Fall Essentials

Every fall as I transition my wardrobe from summer to fall, I assess what I am missing, try to remember what I gave away the previous year, and try to incorporate new staples into this season's closet.

One of the essentials I try to have plenty of are fitted black and gray pants - snug enough for flats, boots and heels but structured enough to wear to the office. JCrew ran an unbelievable Extra 40% off sale today and I broke down on their Pixie pant in both black and charcoal. The reviews on these were unbelievable and they can be dressed up and down which I love.

I mean, can you blame me?

What are some of your go-to items as the seasons change?
