Necessities For This Season (Part 1 of many...)

A beret. Seriously. How cute is this? It adds a nice Parisian touch to anything you wear it with, and it's comfy cozy. Forever 21 has some nice ones, although I'm skeptical of the quality, so this one is from
Fun patterned tights. These are so cute when they're paired with skirts or long tunics. You can wear them with some flats or boots too, and it's perfect for fall! American Eagle has a huge selection of tights (this pair is from there for about $12.50).
A pea coat. They're absolutely gorgeous, and look really nice paired with some scarves. This is the one outerwear essential for this season, so make sure that you have at least one! I have one from Macy's that I got for about $40 (super steal!), but this one is from American Eagle, and is on sale for $99.95.

A chunky knit sweater. You can wear this with *so* many things, it's not even funny. They're cute and comfy, and look great. This particular one has a cowl neck, which is a big trend this season. You can pair it with long necklaces, jeans, maybe even a skirt...like I said, anything! This particular one is from American Eagle and is $49.50.
