"Layers, layers, layers, leather jacket, scarf, boots, bye."
Hi lovers,
I'm sad to say goodbye to Summer but I am really excited for Fall Fashion. Everything is bigger and better this season and I'm not just talking about the September Issues. (#bibles)
Anyways, keeping in mind that some of us girlworld babes are on a budget, here's just a few items that are worth investing in this season, plus a few pieces that you can continue wearing from your Summer closet. Don't pack it all away so fast! Hear me out first, k?
Here's what you need for Fall 2014:
1. Leather/pleather Jacket - duh, it's a classic, so there's really no explanation needed.
The only note I will add is that it's better to buy one that is a little bigger/looser than you think you need. Chances are you'll want to layer it with a chunky sweater or a hoodie (#chinoryan The OC style) so trust me on this one. Don't waltz into Zara in a cute white t shirt and buy a jacket that fits perfectly over it. Leave a little wiggle room so that you can wear it as late into those cold Fall days as possible. You'll live in it. I swear.

2. Printed leggings (I don't care what the print is, have fun!)

3. Ankle booties (leather, suede, snakeskin...etc) They will become your GO TO's and you know what? I love them so much I don't even want to wear such high heels all the time. Do you believe? #newwoman

4. Chunky sweaters in creams and light colors (I'm telling you they are comfier when they are in light colors) Do yourself a favor and get a pastel colored sweater. You will feel cheery on those cold and dark days, you'll see!

5. High waisted skirt (get black, goes with everything! and you can dress it up or down)
6. Suede pointy toe heels (Manolo Blahnik is my inspiration this season) Get this version for less!
7. Slim fitting leather/pleather/vegan pants. (So flattering on everyone - if they fit right) Check these out.
8. Black tights (opaque, sheer, whatever you like) You will need these puppies when you want to wear a dress that isn't quite wintery-enough and you need to make sure you don't freeze your buns off.
9. Anything with tassels. Jewlery, bags, tops, I don't care - I love them and you will too!
Get this necklace from FTO!
BONUS*** HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN KEEP from your summer wardrobe:
Neons
Nothing is more fun than a hot pink tank top layered under a cozy caridgan topped with a leather jacket. You know what's also great? A neon sweater or a bright colored sweatshirt.
Boyfriend jeans/ripped jeans/colored jeans
Don't worry you won't get frost bite. A few holes never hurt anyone and great jeans are great jeans. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A cool pair of boots will make any pair of jeans ready for Fall. P.S. I don't believe in "no white after labor day." Wear what you love and don't follow the rules. White jeans paired with boots and a dark sweater is totally ok in my books.
Cotton Dresses
Add a pair of tights, a pair of boots, a sweater, a scarf and a leather jacket and you're gold. Don't worry if the dress is light. A thick pair of tights and a long cardigan will warm you up. If not, drink tea. It helps.
Can't wait to see what you #fab babes put together! Don't forget to hashtag #girlworldmtl and #chicforcheap so we can see your #ootd!!
XOXO
