I don't know how it's been where you live, but I feel like this summer heat has lasted an eternity already, and to say that I'm very much ready for fall is an understatement. Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, with one of the most important ones being the attire. I'll take a cozy sweater over a white linen dress any day.
Given that September is here, we're officially in fall shopping season, so I thought I'd share my wish list. Some of the items I'm considering for the season are needs while others are wants, but all are useful enough to get tons of wear. Because we all love pretty things, I narrowed my shopping list down even further to include only the most eye-pleasing items.
Scroll on to peruse the most useful and pretty items on my fall shopping list. I promise it'll be fun.
