Summer Mextures

Mixing patterns and textures (or Mextures, as my post is aptly called), can be one of my favorite things to do in fashion. I thought that the textures in this outfit were a fun combination, and perfect for the end of Summer. Seriously guys, it's still Summer. Everyone is trying to bust out all the Fall fashions, and I'm over here like...it is still 110 degrees outside. Can we calm down? 

Having lived in Arizona for the past year, and south Florida for 5 years prior to that, I barely even have any Fall or Winter clothes at this point-I need to make an essentials list of cool weather staples (Daniel doesn't agree). 

Do any of you have a staple item that you can't live without for Fall? I'd love to get your suggestions in the comments below!
