When It Comes to Fall Shopping, I Swear By These 4 Essentials
Fall shopping can get, well, overwhelming. Every time I open my computer, I'm bombarded with images of all the things: celebrities wearing this; my favorite influencer wearing that; It girls across the globe rocking the hard-to-find designer whatever it may be that I can never seem to afford. While I work in fashion and enjoy being inspired, sometimes I just have to keep it simple.
Each fall, I always let myself invest in the following essentials: a good piece of outerwear, pants that aren't jeans, a sweater (or two… or three), and a trendy pair of boots. This season, I've been finding some cute options at & Other Stories. Not only are the prices pretty accessible, but the quality is next-level. Keep scrolling to see the fall products that, IMO, will never let you down.
