Pair a heavy skirt with a light and airy top

Nothing says fall like a wool or tweed skirt, like this L.A.M.B. High Waist Plaid Skirt, $245 at Nordstrom, and just because it's a heavy material that doesn't mean you have to wear a warm top! Wear something silky and light with just a little sleeve to balance it out (sleeveless will look a little too summery, but a cap sleeve will do). If you can pull out a color, even better -- we like this Nanette Lepore 'Evocative' Top, $280 at Nordstrom.
