Per requests of sharing what to buy for fall, I’ve rounded up some of this season’s biggest ‘It’ items – including standouts in the designer categories and options for each at a fraction of the cost. Some of these are truly so hard to spot the difference. I prefer to invest in a few key, worthwhile pieces (ie. jacket, boots, bag) but with others (ie. my leather shorts, bucket hat) you can achieve the same look and stretch your shopping budget much further.
