Read This Before You Start Shopping For Fall
Every year, the minute September rolls around, I always set some time aside to work on my closet. It’s a practice I think we should all consider; a closet clean-out that will help you feel ready for the season ahead. It’s truly one of the best things you can do for yourself, because it allows you to see what might be missing from your wardrobe. Then, it’s much easier to start making a list of what you need. I recommend this to everyone, since this edit sets the tone for the whole season.
Today’s post is packed with some of my best recent tips to help you start thinking about your fall wardrobe. There’s everything from the loafers everyone is wearing right now to five easy outfit uniforms worth copying. Plus, there are new finds I think you’ll love.

I’m heading to NYC next week, so I’ve been going through several rounds of buying and returning. Here are some brand new things I’m excited about, and ones I highly recommend. Just bought this Staud black cotton dress and wore it last week to a business meeting in Dallas. I got many compliments! This Rails plaid jacket is super chic, and I plan on wearing it on the airplane with these navy Lodge pants. And, these new Frame jeans are very slimming — and if you use my discount code SUSIE15, you’ll get 15% off any purchase you make. Also bought this pretty new blouse that looks really nice with the Frame jeans.

A few of these things might surprise you! Many of us have these exact style and beauty finds, and it’s ok if you still love them. For example, the Donna Karan deodorant started giving me a headache, so I swapped it for another one. I also stopped wearing uncomfortable thong panties and tight leggings. A few of these were harder to let go of than others … but the second I made the switch, I instantly felt more comfortable, more youthful, and more confident. I know purchasing online is tricky, and relying on reviews can be hit or miss. Hopefully this post will give you some new ideas you might be excited to try!

Once the weather changes and sandal season is over, the easiest shoe to start wearing is a cool, classic loafer. It’s the perfect shoe to transition with when we’re not quite ready for boots. Here are some that I highly recommend.
1 – Classic black slim loafers – Love this classic Vince pair and these new ones from Favorite Daughter
2 – YSL-inspired ruched loafers – Saw this pair at Zara and they are only $60! This mule style from Vince is another great option
3 – Shades of brown suede loafers – Spotted this pair from Veronica Beard and these chocolate brown ones from Rag & Bone
4 – Snake or leopard loafers – these from J.Crew and this Rag & Bone pair
5 – Soft white and ivory loafers – Love this loafer from Black Suede Studio and these soft white ones
