Six Early Fall Essentials

It's such a weird feeling to already write about fall in late July. Nevertheless, I think now is actually a great time to start browsing for fall items, since many brands have just released their new arrivals and their stock is full. Today, I've scoured the Internet for cute fall releases and have put together a little collection of what's on my radar. 

These pieces are perfect for early fall--that period when it's too chilly to wear your floral strapless summer favorites, but still too balmy to start reaching for the chunky sweaters. 

one//I think it's so important to have some sundresses in your early fall wardrobe. They always seem to come in handy on the days when it's still sunny, and are great for when you want to throw on something simple yet put together. One of my favorite fall fabrics is chambray, and this dress is exactly what I envision when I think of a fall day dress. Polished, easy to wear, and flattering.

two//Houndstooth is such a versatile fall print, and this fun skirt could be styled in so many creative ways. 

three//The perfect fall shoes depend a little but on where you live, but if you experience a lot of rain as I do, a pair of short rain boots are so necessary. I have a similar pair and get so much use out of them. Plus, the short silhouette never looks clunky and therefore can match a ton of outfits. The little bow on this pair is such a cute detail, and they come in multiple colors.

four//Shorts are still something I wear as often as I can in September, but I think it's necessary to change up the print a little when summer ends. The scallop eyelet hem rattan belt on these give them a light, airy look, but the dark color makes them perfect for the fall shorts season. 

five//This is my favorite color to wear during fall! Such a rich, flattering pumpkin shade. I'm obsessed with this romper--it's just the right amount of fabric for fall, and, as I'm sure you expect, I adore the side bow. 

six//Ever year, my favorite everyday fall shoes are always a pair of easy sneakers with some fun accent. These leopard print espadrille sneakers are exactly that! They're not too heavy, add a fun statement to any outfit, and are still quite casual. 

I hope you enjoyed my little take on an early fall capsule wardrobe! Let me know what you think, and if you'll be wearing anything similar in the coming months.
