Fall Trifecta

The trendiest must-have pieces for fall are simple and super easy to incorporate into any wardrobe...

1. The wedge sneaker - any color, any brand. I tend to gear more towards solid colors when it comes to wedge sneakers, but there are many fabulous styles in a wide assortment of colors and patterns. And promise, wedge sneakers go with almost everything! 

2. The vest - denim, leather, fur, checkered...the possibilities are endless! Just throw on a vest over any item in your closet to instantly amp up your edge factor and create a fall look that's both trendy and warm. 

3. The patterned dress - patterns are in this fall and what better way to showoff your love of all things bold than to slip into an attention-grabbing frock?

Love the understated studs on this vest - they add interest and edgy glamour! 

Don't forget the arm candy! Bangles and spikes are extremely popular this season. And contrary to popular belief, mixing metals is perfectly acceptable.

Create your own perfect autumn look by incorporating any of these three power pieces into your fall style. Layer them all together like I did or wear them separately to create a statement all your own. 

Fall is all about layers and experimentation so go buy that leather studded vest that you've had your eye on all summer - I did!
