Nothing says fall to me quite like ankle boots and sweaters, so I thought today would be a fitting time to round up the best items to pair with the aforementioned essentials, seeing as the new season is just 11—yep, 11—days away. Think pieces such as layerable dresses and jumpsuits, only the coolest jeans, standout pants, and fun skirts, all of which make for a fall-ready outfit and fashion girl would approve of. Not only that, but they'll save you a lot of time in the getting-ready department now that you have a three-piece look down.
