With fall right around the corner, I’m starting to think about what pieces I want to add to my wardrobe. I’m usually all about budget friendly pieces, but every once and awhile I find an accessory that’s worth splurging on. Investing in a nice pair of sunglasses is typically at the top of my list. I have plenty of inexpensive pairs, but there’s something about a nice pair of designer sunglasses that I have a hard time saying no to. Sunglasses are my #1 accessory, no matter what season it is. I even wrote about how to find your signature pair of sunglasses a few weeks ago because I love them so much. When it comes to sunglasses, I definitely think they’re worth spending a little extra on to ensure a flattering fit.
Ankle boots are most definitely a fall staple. As far as booties go, I honestly think you can find a great pair no matter what your budget is. You can find a great pair of ankle boots from Target for under $35, or spend a little more for a more classic pair. I usually have really good luck finding reasonably priced boots from online boutiques, like this gray pair. I recently shared my new favorite pair of peep toe booties, and love the idea of pairing them with just about anything for fall. I have worn them with both jeans and dresses, and know the styling possibilities are endless.
A structured bag is another fall essential, and one that you will want to invest in. I have plenty of inexpensive handbags, but often find them to be too trendy. I always find myself gravitating toward my investment pieces. Side note: what I consider to be an investment piece does not mean a $1000+ bag, and still tends to be more budget friendly. My Rebecca Minkoff MAB Tote is one that I have had for a few years, and still absolutely adore. P.S. If you’re a mama, please do yourself a favor and invest in a Fawn Design bag! I finally did and it is 100% worth it.
Great jewelry for fall is another accessory that you can find no matter what your price point is. I typically don’t recommend spending a lot on jewelry, unless it’s a personalized piece. If you’re anything like me, you wear a piece for a season and then move on to the next. The Sugarfix by Baublebar line at Target is perfect for affordable and on trend pieces. If you do want to spend a little more to find the perfect statement necklace or layering piece, Baublebar is a great alternative! I recently shared one of my favorite necklaces from Baublebar in my 10 pieces to buy now for fall post.

Name the movie that I am referencing in my title today and we will be BFF’s forever. Once September hits in Albuquerque, the temperatures can be all over the place. One day it’s almost 100 and the next it’s down to the low 80’s. I always feel like I’m trying to make fall happen when I get dressed, but sometimes it’s impossible. Last year I shared a post about 
As much as it saddens me to say, the end of summer is near. I can’t even believe that today is the first day of September! People always say that when you have children time seems to go by even faster than it did before, and trust me, it totally does! I am about as #basic as they come, and love anything to do with fall. It is a little much when stores already have Halloween decorations out in the middle of August, and you know the PSL will be coming out any day now. It usually feels more like summer in Albuquerque through September than it does fall, so I’m always looking for pieces to wear during the transition time.
When I get dressed every day, almost every single outfit can be completed by a few basic accessories. I love the occasional statement piece, but generally I am pretty minimal when it comes to accessories. I’m a sucker for personalized jewelry, fun statement sunglasses, and a classic bag! By keeping my accessory options limited, it make putting the finishing touches on an outfit a lot easier. This is even more true since becoming a mom! I don’t usually have the time to try on necklace after necklace to see what will work best. Today I am sharing my 5 basic accessories that every woman needs to complete an outfit.
Alright my fellow tall ladies, this maxi dress is for you! I kind of
