Transitions


As much as I LOVE summer, it's about time to acknowledge fall's arrival. While the stores begin to show all kinds of deep, dark colors and warm coats, there's no need to rid your closet completely of summer pieces. With a few tweaks, you can expertly combine your summer favorites into a perfect outfit for transitioning effortlessly into fall's vibrant style. 

Begin by choosing a simple shift dress..that striped one from summer's nautical trend works perfectly when combined with a colorful cardigan in a rich shade. Add pops of cobalt, one of fall's big colors in accessories, like a belt and pointed toe flats, and finish off the look with some mixed metal bangles and hammered gold earrings. For a more daring combination, try mixing stripes and polka dots (a major trend for the season) and cinch your waist with a lime green belt or play with complimentary color combinations like plum and yellow. 

Something to try for a smooth summer to fall transition is a simple swap of your sandals for some cute loafers or colored ballet flats. J.Crew and Target both have some adorable options to choose from. Don't be afraid to play with color in your accessories, especially jewelry and belts; these are quick and rather inexpensive ways to incorporate some of fall's trending looks. 

What are some of your favorite looks for fall?

I often transition my summer dresses into Fall with the addition of leggings and boots. I love that cobalt blue is going to be a big Fall color!

Love this post, great idea to slowly transition from summer to fall! Also, I am dying for a polka dot sweater!! I love the JCrew one, but may have to settle for the Old Navy version :)

I've got a shopping trip planned for this week and I've been trying to be very mindful of what I buy for fall--lots of transition pieces and a few investments (like a new coat and great pair of flats) are topping my list. Also, chunky sweaters--my favorite thing about fall!
