I’m Limiting Spending, But I Couldn’t Resist These Runway-Approved Fall Basics

New season, new me… At least, that’s what I tell myself. The arrival of fall means a bevy of new trends are on the horizon and, naturally, more chances for fashion joy as the weather begins cooling down. As we inch toward New York Fashion Week and the start of silly girl dinners, my credit card is begging for a crumb of mercy. No, shockingly enough, I can’t buy every cute piece of clothing that catches my eye to be a financially responsible adult. Who would have thought?

As such, I’m only focusing on buying truly timeless basics that are made to last. Even though the fall runway trends are calling my name, I know these 10 pieces are going to hold up for ages in my closet, and I already own most of them. From wide-leg jeans to simple shoe silhouettes, these runway-inspired basics are all you need for a well-rounded capsule wardrobe this fall.
