If you’re like me, you don’t buy a new wardrobe every season; not only does that require a limitless budget, but it’s kind of a waste when you have things from last year that you’ve been dying to return to your regular rotation. It’s always fun to buy something new, though; it marks the beginning of a new season and helps make your existing wardrobe feel a little bit fresher.
In those situations, the best thing you can do is choose a piece that straddles the line between something that can be worn regularly and something that feels more like a “statement” piece. Below, check out five of our favorites from fall’s new crop that make an impact without feeling overtly trendy–these are the pieces that you’ll be excited to pull out again when next fall rolls around.

I may purchase an army green knit sweater and sew buttons on one shoulder and tell everyone it’s Balmain. No one will know the difference.. The one pictured looks like it could be from Zara!
so true. LOL
I’m a knitter; therefore, I know yarn can be expensive (not even considering my time).
Nevertheless, it’s hard to tell from a picture whether this Balmain
sweater is worthy of the price or not. When I’ve seen Brunello Cucinelli
sweaters in person, I’ve been impressed with both the style and materials;
however, the prices are way beyond my budget. This sweater is not
attractive, though. The only item I’ve thought about adding is a burgundy bag–not this one, though.
I need that skirt; so pretty!
