Can y'all believe it is September already?  This month is always my favorite.  I tend to look at September as the start to a new "year" rather than January for some reason.  Maybe its because school starts then or maybe its because my birthday is this month, starting an actual new year for me.  September is also a huge month for fashion which I l o v e. This time of year gets me really excited to start scrolling around my favorite retailers sites, flip through style magazines, and see what new fall trends are at my top stores.  It's easy to want to buy the trendiest fall pieces but this year I'm really trying to stick to the basics. 

When I think of fall basics, I think of a good pair of riding boots, some quality dark wash jeans, and some comfy weekend must-have v-neck tees. I've rounded up some casual favorites above that I've had my eye on for a while.  With these types of staples, I'm hoping to not buy so much but rather invest in basics that will last a long time and will get a ton of use. You can't go wrong with a closet stocked with tees and denim.
