Happy Labor Day! Hopefully you're reading this before or after a day of fun and relaxation (and if you're lucky great barbecue). Now that summer is officially over, tomorrow we'll be smack dab at the beginning of Fall. You probably think I'm going to recommend you start shopping for a new Fall wardrobe. As much as I love shopping, I think it's totally ridiculous to buy a new wardrobe. A smart girl knows just how to transition a Summer wardrobe to Fall (I can't even think about throwing on boots or a jacket tomorrow but a girl can be prepared-it's still all of 99 degrees here).Two Simple Rules
- Add layers. Layer on warmth with opaque leg wear, scarves, or long sleeve tops.
- Toughen up accessories and outerwear. Swap sandals for boots and linen for leather. Bring out the hardcore handbags in deep colors and heavy materials.
Start with a simple silk dress you used to throw on with strappy sandals or flat gladiators during the summer...
Add heavy opaque tights (you can still wear your strappy sandals or add a boot)...
Top with a long belted cardigan or tough leather jacket (if the crisp Fall air is too cold, add a turtleneck under the dress too)...
Cotton/Wool Long Cardigan $98 and Double Wrap Belt $50, Banana Republic.
Voila! Summer meets Fall.
