JessaJill: Window Shoppin 8/24

While it's still hot outside and summer is still in full swing, I of course, have my eye on Fall wear. I do this every year. The minute I see new cute fall stuff, I begin wishing that it was fall so I can wear all of it. Truthfully I love wearing long sleeves. I love cute jackets. I love boots. Its not to say I don't like warm weather, I'm just one of those people who would love to live somewhere that never snowed, there was just Autumn weather all Winter long. Spring could be 3 months, Summer could last as long as summer does but just straight Autumn until March. That would be perfect.

Also Autumn in Utah is gorgeous. I know back East gives that statement a run for the money with all the beautiful trees everywhere. But Autumn is very distinct here. Who knows what its going to be like this year. Things have been crazy what with the extra long Winter and skipping Spring all together. Lets not talk about it anymore.

And while I'd like to pretend that I know what I'm talking about and wear these things I pick out on a daily basis - this outfit right here - is exactly what I wear during Fall. It may not be fashion forward but this screams me.

I love cardigans because they're versatile. I love comfortable jeans that do me the favor of sculpting my butt while they're at it. And we all know I love Toms. I would happily wear this or a variation of this every day in Fall. Except this little number's overall cost totals $428. Which I'm far too cheap to do. I'll admit to purchasing jeans for over $100 because they went above and beyond the call of jeans. My butt becomes a wonder to behold, alright? I just plain wouldn't spend $95 on a plain white shirt. You just can't make me.

So of course lets see if we can do any better...

1. Here. 2. Here. 3. Here. 4. Here. 5. Here. 6. Here.

Darker? Yes, but we still have the same concept. And yes, while they're still Toms, the cheaper Charlotte Russe version doesn't give a pair to a child in need. The plain white tee is $6.50 which is actually cheaper than the go-to plain white crew necks I buy at Downeast basics for $14.99. But I am a fan of the material Downeast uses...

This outfit's total is $164.29. Much more reasonable. I'm also a big fan of the lace effect on that cardigan as well. Which is something the J.Crew cardigan doesn't have.

And because I can't help myself, here are some other fun finds:

While I realize this headband is meant to be worn a certain way, meaning across the forehead, I just don't do that. More power to the women that do, but I wear my headbands like a normal headband.
