As I was rummaging through my closet with the idea of 90 degree weather in my head, it dawned on me...Fall weather dawned on me, smacked me in the face, and told me that short shorts and racerback tees just aren't going to work anymore! I glanced at my sweaters and jackets, shrugged, and then grabbed my sweatpants, deciding to stay home that day. I felt defeated. Summer is really over?
Yes, unfortunately, those hot, lazy summer days are over; the the worst part is knowing that it's just going to get colder! Thankfully, fashion has tricked mother nature with something called summer to fall transitional outfits! Yay! We can still wear shorts and gladiators for two more weeks! The trick is being able to not look like you're stuck in the past. Well, I must explain. You see, this isn't easily pulled off, because you can go from looking chic to looking like a reject who needs to put on a sweater before they catch a case of the sniffles...
I Love ShortsHmm, don't want to let go of those denim shorts? Okay, fine, go snatch a blazer out your closet, and while you're at it, get some tights or leggings if you dare Throw on some of the seasons hottest shoe trends like lace-up booties or clogs, and you are set. Please don't assume that a bikini top will be okay to wear under the blazer! A simple t-shirt will do just fine.
Floral is my FavoriteOkay, I enjoyed the floral trend just as much as you did. It intensified my girlishness! Floral speaks the language of being feminine, so I understand why some are holding on. Try out a simple muted floral dress, a denim jacket or vest, and throw on some suede knee high boots. So now you can still wear your cute floral dress but stand the windy days.
Listen to LeatherLeather is one of Fall's biggest trends; I personally try to avoid real leather; since, I'm such an animal lover, not to mention my guilty conscience! Anyways, Leather pretty much has been made into every article of clothing this season, from chokers to underwear; it's just in! Now depending on the temperature in your area, leather shorts might not be such a bad idea? A button down silk top, knit sweater, or once again, a tee and some booties or oxfords could really look fab with this leather trend!
So how do you feel about the transition? What trend are you going to sport? Leather and silk? Denim, camel, and floral? Or, are you just going to follow the beat of your own drum!? The choice is yours. Be chic!
Chao!
Well, my birthday is officially over! It was a great birthday! Now on to more important things--CLOTHES!
