Fall Fashion Formula #1

Yeah, my first fall fashion formula!

1. cardigan + long t-shirt + skinny jeans + flats + colorful necklace

This is pretty simple, and I am thinking that most people probably have most of these pieces.  If not, see the links below.  You could switch it up to a shorter cardigan, flared jeans, or boots instead of flats.  The colorful necklace gives it a bit of a modern edge and an interesting focal point.

My Look:
Gray Cardigan: $1.49 Half of Half
Long Tee: $17.99  TJ Maxx (long tunic length tees are not the easiest things to find, if you see one snatch it up!
Skinny Jeans: New York and Company
Embellished Flats: $39.99 Marshalls
