How To Transition From Summer To Fall Fashion
Your calendar says ‘September’ and your favorite coffee shop is selling pumpkin spice flavored everything
but it’s still hot outside! Does this ring true for you? I’m speaking
from experience because I’m living it here in New Jersey! I want to wear
my ponchos, turtlenecks, and boots but it’s hard to decide what to wear
when the weather can’t make up its mind. While you don’t want to bundle
up, there are a few things you can do with your wardrobe to feel a
little more like autumn without contradicting the actual temperature.

Here’s How To Transition From Summer To Fall!
DEEPEN YOUR HUES
It’s
amazing how different colors can evoke different emotions. It sounds
crazy but by simply packing away your brights and bringing out the
deeper hues that you’re used to seeing during the fall, it can make a
huge difference despite what you’re actually wearing. In this look, I’m
wearing a crop top and shorts but it seems less summery because they are
black. Can you imagine the difference it would make it I were wearing bright pink instead?

MIX LENGTHS
Mixing lengths can also have a big impact on your outfit. What do I mean by this? Here I’m wearing shorts and a jacket. In another example, I might wear a long sleeve top with a pair of ankle trousers or a basic tank with a pair of jeans or tights.
INCORPORATE FALL ACCESSORIES
Accessories
can completely change the story of your outfit. Believe it or not,
small details can make a big impact! For this particular look, I
incorporated boots and a military jacket to give it a fall
vibe. What impression would you get if I traded out the boots for flip-flops? Other fall accessories that would work well include: scarves, capes, and hats.

Your rocking this outfit. Since it still pretty warm here. I have been busting out my browns and dark colors. Have a great week.

Thanks, Amy! Dark colors are definitely the way to go!
Looking fabulous in this outfit, and some great ideas to carry us through to Autumn. I've been adding lengths to my outfits, sort of layering, but not necessarily for the warmth, just the look. Some smashing photos, they look amazing Hun. Jacqui

Thank you so much, Jacqui! That's an awesome tip! Light layers and varying lengths are a great way to transition into fall while it's still warm.
I love this! You look so chic! I absolutely adore that jacket!
