It might still be 80 degrees here in L.A., but my mindset is eagerly shifting to fall, which is my favorite season for dressing. When else can I sport silk boxer shorts, a cozy cashmere sweater, a suede jacket, and loafers in pure sartorial harmony? I've already started adding specific styles to my cart—a mix of elevated basics and trend-forward styles that when mixed and matched or worn with other items in my closet will make for a great fall outfit. Since I'm on a budget this season I'm keeping all my picks under the $150 mark.
Keep scrolling to take a peek at my fall shopping list from Madewell, J.Crew, and Nordstrom as I highlight some of the under $150 finds that will elevate your wardrobe this fall.
