Monday Musts #2


It has been a while since my last Monday must but since summer is on the edge of slipping into fall I thought this would be a good time to do another post. I don’t know about you but fall is definitely my favorite time of year for fashion. Don’t get me wrong, I love slipping on a floral dress but there is something about boots, scarves, leggings, and layers that get me excited for the next few months. 
One style that I am really happy is transitioning over into fall is 90’s grunge because who doesn’t love a little bit of flannel in their lives. But to keep this from looking like you went back 20 years make sure to incorporate a few of these pieces with basics.
 
If you know anything about me I live in boots for about 8 months out of the year. Ankle, army, knee high I love them all. When I saw these grey ankle boots online I thought they would be a perfect piece for the fall and winter months. Grey usually isn’t my colour as I tend to gravitate more toward browns and blacks but something about this muted light grey stood out to me above the others. They would look so good with black leggings and an oversized sweater as well with a delicate dress. They aren’t as harsh as black which would make them easier to wear with a bunch of different outfits!

 
This fall I am in desperate need of a new leather jacket. The one I had previously been wearing has seen better days. The zipper no longer works and is falling apart at the seams. So when I came across this jacket on the Zara website I knew it would become a staple piece in my wardrobe. It’s a classic shape which is something I look for when buying a piece like this. You want to be able to wear it for more than one season so I like to buy things that will transition well from year to year. I also like the accent zippers on the sides as it adds an edgier touch. Overall, this is a beautiful jacket and now I just have to decide between nude or black.

If you are looking for something a little bit cheaper check out Forever 21 Faux Leather Moto Jacket its only $20.00!

There are so many benefits to owing a good hat as it can really transform your outfit. I have a hat quiet similar to this and I have been wearing it non-stop lately. I don’t wear hats very often but this style of hat is really easy to wear. It is the perfect mix of casual and dressy which makes it easy to wear with a bunch of different outfits. It will keep your head warm as we head into the colder months as well as provide some coverage if you aren’t having the best hair day!

What are you looking forward to this fall?
