so, it’s my favorite time of the year -> FALL! although this season may not last very long in chicago we need to take advantage of it while we can and all of these pieces will easily transition into winter. these five pieces are must have’s and can be found at luxe or low price points depending on if you want to keep these in your wardrobe for the long haul or think you’ll ditch them by next season. you can click the images above to purchase those exact pieces through polyvore or i’ll break down luxe and low price points for each piece below…
