Forget about the pumpkins! The only type of picking I’m focused on right now is my fall wardrobe. And with so many trends to try this season, I’ve been searching the sites to stock up on all the essentials!

As a professional fashion writer, online shopping is my area of expertise. I prefer to save instead of splurge, so finding sales is my Roman Empire — I think about deals on a daily basis. That being said, sometimes it’s worth it to spend a little extra on staples that you’ll wear for years to come.

These are the 21 items I have my eyes on for fall. Some are budget-friendly and some are slightly bougie. Happy shopping!

1. Paint the Town Red! Red is the hottest color of the season, so stay on trend with this red crocodile embossed shoulder bag — just $13!

2. Ballet Beauty! Ballet flats are back in style, and we’re loving this patent leather pair at a super affordable price point — just $27!

3. On Point! These are my all-time favorite boots from Lulus! I own multiple shades, and I may just have to buy another pair for fall — just $56!

4. Saddle Up! This beige saddle shoulder bag looks nearly identical to the similar Dior style that retails for $4,400 — originally $40, now just $30!

5. Loafing Around! If you don’t own a pair of loafers for fall yet, snag these Franco Sarto shoes on sale — originally $99, now just $80!

6. Top Coat! I am absolutely obsessed with my Splendid Icon coat! It’s cozy and lightweight, the perfect layering piece for fall — just $168!
