I'm a Millennial Who Doesn't Believe in "Dressing My Age"—Here's My Shopping List RN

In my experience, as a millennial, some days I feel like I'm 40, and others I feel like I'm 20. So I don't even know what "dressing my age" would mean for me. Sometimes I wear outfits that I definitely wore when I was 25, and other times I wear outfits that I would've never worn when I was 25. I wear what I like and what I feel most comfortable in on any given day, and this may mean that my wardrobe is a tiny bit all over the place, but I'm just fine with that.

As it always is in October, this millennial's shopping list is quite long. And just for fun, I felt like sharing it in case it inspires some of your own mid-fall shopping (before all of our time and money is devoted to shopping for gifts). Below, you'll find the shoes, jeans, outerwear, and colors I'm shopping for, to name just a few bullet points. (I told you it was long.) Keep scrolling to go down a shopping rabbit hole along with me.

It's the color of the season (well, one of them), and I've been swapping it for black constantly this season.

Alex Mill KB Ribbed Cardigan in Mahogany

Staud Wally Boots

Mango 100% Leather Kitten-Heel Ankle Boots

Whether tights are a trend or not during any given season (they are), I'm still going to wear them because it's cold.
