I've added save and splurge options, so you be the judge!
