September almost feels like a new year; the beginning of school and that sense of change that is headed our way.
Even though we know it will cool down, some of us aren’t ready to give up on summer clothing. Heck, not when the warm season is so short in Minnesota. The task of transitioning your wardrobe is no small feat.
Here are a few ideas to help you slide into the next season with less effort. Putting outfits together is like a puzzle. At first you’re not sure what fits together, then as you experiment, it all starts falling into place.
Pair your favorite summer tee shirt or blouse with a suede or leather jacket. It’s fun with a print skirt too.
When you transition from sandals to boots try wearing a tall boot – without tights. Show a little leg with your dress or skirt… I always think it’s a fabulous look for fall!
Put away any tops or bottoms that are cotton/linen summer fabrics (It’s more about the fabric than the color). If you wore it on a 90 degree day, time to move it out of the closet.
This open weave, cut-out shoulder sweater is perfect for daytime, paired with a skirt, or out at night with jeans (even white ones).
Believe it or not, you can own a few items that you just wear during the transition from summer to fall, or winter into spring. A stretch pattern dress is the perfect option.
Swap out your summer sandals for a peep toe ankle boot.
Make the most of what you loved about your summer favorites and creatively extend them into fall.
