What to Buy: Summer to Fall
Oh my god, shut up. It's still hot out. It's only been September for 5 minutes. - Everyone reading this right now.
But just think of this post as an excuse to go shopping or something. Summer to fall is a weird time. It goes from being 100+ every day to being 70 overnight. It's hard to make really good outfit choices because one second I'm a little chilly but by 4pm I'm sweating like crazy. There are tons of suggestions on what to do in order to transition a wardrobe between seasons. Keep wearing your favorite sundress but toss on a cardigan (duh). Wear sweaters with shorts. Change out your cute sandals for ankle boots although I actually saw Glamour magazine making a case for wearing your sandals. To each their own I suppose.
When I think summer to fall I think of 8 essential pieces. I trade in my shorts for a tailored pair of cropped trousers or a simple pair of jeans. I love a good lightweight sweater which look casual with jeans and dressed up with trousers. I wore a similar Zara short-sleeved sweater on Thanksgiving last year so that is definitely fall approved. The rest of these items seem like no brainers. Layer your favorite sundress (bonus points if it's a darker shade or pattern) and toss on a denim jacket for chilly mornings or evenings. Whether or not you own these items or are just looking for something to buy (and an excuse to buy it) there's one rule to abide by: choose darker colors. That's what fall is all about. Think navy blue, black, khaki, red, and even certain shades of green and yellow.
