I love fall clothes. Gimme big sweaters, matching sweatsuits (swoots anyone?), and all the cozy feels. I don’t like creating a whole new wardrobe though–I like finding staple pieces and mixing in a few new items to really round out my outfit and make me feel like I could still fit in with the college students I sometimes teach 😛

So today… I present my expert opinion on fashion with a fall 2021 Old Navy haul. I know, I know. You’re totally not surprised as I roll out my first fashion post. But I love Old Navy, I think the clothes hold up for the price and I can mix them up to be casual or dressy.

The key is to mix new pieces with old favorites. It keeps your closet feeling fresh without breaking the bank. And when something stops being your favorite, you can sell it online or donate it. Please, please don’t throw perfectly good clothes in the trash ❤

The goods

#1 – Oversized/Boyfriend Denim Jacket

I love a good oversized denim jacket. They layer perfectly for fall and you can dress them up or down. I currently love layering a t-shirt and flannel or cardigan over a pair of leggings or skinny jeans with Chelsea boots or white sneakers. I don’t know about where you are, but in New Jersey fall means 40 degrees in the morning, 65 during the day, and then downright chilly at night. By dressing in layers, I can easily add or remove as the temperature changes all day!

#2 – Tie Dye Shirt & #3 Beanie

I’m a sucker for oversized tie-dye tshirts. This shirt is the perfect mix of fall colors and makes me think of falling leaves or a sunset before sitting around a backyard firepit. It’s the perfect length — no cropped shirts for this gal!

Shirt linked here, color is Warm Tie-Dye.

I would be lying if I said one of my favorite reasons for fall is because I can wear beanies which means I don’t have to wash my hair as often 😛 I love the color of this one, and the fit is fantastic (if you’re part of the thick hair/big head club you know tight hats/headbands can be a major drag)

Beanie linked here, color is Ondine.

#4 – Jogger Swuit (Sweater Suit)

I actually picked this one up in the spring, but she’s still a fall hit. I just ordered it in warm tie-dye, so you know that she’s a winner. I mostly wear this around the house, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t worn it to drop off my taxes, go to the grocery store, and hang out with friends. Ok, so basically I wear it out of the house a lot too. Whoops.

I also have this in a sweatshirt linked here, color is Olive Tie Dye. Also sold as a crewneck here. And jogger pants linked here, color is Olive Tie Dye.

#5 – Luxe V Neck Long Sleeve & #6 – Rockstar High Rise Skinny Jeans

Every so many years I like to replace my luxe tees with new ones because the colors get faded and dingy. I love these shirts for layering, they’re flowy and don’t cling–plus they tuck nicely and the sleeves stay pushed up on the long sleeve.

Another oldie but a goodie, I love my black high rise rockstar skinny jeans. The destroyed look in the knees makes them comfy and I can dress them up or down.

And yes… that’s my oversized denim jacket (item #1) making another appearance. Hooray for versatility!

Let’s Wrap it up Cassidy

As you can see, I’ve linked a mix of new finds and similar finds to staples in my closet. You don’t need to reinvent your wardrobe every season (unless you want to, I reckon!) and investing in some key staples means you can mix and match new pieces over the years. Happy shopping!
