Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits

Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits
I wanted to do a wardrobe capsule this fall, but the time just slipped away from me.  That’s why instead of doing a full fall wardrobe capsule, I decided to break it down and just focus on a casual weekend wardrobe full of some of my favorite staples that are in my closet this fall.  Hopefully, it will give you a few outfit ideas and you may even find a few new wardrobe pieces to add to your closet this fall.

Tops

My favorite fall weekend tops are pretty simple.  I always love a good crew neck t-shirt because they are great for layering.  My current favorite t-shirt is from Express (HERE).  I also have a couple other crew neck tees from Target that I like to wear as well (HERE).   It’s also nice to have a cute graphic tee on hand.  I don’t know about you, but I can’t buy a graphic tee unless it represents me in some way or another, that’s why I love my Michigan graphic tee from Maurices (HERE).  They have it in every state too!  Lastly, you need to have a little plaid in your fall wardrobe.  I just bought this plaid flannel shirt (HERE) also from Maurices.  I love the colors in it!  They go with so much!!

Layers

The fall season is all about layers.  I love a good Target cardigan (HERE).  It works to layer over almost anything.  My go-to affordable denim jacket is always my Old Navy denim jacket (HERE).  It’s the best denim jacket out there and they always bring it back every season!  I also like to use the plaid flannel shirt as a layering piece as well!

Bottoms

I have 2 weekend go-to bottoms in the fall.  Faux leather leggings and cute distressed jeans.  I bought the Spanx faux leather leggings (HERE) as a spurge in the Nordstrom sale over the summer because I knew I would get a lot of use out of them, but you don’t need to spend that much to get a good pair of faux leather leggings.  I have found some affordable options (HERE, HERE, HERE).  I also love a cute pair of distressed denim.  I am not completely retiring my skinny jeans, but I am loving straight-leg jeans at the moment.  This pair (HERE) from Abercrombie is my latest jean purchase and I love them!  They are the perfect weekend jean!

Shoes

Oh, how I love my shoes.  That is why I had to include 3 different options.  I love a good flat shoe with a print and that’s why I have been loving my snakeskin mules.  I thrifted my pair on Poshmark, but I have found an almost look-alike affordable pair (HERE).  I also always need a pair of sneakers.  White sneakers are very popular at the moment.  My white Nike canvas shoes (HERE) have become my go-to tennis shoe.  Lastly, I wanted to include a boot into the mix.  I typically don’t pull out my higher boots until it gets really cold.  That’s why I love booties in the fall.  I have a love for neutral-colored shoes so this pair from Target (HERE) is the perfect pair of booties!
Now that you know what the basic pieces of my weekend wardrobe are, I wanted to put them into action and give you 10 different outfits that you could create with these 10 wardrobe pieces.

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!
