Well, we've done it! We've made it to the end of September so let's all just take a moment to give ourselves one big hurrah, a congratulations for making it another month.
1. Sweaters
I think one of man's greatest inventions is easily the oversized sweater because there is [nothinmuch on this earth more satisfying than wearing a large sweater when it starts to get chilly. I own too many sweaters and from October through March I am constantly re-wearing them in an endless cycle that I think is the most comfortable thing in the world and my friends probably get easily bored with. Sweaters are so comfortable and spending good money on a good sweater can never go wrong. One of the most expensive clothes items I ever bought with my own money so far (not that that's saying much - I tend to be very cheap) was a sweater from a small shop in New York almost a year ago and to this date it remains probably my favourite clothes item of all time though that might be now topped by the grey American Eagle swayed I got over the summer. Yeah, I might need to dedicate an entire blog post to that in the future - I love it that much. I get really excited about sweaters and there is literally nothing that puts a bigger strain on my wallet than walking into stores, seeing the mass collections of fall sweaters, and wanting them all. It's seriously a disease. But I think that October is one month when the weather starts getting such that sweaters start becoming more and more acceptable - and comfortable with the cooler weather! I recommending buying so many big sweaters because there are other things that come with big sweaters....chunky necklaces!
2. Jewelry
Jewelry is so much fun to fool around with all year round but it is especially fun when the sweaters come out and longer and heavier chains become more acceptable. I love big statement necklaces and chunkier and longer chains with more high-necked sweaters and button down shirts that become so much more acceptable and trendy as the weather gets colder. I think - as shown in the picture - that easy bracelets of cool materials like leather or rope that could look very urban or even summery but still in neutral, possibly darker colours so that they go with your entire fall wardrobe. I think bracelets are really versatile and super easy to use for all outfits but especially the kind of bracelet in this collection and with this colour. It's especially beautiful in the fall but they can also work for most other seasons so putting down good money for a nice and versatile bracelet stack would definitely be an great way to spend your money.

3. Boots
I know that in my recent September Favourites post (x) I talked about how much I love my Keds - but I may have misled you. Keds are not my favourite shoes, my favourite shoes are boots. Hands down, I just love the comfiness of boots and how cute they look with any outfit whether you decide to go with leggings or jeans. Boots are also really great for walking around the city or out in the country or just wherever - one of the main reasons I have boots down as a travel staple. It is so important to me to always have a pair of boots with me if I'm going anywhere - very versatile and easy to look good! And if you like black boots than I doubt we would get along very well because I am 100% a brown boots kind of girl.
3. Tans, browns, oranges, and maroons
I know, I know, totally cliché to talk about the wonderful fall colours but I just couldn't help it. I won't spend too much time on why I love these colours so much because - well, it's obvious! They just remind me so much of colder weather and all the wonderful things that come with it such as - obviously - all the wonderful and comfy clothes.
4. Floppy hats
Normally, these don't tend to look good on me since I play with my hair styles so much throughout the day and don't usually have a reason to keep hats on all day. However, there is nothing that says "trendy fall" like any kind of beanie or hat and floppy hats in a maroon shade are so goddamn cute to me. I just wish I could make it work but alas I don't think I am destined to ever be best friends with this beautiful fashion statement. However, if you can pull this off then I am extremely jealous. But also, wear it during fall as much as you can because seriously it is just so cute if you can wear it properly (oh gods above why did you give me hair I am never happy with??).

5. Berry lips
BEST PART OF FALL hands down. Being able to break out the darker lipsticks, lip glosses, and rouging in your lips as much as you want to - it's a great feeling. I love how the darker colours come out in this season and people are totally fine with putting on darker coloured lipsticks and whatnot because honestly it just looks so chic and reminds me constantly of fall. Best season - best colours.
Basically, to wrap up this long blog post - I'm really, really excited for October. I hope you are too!
Have a Brettastic day!
