We're only a few days into August, yet my mind has been consumed by fall fashion. I'm sorry to all the summer lovers—I just can't dress like my true self when I'm simultaneously trying not to melt into a puddle of sweat. The thought of sweaters, boots, and jackets will always make my heart sing, and I'm not afraid to admit it. My favorite retailers seem to agree with me, as there's been an overload of stellar fall items hitting the new-arrival pages of H&M, Zara, and Shopbop. I may have had a little too much fun during my market research, as a few items ended up making their way to my personal shopping cart.
If you're also impatient like me, you'll want to take a look at the shopping list below. Fall will be here sooner than you think, and with the picks coming your way, your wardrobe will certainly be prepared. Keep scrolling to kick-start next season's shopping.

Everyone needs a classic black blazer.
All this cardigan needs is a plain tank and jeans.
