Ahh…can you feel that in the air?! Fall is officially here, people. Which means I haven’t been this excited about getting dressed since…well, last fall. I love all of it: the wide-leg denim, the cute jackets, the moto boots, all of the chocolate browns. Getting dressed in the morning means considering that breeze in the air that just might require a jacket at some point, and a quick latte pitstop while I’m at it. But more than likely, my daily looks have all been starting with a graphic tee.

I have realized that while graphic tees are a staple of my summer wardrobe, I am still relying on them heavily right now because they are the easiest piece to layer and I already have a couple options I love.

So, this fall, I’m leaving my cute tees out and putting them to work.

As luck would have it, the two tees I’ve been wearing lately: Polo Ralph Lauren’s Cotton Graphic Tee and Vinyl Icons Go Sports Stripe Tee have been fitting in with all of the bottoms I’ve been wearing, like an asymmetrical, lace-hem plaid skirt and moto boots, chocolate brown satin pants and Samba Janes, and Ruti On the Loose Long Pants. Outfits that range from dinner date-night-approved to afternoon errand runs and beyond, below.

My Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Jersey Crewneck Tee is unfortunately low-stock at Ralph Lauren but hopefully it will be restocked soon. Until then, here are some more vintage, varsity-inspired football tees I’m loving at the moment.

An oversized varsity tee with a plaid, asymmetrical lace-hem skirt and a pair of moto boots shouldn’t work together, but it does! I’m glad I thought to try this skirt with this tee because it ended up being one of my new favorite outfit combos. This Polo tee is made from 100% cotton and has a heavyweight feel to it. A size medium has a 25.5″ body length and a 28.25″ sleeve length. It’s super comfy and feels like a high-quality vintage tee.

Be prepared to see a lot more of this Ruti Denim Jacket 2.0 in this post and beyond because it’s my go-to denim jacket at the moment. It has the perfect oversized, slouchy, yet cropped fit and a hood! It also comes in a darker shade of denim, too.

I am so happy with these pants. I don’t know what took me so long to add in a pair of satin pants to my weekly outfit rotation. They are so comfortable! They are basically socially approved pajama pants! The chocolate shade is rich, they look and feel way more expensive than they are, and the fabric is a nice, high-quality medium weight that pairs well with the casual vibe of my Ruti Denim Jacket.

I already knew I loved these AGOLDE Ren Jeans because I tried them on at EVEREVE last month in a lighter shade and immediately loved them. So as soon as I saw they came in a chocolate brown, I knew I needed them. And they definitely did not disappoint! These jeans are so flattering, and the chocolate brown color is a rich, almost-burgundy-ish shade that fits in perfectly with all my other chocolate brown favorites.

These jeans look so cute paired with pretty much every denim jacket I own as well as my chocolate brown Samba Janes and my leopard print mesh flats.

Yup, I’m still wearing my Ruti On the Loose Work Pants (I have the longer inseam and still loving them). They are just so dang comfortable that they are hard to beat, and as you can imagine, they easily work with a graphic tee and leopard print flats.

This is my “I dressed in 10 minutes and it shows, but in a good way” outfit. A striped Go Sports! tee, one of my most-worn pairs of wide-leg jeans, and the Samba Janes make it feel like I’m dressed for errands, on purpose.

Adding this olive Boden chore jacket makes the whole thing feel a little more put together than it is! How stunning is the back of this jacket?? And it’s on sale right now, too!

This Open Edit skirt ended up being one of my most-worn additions to my closet this month! I love the rich burgundy color and I have decided to just wear my more dressier pieces whenever I feel like it, to the coffee shop or lunch out on a random weekday because I don’t know what special event I am saving them for anyways!

As a Millennial, it is deeply uncomfortable to leave my t-shirt untucked. It just feels so wrong for some reason, but I am working on it.

Be prepared to see more of these pants here on the blog. I was on the waitlist for almost two months and finally got them in. I thought they would be great for the upcoming holiday season, but I’ve decided not to wait to wear them out, and they’re shockingly versatile! So far they go with a striped rugby sweater from Quince, brown boyfriend sweaters, and a chunky-knit blue cardigan, too! I am in between a size small and medium (usually a size 27 in jeans) and I sized up to a medium and am glad I did.

Chocolate brown + chartreuse! It’s another fun outfit combo I am trying to work into my weekly wardrobe, just to break things up, a lil!

Still liking, but not loving these barrel leg faux leather pants from Free People. I’ve been waiting and hoping for the faux-leather to soften up and break in, but they still feel a bit plastic-y. It does help that they go with everything.
