This is an updated post that I’ve done for the past couple of years. What I love about this post, is that even though this is not the first time I’ve done it, I still 100% stand by the staples. They are truly timeless.
This time around I’m going to try to add a bunch of items at various price points. As always, take these as inspiration. (I used a lot of J. Crew pieces for the collage because they have pure flat-lays of the products. It doesn’t mean that you have to buy everything from J. Crew!)
Hi Carly! Loved the post and the items you shared – would you consider doing a future post where you say which is your single favourite brand/item for each of the categories you listed?
Eg. Favourite waxed cotton being the barbour beadnell?
This is a brilliant collection. The wonderful thing about classic dressing is its timless quality. From ages 20’s to 80’s and beyond. Love the updated details.
Thanks so much for this list and including a variety of price points! These are all great pieces and it’s so nice to see affordable options. Could you link to the navy dress in the second row of your picture? I couldn’t find it in the dress section scrolling below but it’s gorgeous.
I actually bought my riding boots (Doc Marten ‘Caite’ style in dark brown) because of one of your fall staple posts! I couldn’t be happier with them. They carried me through the fall and into winter last year (and standing up to Alberta’s snowy winters is no small thing).
…I also might own a navy blue puffer vest and beige trenchcoat because of previous fall staples posts too. Shh.
Love this post- such great, classic staples to add to any fall wardrobe! I was wondering- how to you install those product sliders into your blog post? They are fabulous!
Wow! What a great guide! I definitely own a lot of these pieces but I have my eye on a Burberry trench (I have black but would use tan a lot), and the quilted jacket. I have a fatigue jacket, but I’m loving that waxed one you picked as well. Thanks for sharing!
Long time lurker, first time commenter! As a ~young professional~ I love these types of posts because I’m still building my wardrobe and always on the look out for fashion staples!
Love your picks! And love that so many of the items stand the time aka you know it will be worth the investment, such as the duck boots by LL Bean.
I have a love/hate relationship with Tory Burch riding boots. They are gorgeous and I splurged on a pair a few years ago but they are so tight, stiff (and I am a petite girl), and uncomfortable. It’s a no from me.
Thank you so much for doing this! I can’t even imagine how time consuming it is to find all of these things in so many different price points! It’s such a great guide to have because I’m willing to spend money on investment staples like a good pair of boots or a jacket, but I always look for less expensive shirts and whatnot. This is great! Let’s be real, every post you do is great!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for featuring items in such a wide range of prices and especially for items under $100. I find most bloggers seem to think all their readers are millionaires and can afford all the high end cosmetics (Really? Mascara for $65?) and clothing (Really? everyday jeans for $285?).
📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻

I’ll take the whole top row, please!
I love these pieces! The palette for Autumn is so lovely and rich!
I hope you’ve had a lovely Thursday,

Carly- do you have a link to the adorable purse in the picture? It’s not in the scrolling list under “crossbody”! Thanks!

This is a great list, Carly! I am happy to own many of the pieces mentioned. I just hope it cools down soon in Dallas so I can start wearing them!
This is a brilliant collection. The wonderful thing about classic dressing is its timless quality. From ages 20’s to 80’s and beyond. Love the updated details.
Carly, I really appreciate the work you put into finding affordable pieces for those of us who are on a smaller budget! Thanks for this!
Thanks for putting the prices on all of the pieces! Super helpful.
Thanks so much for this list and including a variety of price points! These are all great pieces and it’s so nice to see affordable options. Could you link to the navy dress in the second row of your picture? I couldn’t find it in the dress section scrolling below but it’s gorgeous.
It’s linked where it says “Wool Dress” https://cprep.co/2yt2ptv
Thank you!!
Love all the pieces but some are on the pricey side. I would love to see a post about best ways to find classic pieces on a discount.
I included a bunch of different price points for each section!
Love, love, love the different price points! More posts like these please!!
I actually bought my riding boots (Doc Marten ‘Caite’ style in dark brown) because of one of your fall staple posts! I couldn’t be happier with them. They carried me through the fall and into winter last year (and standing up to Alberta’s snowy winters is no small thing).

Long time lurker, first time commenter! As a ~young professional~ I love these types of posts because I’m still building my wardrobe and always on the look out for fashion staples!
I always love seeing fall fashions, and I love that there are so many timeless fashions each Fall. Thank you for the inspiration!
Love your picks! And love that so many of the items stand the time aka you know it will be worth the investment, such as the duck boots by LL Bean.
I have a love/hate relationship with Tory Burch riding boots. They are gorgeous and I splurged on a pair a few years ago but they are so tight, stiff (and I am a petite girl), and uncomfortable. It’s a no from me.
