Top Five Must Haves For Fall 2012

Fall 2012

How quickly this year has flown by. At least, the summer has disappeared remarkably fast. Admittedly, this is hardly upsetting since the only thing I enjoy about the summer season is how lovely the gardens grow. But not this summer, we had so little rain, everything was dried up and sad looking. Now autumn, that is my favourite season. Always has been, always will be.

Now it’s mid September, the nights are finally cool, even if the days are still questionably warm for my liking. Fall is when I become obsessed again with fashion, with makeup, with hair. An unbridled urge to destroy my credit card on unholy numbers of boots, shoes, heels and discounted summer sandals nearly brings me to my knees. Every. Single. Year. And denim? What is it about fall that triggers this unerring need to acquire one or five new pairs of jeans? Am I somehow cleansing myself of the past year? As if whatever new jeans I set my sights on somehow set the scene for the year to come? I’m not satisfied until I appease these urges. So what is it to be this year? While perhaps a tad late to the trend, I’ve just acquired a sleek pair of cherry red Celebrity Pink skinny jeans. They’re pretty freaking adorable, and are just waiting impatiently to be paired with my adorable tuxedo jacket I procured earlier in March. Thinking on it long and hard, I believe I can narrow down my fall needs to this list:

Top Five Must Haves For Fall 2012

1.       Wedge booties in either black or chocolate suede (they just look so adorable with skinnies.)

2.       Dark nail polishes in burgundy, navy, espresso, or mahogany (I can’t wait to retire the summer neons for more serious tones.)

3.       One or two Equipment shirts in either solid or patterned fabric (I’m feeling reds, purples, liberty prints or perhaps a bird theme.)

4.       Boot socks (I love my all of my boots and I’m loving this new boot sock trend to freshen up their look! Perhaps cables, argyle or fairisle.)

5.       A tartan blazer (something loud and lively to pair with jeans and a plain white tee.)

And purses! I’d almost forgotten my best friends in the world! All signs are pointing a cool oversized satchel (think British schoolbook bag. Probably in tan. Distressed tan would be perfect!) Now, if I’m able to obtain this short list, in addition for a few new pairs of skinnies, then I will be a happy Renegade! Now where did I leave that Visa card...?
