It's Erin Fitzpatrick, senior news editor at Who What Wear. If you're a longtime fan of the site, you might be familiar with my byline since I started here as an intern over nine years ago. (Now I feel old.) Right now, I truly find joy in making thoughtful purchases because fall is my favorite season of the year. I can't be the only one whose day is made by FedEx deliveries, right?

In the past, I might have succumbed to impulse buys, but I've now given myself a specific fashion budget to stick to every month. That way, I don't feel guilty about a new purchase and I'm also motivated to squeeze every inch out of that allotment. Below, I'm sharing all of the items that I've been mulling over.

I hope you enjoy my selection of fall picks. Feel free DM me on Instagram at @fitzpatrickerin to let me know what you're excited to wear this season.
