Transitioning Your Summer Wardrobe

Skirt The Rules // Blue & White Floral Midi Skirt

Express ‘Barcelona’ cami // Chicwish ‘Floral Sketch’ midi skirt (c/o) // Woven belt // GiGi New York ‘All in One’ clutch (c/o) // Julie Vos ‘Botticelli’ open bangle (c/o) // Julie Vos ‘Pegasus’ revolving ring (c/o) // Ankle strap heels

Today’s alternative title: how to dress for fall when it’s still hot as balls outside.

If I see one more poncho or felt floppy hat, I might set it on fire. My one gripe with the retail world is that “fall” is full swing by the beginning of August. It makes shopping for end-of-summer vacations especially hard. We’re heading to Italy for our honeymoon next week and no, I’m packing caftans, not cashmere!

So what’s a girl to do?

I started transitioning my summer wardrobe by keeping warm weather styles in play, but focusing on a rich, jewel-toned color palette. Case in point: this floral midi skirt that I got back in May. On its own, it screams spring/summer, but paired with a dark emerald cami and a fuchsia clutch and it’s much more toned down for fall.

Shop Jewel Tones:

Side note: If you don’t own the ‘Barcelona’ cami from Express, you need to hop on it! It’s super lightweight and comes in a bunch of fall colors. The best part? They’re reversible and each side is a different shade! They’re the perfect transitional piece.

    How beautiful is this outfit?! I love how you’ve warmed up the colour palette with the deep teal and magenta. And that skirt is just stunning.
