layering & over-the-knee boots

It's been quite chilly here the past couple of days, today being the coldest (4 degrees!), but being from Canada I'm used to it.  I'm just happy it's going back up to 18 degrees in the next couple of days and 20 by the weekend.  I don't mind the chilly weather (as long as it's above 0 and doesn't last too long) since I get to pull out my favourite boots and have fun with some layering.  Even when the temp drops, it's always sunny so you can layer and get away with not wearing a coat.  I love this red Nasty Gal sweater (last seen here), which brings out the red (erm, burgundy - close enough) in the sleeves of this Free People henley.  Free People has THE best layering pieces.  And, well, everything else.

It was raining most of the day so I thought I would put together a post of the pieces I've been eyeing for fall from Free People.  Nothing speaks fall to me more than Free People (see here, here, here, here and here of some of my favourite FP pieces/looks from last year).  My fall must-haves this year include a (new) denim shirt, a striped tee, a plaid shirt, cozy sweaters, a pair of flared jeans, sweater dresses and a denim jacket to top it all off.  What pieces or trends are you most excited for?
