Fall Outfit Inspiration

Sometimes all it takes is a purse or a pair of killer boots to bring together an entire outfit, Invaluable came to me with a challenge: pick a ring that speaks to you on the site and show us how you'd style it. I found a ring that was delicate and feminine yet structured and immediately I envisioned the perfect look to showcase. The ring, a 14K rose gold and diamond ring has the ability to stand on its own so I recommend adding a floppy hat and the fringe bag to make this the perfect Autumn look. 

The Look:

Joni Fringe Purse, Michael Kors, £480 ● Rose Gold and Diamond Ring ● Dark Red Oversized Fedora, River Island, £28 ● Faux Leather Knee Patch Trousers, Zara, £30 ●  Suede-over-the-knee Boots, Topshop Unique, £195 ● Contrast Collar Blouse with Bow, Zara, £26 ● Ice Breaker Faux Fur Vest, Unreal Fur, £78 

Accessories: Chain Reaction

Chunky knits and chains are as crucial to fall as Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes and although you can rock chains all year round, you have to admit that they look best with dark colours and on top of layers.

Love it or Leave It: Utilitarian Boots

Left, Left, Right, Left... Repeat...

Utilitarian is a look synonymous with fall and although a chic blazer is always able to give you an edge these boots are able to stand out without upstaging your entire outfit. The boots were chosen as an essential autumn pick by the girls at WhoWhatWear and they suggest wearing them with your favorite knit layers. The high heel takes lace up combat boots to new heights so you can step out in style with a look that is truly effortless.

Love it or Leave It: Top Gun Inspired Shearling Jackets

Top Gun, the movie that put Tom Cruise on the map also established a piece of outerwear that constantly gets reinvented in the North American fall wardrobe: the shearling jacket.

According to the brilliant writers at WhoWhatWear, the shearling jacket is here to replace the army jacket and with the comfy trim comes a hefty price tag. Ranging anywhere from $100-$2000 its safe to say you can find a piece that will fit your budget, no matter what it is.

The jacket is definitely light enough for the fall weather and the trim is both functional and sets the coat apart from leather bombers, the only reason why it doesn't make it as a "fall basic" is the fact its cropped. Finding the perfect length is essential to any body type so its important to make sure the jacket both looks and feels right.
