Fed up with the heat wave and ready to begin burning apple cinnamon scented candles and embracing pumpkin-flavored everything? Same, sis.

Alexa may be riddling off near 100-degree temps day after day, and my eyebrows may be gradually sliding off my face during every afternoon walk, but I have blissfully moved onto fall in my mind. I’m ready to risk it all and crank up the A/C in my house so I can layer chunky knit sweaters over cozy leggings to the tune of Taylor Swift’s Folklore album without a care in the world. 

Joking aside, since I’m decidedly over squeezing into my distressed denim shorts and grabbing the same sundresses I’ve worn on repeat this summer, I’ve been looking ahead to fall fashion. I distinctly remember the swift transition of blazing hot summer days to a chilly autumn breeze in years past, and the thought of being unprepared this year for that shift sends a shiver down my spine. Waste the first few weeks of my favorite season waiting around for out-of-stock popular items or risk shipping delays? No thanks. I’m getting a jump on shopping this year so that I can properly prepare for the stylish transition I’ve been anticipating. 

There are certain items that are iconic fall staples like oversized sweaters, denim jeans, and booties that are must-haves for any capsule wardrobe, but I’m also adding a few items to my shopping list that are gearing up to be major trendsetters this season. Without further ado, here are the 11 things I’m buying now to transition into cooler weather.

Closing Thoughts

There you have it – an exclusive peek into my current shopping cart! You may have noticed that I’ve gravitated mainly toward neutrals in this list, and that’s because these pieces will become the foundation for my fall wardrobe. Generally, I like to begin by investing in timeless staples that can easily mix and match together (like a capsule wardrobe), and then I’ll add trendier pieces here and there throughout the cooler months as I see fit.
