I love Autumn! Crisp air. Pumpkins (pie!). Colorful nature. Crunchy leaves under my feet. I'm going to have to pass on the raking though. But I digress.
Autumn also brings a wardrobe challege...dressing in layers... layers to do the job but also to look good as you shed them. But what about those fabulous summer items that you aren't ready to pack away just yet. Let's extend their functional life!
The maxi dress: I recommend a chunky pullover sweater or cardigan and belted with a skinny belt and booties. If your maxi dress is looser on the bottom, utilize a close fitting top. If the bottom is close fitting, use a looser top. It's all about proportion.
Whites: I know, I know. Southern gals don't wear white after Labor Day. What are we??? Our mothers? No. I prefer to limit that rule to no white shoes after Labor Day. Keep wearing those white jeans but take the summer out of them by using a darker palatte, i.e. dark plaid or flannel button down, fall's fur frenzy trend, with them.
Lace dresses: Tone the frill down with a military or safari inspired jacket. Finish it off with suede booties or chunky soled shoes.
That's just a start. With some ingenuity, you can extend most of your summer smashes into fall favorites. But I can't help you with the Havaianas. I have nothing nice to say about socks with flip-flops.
XOXO,
M
