Before you go back to school shopping…

you should know what you’re getting yourself into. I always make a list of things I want to get before I go back to school shopping. It makes it easier and you won’t over buy stuff you don’t really need. Here are 6 things I think are necessary for transitioning summer into fall clothes. (All pictures are from Pintrest)

Chambray Top.

Chambray tops are by far the best tops to own. Why? They can be worn in several different ways dresses, cover ups, regular top, crop top, jacket, or tied around the waist. When it starts getting colder in the fall you’ll be thankful you have an extra layer.

Army Green Pants.

Okay, so I’ve actually been searching for army green pants since last year. I finally found them this summer (at Charlotte Russe) and have never been so excited. They go so well with stripes, plaid, white, brown, orange, maroon, the list goes on and on. I actually had at least 15+ pictures to choose from, but here are my favorite three outfits.

Maroon Pants.

Along with army green pants, maroon pants are perfect for fall. I love mixing them with army green and patterns. I have the American Eagle maroon leggings and they’re by far the comfiest colored pants I own.

Military Vest/Jacket.

The trend continues and I’m loving it. I find these vests make dressy dresses look more casual and effortless. I had to include six pictures because I just loved these outfits so much!

Shift dress.

They’re super easy to style and you can make a million different outfits with them by just adding different shirts. You can tie one around your waist, tie up a shirt, belt a shirt, the list goes on and on. I’ll be bringing a few of these to Italy with me and you can see how many different outfits you can make with just one simple dress. (Hint: Spaghetti strap dresses are easier to make more outfits around because you can add more layers to them).

A Pair of Good Jeans.

Straight, boyfriend, relaxed, flair, high-waisted, low rise, jeggings, the list goes on and on. It doesn’t matter which pair of jeans you want to rock this season, but invest in a pair that won’t fade over the years. Personally, my favorite fit is American Eagle because they fit like a glove and last a life time. Seriously though, I’ve had jeans from American Eagle since 8th grade.

There may be other things you want to get to take your outfits to the next level like loud shoes, awesome necklaces, funky hats, but these are just the some of essentials I think every girl kind of needs in her wardrobe.
