31 Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks I'm Prioritizing Over My Bills (Kidding… Kind Of)

Every September, I convince myself that my fall wardrobe is complete—until I see the new arrivals on some of my favorite websites and I immediately begin to question everything. Suddenly, the cardigans I own don’t feel quite as cozy, my bags seem too summery, and my makeup could really use a moody seasonal refresh. This year, the anticipation of my favorite time of year has me bookmarking a lot of “just in case” items.

For the past few weeks, I've been cultivating this list of items that are top-of-mind. Every time I see something that really catches my eye, I stop scrolling and literally message it to myself to revisit later. Today is the day that I share the private internal conversation with you all. I've been pretty financially responsible lately, but that all changes today. These 31 fashion and beauty pieces are going in my cart—because while my bills are important, looking seasonally chic is a necessity.
