Brr! I don't think the high even hit 60 degrees today, although it was beautiful and sunny. We actually turned our heat on yesterday. I was trying to hold out for a while still but our house was freezing! Anyone else cave in to the chill and get the heat going?
To make summer tops and skirts wearable for chillier fall days the easiest thing to do is add a cardigan, tights, and closed toe shoes or boots. Extend the life of your summer dresses by layering them with collared shirts and sweaters and warm wool tights or leggings. I actually think good thick tights are warmer than jeans (and I'm a known freeze baby.) Plus they're a fun and feminine way to change up your everyday look.












Girl, I can't get over how cute you are! This is the perfect fall outfit and I'm absolutely loving your purple top from J.Crew! LOVE :)
ReplyDeleteLove the advice on extending summer dresses. Your hair always looks perfect!

It was COLD wasn't it? I couldn't believe the temps in Chicago this weekend, it felt like late november. I love the tights and the shoes you selected for this outfit, def Fall ready.
ReplyDeleteYou look so sweet in these colours, I love that your wardrobe is never boring. And totally agree, that's how I try and make most of my summer wardrobe work for winter
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! This skirt is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous you needed to turn your heat on - I still have my AC on! I'm really loving pastels for fall, such a cute look!!

I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of looking forward to turning on my heat (but not what it will do to my bill, that's for sure!). There's just something so cozy about cuddling up under a blanket in fall. The setting for these shots is gorgeous, by the way!

I love your outfit! It's definitely getting chillier every day in Minneapolis. I'm on the hunt for a new pair of booties and some more tights so I can wear dresses a bit longer!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute look! It is not getting cold in LA at all yet, but I'm heading to London in two weeks and can't wait to layer and wear coats!
