Shopping for fall can be serious (and pricey) business. There's the bag, the new boots, a coat, the new trouser, the list goes on. But this season, instead of overhauling the whole shebang and going into hock, we're looking to update our staples with a few key essentials. In our perfect fall wardrobe world, we will have the new chunky necklace, the pristine tailored jacket, and a ring we can take to the grave. Really, the point is just to find a few great pieces you can wear in a million different ways, giving all your old standbys a fresh new look. So, here are all the fall goods we can't wait to get our hands on.

A.P.C. Leather Shoulder Bag, $470, available at A.P.C. "This has classic stylings but it still feels young and modern. I also like that it will get better with age."

A.Ok Black Silver Bobble Necklace, $62, available at Oak. "I've been seeing a lot of big, bubble-type necklaces on friends, and every time, they look amazing. This one is ultra-affordable...I'll be stalking Oak's website until you can order this again."
Stella McCartney Perforated Thigh-High Boots, $1,625, available at Stella McCartney boutiques. "What fall want list would be complete without the ubiquitous thigh-high boot? This one is my favorite because it's perforated and leather-free…my vegan friends would be proud."
Alexander Wang One Shoulder Goddess Dress, $595, available at La Garçonne. "I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Alex Wang…and I kicked myself when the white version of this ultra-sexy, ruched and super-short delight sold out this summer. Will not be making that mistake again, especially now that it comes in a far easier color to wear: Basic black."
