My Go-to Fall Transition Pieces
There are always several pieces I find myself reaching for when the summer weather starts to change into the cooler temps of fall. It’s my favorite time of year, especially when it comes to clothes!
I’m sharing with you several items that I think are great to have on hand to help you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall!
A simple cotton midi dress is a great, year round item to have in your closet. It’s easy for summer because it’s a simple, toss-on-and-go item. Pairing it with sandals, wedges and even a denim jacket on cool summer nights is a simple but put together look. Transitioning it into the cooler months is as simple as swapping the sandals for sneakers or booties, and layering it with a Moto jacket, boyfriend cardigan or sticking with your denim jacket!
A good, neutral pair of sneakers is something everyone should have in their closet. They go with so many things and can be worn year round, making them an easy item to switch the whole season of anything in your closet! These Veja’s are such great quality and worth every penny.
I will sing the praises of a utility jacket forever and ever! This is something that I have had in my closet for years and will never tire of it! While you can’t deny it’s functionality, it has such a simple, classic, stylish look and feel to it that completes any outfit, whether it be a graphic tee and jeans, or your summer sun dress. One of my favorite ways to wear it is over my summer dresses!
Don’t pack away your summer dresses just yet! They are just as perfect for crisp, fall days as they are for hot and sticky summer days! I love adding my denim jacket or utility jacket with a pair of booties. Another fun way to get more wear out of your summer dress is tossing on a lightweight sweater/sweatshirt, belting it and tucking in the belt! It gives the dress new life!
Boyfriend cardigans are an easy layering piece-I love to toss it on over dresses for some added warmth but also for a nice finishing touch! Have some super cute cami’s that you don’t want to pack away just yet? Wear with a pair of denim and top off with a boyfriend cardigan!
Fitted midi skirts-love them, can’t live without them, wear them year round and will never tire of them! As much as they are great in the summer time, my favorite time of year to wear them is during the fall. A midi skirt, graphic tee, sneakers, and a denim jacket is one of my favorite outfits to wear!
Black skinny pants are typically the one thing I recommend to someone who needs to dress up for work. They are a great basic that can be worn in the office and outside of the office as well. Not to mention, they can be worn year round. Find a pair that is a little more on the cropped side and they will look great with sandals and ankle booties alike!
A neutral pair of ankle booties instantly transform an outfit from summer to fall. I personally prefer a lower, wider heel and a taupe/brown shade over others. I think they go with so much-you’ll find yourself wearing them so much!
A good denim jacket-you really can’t go wrong. Besides being a perfect piece to help transition your wardrobe, its a closet staple. I always tell my clients that it’s something they should always have in their closet! It’s an easy way to get more wear out of those sleeveless pieces in your wardrobe.
Flat mules, similar to ankle booties are something you’ll find yourself wearing a lot. I seem to reach for them to wear with outfits I would tend to wear sandals with in the warmer months!
