Hi, friends! Another week has passed and we’re back with another classic edition of Friday Favorites! As the new season approaches- although it’s often bittersweet- it is the best time for shopping. With the seasons, fashion also changes! This means new wardrobe possibilities, more combinations to mix & match, and fresh trends to consider. Who’s ready for it?

I have just one special announcement before we get started! We’re rolling out an innovative and fun way to interact with The Closet by Christie! It’s an original game called ‘Style Truth or Dare.’ Intrigued? Click on the ‘Style Truth or Dare’ section listed at the top of our homepage for more information and to submit your truth or dare!

So without any further ado– here are my favorites of the moment!

Leather leggings are the next big thing! How cool are these? They’re fun. They’re sassy. AND they’re a new favorite of mine!
These sandals are gorgeous! Plus, they walk the line between each of the four seasons. Because of the ankle bootie silhouette, you can wear these for both winter and fall. Because of the peep-toe detail, you can also wear these for spring and summer! What a versatile shoe!
This top is simple, but the detailing is so pretty! I love the ribbed design. It’s a perfect basic to add to your wardrobe!
I really love crossbody’s because they’re so functional. Who wants to carry around a handbag when you can drape it across your body instead? How convenient! This one is perfect for the fall because of the pretty olive hue.  
I recently shared how much I’ve been loving this button-front a-line skirt trend (see previous post: Button-Up A-Line Skirt Styled 4 Ways). Since writing that post, I came across this particular printed skirt from Topshop and I absolutely love it! It’s fun and it’s versatile. You could definitely wear this in and out of the office!
As you’ve been seeing more and more lately, I love hats! I’ve been obsessed over my black Express wide-brimmed wool fedora all summer long. Why not get a similar one in green? I want need this!
Metallics are so fun and the best part is, they really go with everything. I definitely prefer gold and every woman needs a large tote, so this bag is a win win!
