Must have accessories for fall. There are certain items that make a wardrobe complete. It’s these pieces that have the uncanny ability to pull together or completely transform a look. They are timeless, classic and versatile. I’m sure many of us have a little black dress hanging in our closets, but if you are like me, pulling it out for the umpteenth time can get a little tiring.
MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES FOR FALL
Statement jewelry. Everyone should have a great necklace. Pick a classic shape and perhaps one with colour. A simple sheath dress will be completely transformed. Need to dress up a simple tee? No problem, a necklace is all you need. The other piece I would add to this category is a fun brooch. It might not be for everyone but simply adding a brooch to a coat, scarf or hat can quickly make a boring outfit more interesting.
Scarves. I’m a huge fan of a patterned scarf. How about a leopard or geometric print? Colour or black and white, it doesn’t really matter. A scarf adds a little flourish that looks great in the fall. Plus it does double duty by keeping you warm. Take a classic black trench or moto jacket, add a statement scarf and volia you are ready to go!
Flats. Heels aren’t always the ideal shoe for running around. I believe that a classic flat belongs in every woman’s wardrobe. Sure, black is always appropriate, but how about picking a bold colour like red, blue or green? A tan pencil skirt with a pair of deep blue flats will always be a showstopper.
Sunnies. This is one of my favourite accessories. Not only are they practical, but a dramatic pair of sunnies will complete any outfit and they go with everything you own.
Oversized watch. In the summer I tend to shy away from watches as they feel too heavy in the heat, but as my work schedule ramps up, so does my need to wear a watch. Doubling as a piece of jewelry, a watch looks great on its own or stacked with some bracelets.
Everyday bag. Okay, this is a little bit of a cheat as most of us can’t get enough bags, but a beautiful everyday bag is definitely a must have item. In either a black, brown or tan, this piece becomes your calling card and is a puzzle piece to completing your image.
So once again, it’s time to take inventory of what you have in your wardrobe. Simply adding or exchanging a few pieces will give you that effortless style in no time!

Great post! As the weather becomes colder I love to start taking out all my scarves. They go with everything. Now this is going to sound a little crazy, but when I am putting a great Fall or Winter outfit together (actually no, I do this year round) I always go for three things: fur, leather and glitter. Fur (or faux fur)- could be a fur vest or fur scarf, or just a bit of fur trimming around a jacket or on some boots. Or swap fur for shearling or something similar. Leather- piping on coats, bags, leggings, shoes, whatever works. Glitter- not like little kid craft time glitter. But shiny/sparkly jewelry, sequence embroidery on something, whatever. The three elements don’t have to be so obvious but I find that when combined a nice play on texture is created. Example: Jeans and white tee combo. Leather pumps and leather bag. Shearling jacket or fur vest, amazing statement necklace. Done done and done.
Crap I didn’t mean to write an essay. The point is I really like this post, and Fall accessories. Talk soon! xoxo
Are you kidding? I love your comments, this is great. I also love that you put your outfits around three very specific things, you need to write a whole post about this!

I wish I could wear an oversized watch but they just never seem to fit my bony wrist.
I have the same issue with watches, however I find that companies are now coming out with slightly smaller versions of the same “huge” watches and they work really well.

Smart advice. Accessories are the building blocks of style. They add panache and interest to our outfits. Every one you list does magic.
Exactly! That’s why I like to keep my outfits simple and invest a little bit more in great and classic accessories.
