31 Fall Fashion and Beauty Items I'm Choosing Over My Bills (Just Kidding… Sort of)
Every September, I find myself believing that my fall wardrobe is complete—until I come across the latest arrivals on my favorite websites and I instantly start to have doubts. Suddenly, my cardigans don’t seem as cozy, my bags appear too summery, and my makeup could definitely benefit from a seasonal refresh. This year, the excitement of my favorite season has me bookmarking numerous "just in case" items. For the past few weeks, I’ve been building this list of must-have items. Whenever something truly catches my eye, I pause my scrolling and literally message it to myself to look back at later. Today, I’m sharing this private internal dialogue with all of you. I've been quite financially responsible recently, but that changes today. These 31 fashion and beauty items are heading into my cart—because while my bills matter, looking seasonally chic is a necessity.
