Pithy & Profound: Fall Wardrobe Wishlist (If price wasn’t an issue)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at DePauw chapter.

 

1. Although Indiana is heading towards a harsh winter, we still love this fall vest. This J.Crew vest can dress up any casual outfit and we think it is perfect for a DePauw football game. http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/outerwear/PRDOVR~93111/93111.jsp

2. In lieu of the time of year with holiday parties or just wanting to get dressed up for a sophisticated night out on the town with your friends this Kate Spade shirt dress is perfect for every occasion! Wear it with no tights and heels, black patterned tights and boots, or maybe with a blazer–the options are endless. The best part of this dress is that you can find it on Rent the Runway!  http://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/katespadenewyork_dresses/phantomsequinshirtdress

3.  The MacAlister wedge boot at J.Crew is a great way to spice up a casual outfit. On days when you just want to throw on your skinny jeans and a cozy flannel shirt, this MacAlister boot is the perfect way to look edgy rather than lazy.  http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/wedges/PRDOVR~28671/28671.jsp

4.  Speaking of flannel, having a flannel shirt in your wardrobe this winter is a must. Not only is it cute with jeans and boots, but more importantly, it keeps you warm! Functional and fashionable?  Easy decision. You can find flannels in all sorts of stores, but we love the ones that Madewell has to offer this season! http://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/SHIRTSTOPS/otherboyshirts/PRDOVR~52166/52166.jsp

5. There is nothing more perfect to pull your outfit together than this classic Barbour Jacket. It is as easy as throwing on this jacket with a pair of jeans, boots, and a cute scarf and you will look great. This jacket makes all outfits look presentable, it is the key for a fashionable winter. http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=6X9T

6. This fall-inspired, handcrafted tote bag really does the trick to add some color to your wardrobe. It is the perfect size to carry your books around campus or pack an overnight bag. Not only is it extremely fashionable but some of the proceeds benefit a good cause. Talk about a feel good purchase!! http://workshopcoop.bigcartel.com/product/market-tassel-bag-mustard-turquoise

7.  Leggings, leggings, leggings.  Do yourself a favor and buy at least two pair for your closet this winter.  We are raving about Lululemon’s Wunder Under legging.  Yes, they are a bit pricey for a pair of leggings, but they keep everything nice and tight.  Can you really put a price on looking and feeling great in a pair of leggings?!  http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/wunder-unders/Wunder-Under-Pant-0001?cc=0001&skuId=3330562&catId=wunder-unders

8. This may be a little too pricey but we are talking no limits here, right? Michele watches are a simple yet the perfect addition to any outfit. You can chose from a variety of colored bands that fit your style. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michele-deco-diamond-dial-watch-case/3071016?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=michele_’deco’_diamond_dial_watch_case:275731&cm_pla=jewelry:women:watch&cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&mr:ad=13566440033&mr:adType=pla&mr:filter=42353731793&mr:keyword=&mr:match=&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=C859B66B-1968-DF11-9DA0-002219319097&origin=pla

9. The holidays always remind us how crucial it is to own the PERFECT little black dress.  Come November and December, you will be getting invites to Thanksgiving parties, Christmas parties and most importantly New Years Eve parties. Rather than getting different dresses for each occasion, look at this Ella Moss peplum dress. It is sexy and flattering! http://www.shopbop.com/emily-peplum-dress-ella-moss/vp/v=1/845524441956711.htm?folderID=2534374302090413&colorId=12867&extid=affprg-2178999

10. Every girl needs the perfect bag to take along with them for a night on the town. There are a lot of great designers that make small purses like the one we’re about to show you, but may we suggest this little number by Rebecca Minkoff? It’s called the Mini 5-zip and we’re all about it. For the same price, Rebecca Minkoff also makes the Mini MAC bag too. It’s just big enough for all your going out essentials: cell phone, camera, lip gloss and cash. http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=444824002
