There are 3 key accessories that play an absolutely essential part in building your fall wardrobe.

The booties, the bag, & the scarf. What I adore about this specific effortless fall #ootd is that: when you take away the booties, the bag, and the lightweight scarf . . . the outfit is as simple as a black tee and ripped jeans. Yup, that’s it (raise your hand if you, too, want to be wearing ripped jeans and tees on a daily basis – my hand is raised!). These essential 3 accessories simply transform a simple jeans-and-tee outfit into a chic and on-trend fall #ootd.

And these three essential pieces also just so happen to be from one of my favorite fast-fashion, on-trend accessory destinations out there: Sole Society. I’m head-over-heels for their fall accessory collection, not only because they meet all my necessary check marks and needs (good-quality, on trend, yet timeless), but they also are extremely affordable, attainable, and perfect for the young 20-something-gal on a budget.

Today I’m strutting the Zada booties (taken in New York’s classic Central Park) — which are the hands-down perfect staple for fall and winter – especially with their neutral tone that goes with all your soon-to-be fall ensembles. The Thalia bag by Sole Society is a cutie little neutral staple that will most definitely transition your wardrobe from one season to the next – and also happens to be under $50. Last, but not least, the over-sized silk scarf. Scarves can add so much texture to an outfit, especially a simple ensemble like this one. I love how classic–and minimal–this specific scarf is, and find it to the be the perfect embellishment to an effortless chic fall (Sole Society – embellished) #ootd.

PS – my brother and I shot this post in the middle of a rainstorm in Central Park!
