With that in mind I thought I would round up a few of my recent fall purchases. These purchases were made over the course of late July & August with the goal of them being for the upcoming fall season. I am not keeping super close track of what I am spending each month like I used to. Instead I am trying to focus more on the season as a whole, and of course, always spend within my means. This will probably be about it for my "fall" shopping. I have a lot of pieces from last fall and winter that I am excited to wear again. I do have a new pair of riding boots and a blazer on my wish list… but I don't really 'need' those pieces…
Most of these pieces were purchased on sale or promotion… with the exception of a few pieces. I'm still a budget-minded kind of gal when shopping. Unless there is an item that I really want and don't mind splurging a bit - usually this is accompanied by knowing it won't likely EVER go on sale. So I might as well just bite the bullet. Many of these items will be showing up on the blog in outfits soon… but some have already debuted on Instagram… so follow me there! (user: jillgg)

(mini rant: okay, I am LOVING Banana Republic lately, but they are doing this weird thing where they are putting new pieces out in my local store that aren't online - as a blogger, it's frustrating because I want to be able to share exact links to items with you! The same thing happened last spring. So the jeans I got are actually from Banana Republic, but there is nothing online even close to them… so I found these that are closer. So the "shown" jeans aren't exactly what I got… but close!)
Or shop the pieces below…
(keep in mind, some items are available in multiple colors, so thumbnails may reflect that)
