Just because summer is coming to a close (say it aint so!), it doesn’t mean that all your summer staples have to be banished to the back of the closet. Of course those flip flops will have to go, but your cute dresses, shorts and tanks can be here to stay!

Layer. Layer. Layer.

This one may seem pretty obvious. But honestly it can be easily overlooked! You can still wear all your sleeveless tanks and tees but throw over a nice blazer or cardigan to keep the chill at bay. Throw a turtleneck under your summer slip dress for a sophisticated look. Even a cute pair of shorts look chic with a pair of tights underneath.

 Add Warm Accessories over your Summer Garb

Throw a cute wool hat and a long warm cardigan over your summer dress with a pair of booties to look and feel fall appropriate. Add a chunky wool scarf over any summer garment for a perfect transition into those cool days.

 Wear Warm Tights under Long Dresses

Maxi dresses are the perfect summer attire, but did you know they can also be practical and stylish for fall? Invest in a pair of warm fleecy tights with a long cardigan and you can wear those breezy dresses all-seasons without ever feeling the chill.

 Swap out those Sandals for Booties

With just a slight adjustment in footwear, you can still rock those summer skirts with some booties or even high boots. Slip on some knee-high socks with a cute skirt and you’re good to go!

 Mix your Summer Florals with Warm Fall Knits

Who says that flower prints are only for the warm months? Add a knit sweater over those floral blouses and dresses with a pair of booties or cute sneakers for a cozy, stylish look. I like to throw on a beret just for good measure!
