CURATED BY MCR: YOUR FALL CLOSET
Fall is my absolute favorite season for so many reasons, but specifically - the fashion. We all love a simple #MegRunUniform, but the best part is, Fall allows you to build on those staple pieces you already have in your closet and make the look as a whole even better. Investing in those basics makes you closet so versatile when it comes to layering for cooler weather. I decided to break down my 'capsule wardrobe' by season, in hopes that it's not too overwhelming, and so that it gives you a guide to shop by. A checklist, if you will. Below, I'm sharing what you need (relative, as we all know), as well as a direct link to my favorite brand and/or style of that specific item. Some totally affordable, some more of an investment - you can make the call on that, or even find a similar option that might be more your style. Either way, being able to pull from these closet must-haves season after season, year after year, is what it's all about. Here we go!

Remember, this is just a basic guide to the pieces + brands I love and reach for often in my own closet. From a $12 Zara white tee that I own five of to an investment piece like a Burberry trench - you have to gravitate towards what you love and would wear most often. I try to focus on not spending as much on the things I'll wear often, because they'll get so much wear/washed so often, and spend more on the jackets + accessories that will be more occasional pieces. If the item is an investment piece, I try to ask myself - will I pass it down? If the answer is yes, it's worth the money, in my opinion. If the answer is no, because it's either trendy or just not a classic brand, I send it back.
I'll circle back around soon with a Winter version of this capsule guide and include more items such as heavier coats, gloves, etc. Additionally, a lot of the basic pieces will be repeated season after season because they're such closet staples, so if you're starting from scratch, definitely start there!
