naturally ginger: Essential Fall Wardrobe Items

Here comes Fall! Temps hit below 70...the hat and boots come out. I personally dislike the heat of summer in the city, and even though this summer was quite enjoyable with more mild temperatures, nothing compares to Fall in NYC.

What better to do on a gloomy Saturday than pop over to Riverside Park, before the rain, to take a few shots of one of my favorite summer to fall transitional outfits. Here are some of my suggestions for Essential Fall Wardrobe Items.

Essential Fall Wardrobe Item #1: Plaid Button Up. They are everywhere right now. A plaid button up is great because you can dress it up or dress it down. Look for a shirt made from a thinner material, save the flannel and heavy cotton for Winter. This shirt is from the Savannah, Georgia boutique Red Clover.

Essential Fall Wardrobe Item #2: Felt Hat. From fedora to floppy, everyone loves a hat. I found this Navy dream at a Boutique in Savannah, Georgia called Harper. Stores are filled with them right now, so explore and see what fits you best. If you're feeling adventurous go for a fun color like cranberry or emerald.

Essential Fall Wardrobe Item #3: Leather. My leather staples are a jacket and boots. Both of these items will last you through the Winter season. A leather jacket can be layered with a sweater for more warmth or warn over a tank on the milder days. I prefer leather boots to suede because they hold up against the weather. These pieces were great finds; the jacket is from Tinley Road and the boots from Aldo.

Essential Fall Wardrobe Item #4: Carry-All Tote. This leather backpack/shoulder bag is perfect for those long days out and about in the city. You want something that will hold all your stuff. This beauty is from Dolce Vita Handbags. I'm super excited about a project I've been doing with them. More posts to come in October. Make sure you check out my Instagram.
