Because nothing says “fall” quite like perfect denim, a giant tote, and easy-breezy layering options that are basically the OOTD version of a pumpkin-flavored beverage.

My pictured burnt sienna is *not* on-sale this time, BUT y'all: This is my favorite Madewell tote of all time. And reviewers below specifically love the on-sale navy and cream colors! (And I'm SERIOUSLY considering adding the on-sale dark green to my rotation, omg.) 

Promising reviews: "I had been looking for a navy tote bag for quite some time. This one is perfect. Love the woven leather look and the size. I would highly recommend." —Pursegirl

Shockingly, I also have this version. ADORABLE to sling onto your elbow for a quick out-the-door bag that can carry a surprising amount!

OOPS. I actually own these in the dark brown, too, and they are COMFY without losing their shape. Oh, and it's so delightful to change out the laces on a whim for a whole new look. These were great in the summer and I have *no* plans of sidelining them for fall. If you've been wanting to try the loafer style but don't want to fully commit to the bit, these are the perfect (no pun intended) stepping stone.
