There’s something magical about the crispness of October mornings — the kind where your breath fogs up the air just a little, and the leaves crunch ever so perfectly beneath your feet. Fall has always been my favorite season to dress for. The textures get cozier, the colors get warmer, and suddenly, dressing up feels fun again.
I’ve been gravitating toward simple, polished pieces that have that classic look that comes back every year. I love wearing plaid in the fall: a little preppy, a little polished, and totally wearable.
Preppy and Plaid
I’m having a serious love affair with plaid mini skirts this season. There’s just something so effortlessly chic about them — part old-school academia, part Parisian street style. Paired with a fitted black long-sleeve tee, it feels pulled together but never fussy. Add tights if it’s chilly, or bare legs for these sunny fall afternoons that surprise you.
Fall Wardrobe Staple
Okay, hear me out: Adidas sneakers, but make them fashion. These brown and blush toned ones are everything. Sporty enough for errands but cute enough to wear with a skirt (like we did here!), they give this look just the right amount of cool-girl energy. Plus, your feet will thank you when you inevitably decide to walk the long way home under all those golden leaves. Remember when we used to wear uncomfortable shoes every day?
A Little Bit of Sparkle
I always say — never underestimate the power of simple jewelry. A classic tennis bracelet adds that perfect dash of sparkle without overwhelming the look. It feels polished, intentional, and a little luxe, which we love. I got one this year for an anniversary present and now it’s my favorite piece of jewelry to wear.
A Chic Bag to Hold All Our Things
This deep chocolate brown shoulder bag with gold chain details is pure autumn elegance. It’s roomy enough for your book, a lipstick, and snacks, but still structured and sleek. A win-win.
The Finishing Touch
And because no look is complete without a spritz of something special, Miss Dior is the scent I keep coming back to. It’s floral, warm, and has just enough presence to make you feel like the main character in your own story.
So whether you’re heading into the office, off to brunch, or just feeling like dressing up for a random Tuesday (because why not?), this look is a great place to start. Preppy, polished, and made for fall days full of small adventures.
