This morning we shared a few favorite fair trade brands. Really we’re using that term as a catch all – kind of how society treats the word organic when it comes to food. By fair trade we mean companies not only providing fair wages, but also doing other great things like honest sourcing, impeccable waste removal, or B-corp certification.
Now we’re back with our comfiest picks for the season. You may remember these images from a couple years ago and while we like to keep it fresh here, Kate and I both realized we would still pick the same exact fall favorites. We don’t buy excessively, instead we choose items we truly love. Pieces that are timeless, work well in most situations, and are made with quality in mind. How do we know these pieces are timeless? All but two of the links still work four years after the original publication of this post! Bam.
See those clogs on Kate’s pic? She’s had them for ages and recently replaced the sole. That’s the kind of quality we’re looking for when we make new purchases. We buy items we love and cherish for years – I actually wrote a piece for another website all about my affinity for great clothing and gear.
As you can see, Kate’s outfit is a little more appropriate for the outdoors while mine would work well under a big fuzzy blanket. Details below!
Kate’s Fall Favorites:
It was a cool and rainy day in Boulder, the kind of day that makes you think of your coziest fall outfit. Mine includes my well-worn loved Aurora Middle English shoes and those Gap Skinny jeans that really do fit so well, even on a girl who never really thought of her soccer legs as skinny. I also love a good scarf, especially one from a business with a good cause. Speaking of good causes, I love to support an artist with good style and quality wares, my Bookhou bag is one of those purchases, and in this dry weather, I always toss in some rich hand cream.

Sarah’s Fall Favorites :
For me, autumn is all about accessories. I love layering leggings under maxi skirts and wearing wool socks in my Minnetonkas. I never leave home without a pair of convertible mittens, which keep my fingers toasty yet always at the ready for fall photo snapping. I do have to admit that my favorite fall items aren’t clothes, they’re cup accessories! Once the cold weather comes, I always have a jar of tea in my hand complete with the Cuppow and Holdster, which are both made in the USA.
Have you started dressing for fall? What are your favorites?
