Bookworm Cottage Style

Most of the fall pieces I’m coveting are basics – dark denim, a brown leather belt, suede flats and some fresh cardigans. I am especially drawn to all things chocolate brown.

1. Quince 100% Organic Cotton Cropped Cardigan in Heather Brown ($50) // Nearly all of my cardigans are 10-15 years old at this point, when styles were slimmer. My closet is in need of some boxy cardigans, and I adore the look of this one.
2. J. McLaughlin Inez Cardigan in Herringbone Jacquard ($298) // This sweater is expensive but I keep going back to it. Tres chic!
3. GAP Plaid Barn Jacket ($188) // The plaid print gives a casual barn coat a slightly more preppy vibe that is more aligned with my style.
4. J. Crew 2025 Rollneck Sweater in Pink Brown Stripe ($118) // This J. Crew Rollneck sweater (in green) was one of my most-worn items of clothing last year, so I’d love to pick it up in another color, like this pretty pink and brown number.
5. Anthropologie Adjustable Ring Belt in Brown ($78) // Still crushing on this belt!
6. Everlane Way High Jean 2.0 in Dark Indigo ($148) // My Everlane cheeky straight jeans are my favorite jeans (I have 3 pairs in 3 different washes) so I’d love to give this darker wash, slightly wider Everlane silhouette a try.
7. Pomander Place Mabel Maxi Dress in Blue Ikat ($158) // This breezy dress would work for both summer and fall.
8. Margaux The Fonteyn Flats in Espresso Suede ($315) // These shoes are expensive but they look so incredibly practical! I wear my woven Margauxs nonstop during the summer, and this pair looks like the perfect version for autumn.
9. Dazzle Dry in XOXO ($22) // I am a Dazzle Dry loyalist, and ballet pinks play all year round.
10. Dazzle Dry in Rum Raisin ($22) // When I see a pretty Dazzle Dry manicure I screenshot and save the color. This autumn hue was one of my most recent saves.
11. Boden Chelsea Wellie Boot in Leopard ($99) // Leopard is big this fall, and these rain boots are a fun take on the trend.
