It Finally Dropped Below 70° in L.A.—Time to Unleash My Long-Awaited Fall Wardrobe
While fall technically started in September, anyone who lives in L.A. knows the real seasonal shift doesn’t happen until the temps finally drop in mid-October. I spent the past month pretending it was fall by drinking pumpkin lattes, lighting seasonal candles, and daydreaming about wearing layers—all of course while it was indeed still 85°. Now that it’s finally cooled down, I can stop fantasizing about fall fashion and actually start wearing it. Out come my long-awaited knee-high boots, slouchy rugby sweaters, rich brown tones, and favorite worn-in denim. After spending way too much time scrolling for the best fall finds, I figured it’s only fair to share my favorites with you—from the perfect Free People mini skirt that screams fall to classic Levi’s to must-have bags from Charles & Keith.
Apparel
We The Free
Mille-Fleurs Plaid Micro Skirt in Ivory Combo
Have you seen a more perfect fall mini skirt? This one has built-in shorts underneath.

Avalon Cotton-Linen Sweater Pants in Black
These are seriously the most comfortable pants. If I’m running errands or working from home, you’ll likely find me in these.

If I could only wear one top this fall, it would be this infamous pick.

High-Waisted SoSoft Sweater Pants in Driftwood Heather
Pair this with the matching SoSoft Cropped Polo Sweater, a slicked-back bun, and some gold hoops for the ultimate off-duty fall look.

Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan in Cherry
My go-to fall outfit is a crisp white tee, my favorite lived-in denim, and a cardigan to tie the whole look together. This cherry-red one is the pop of color my fall outfits need.

Iconic Milano Down Vest in Black
When it’s too chilly to skip a layer but not quite cold enough to wear a full-on puffer, this is the happy medium.

I think I’ve worn these jeans at least 50 times, and I keep going back to them. They’re just too good.

Another style from the Valentino Garavani and Vans collection. I’m loving the pink accents.
