Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was another fly by, what did I even do in the past 2 days? kind of weekend! As we get through these dog days of summer I find myself starting to look forward to cozy sweaters and warm cops of soup. However, the weather is not cooperating with these thoughts! Enter transitional fashion. You might have heard these words on blogs and your favorite online shops and wondered…
What the heck is transitional fashion?!
Transitional fashion basically means don’t pack away your summer pieces just yet! With just a few simple styling tricks you can take your favorite warm-weather basics into fall. The classic shirt dress is a piece that’s appropriate across all seasons, but is particularly prevalent in the summer months. Shirt dresses are popular for good reason: they flatter all body types, create shape without being uncomfortable, and transition from day to night with ease.
I’ve styled this ruffle hem shirt dress with my favorite nude peep toe booties make the dress more fall appropriate. These booties were a springtime find but felt a little heavy to wear in the summer months. I’m super excited to finally be styling them for the blog and even more excited that they’re still in stock! They are some of the most comfortable shoes I own and so perfect during this time of year! And of course I added my favorite watch. This classic Daniel Wellington timepiece is the most versatile watch I own. And right now, W&R readers get 15% off their order with code WISHES_REALITY.
Yes, I think I’m ready.
Now that we have the first week of school under our belts, I’m ready. I’m ready for hot coffee, instead of iced. Ready for chilly evenings and cozy layers and slippers. And in all honesty I just love fall fashion! Over the weekend I purchased this sweater and this ruffle hem jacket {I guess I have a thing with ruffle hems!}. Both pieces are just oh so fall.
Be sure to check back this week as I will be sharing some of the pieces that I’m packing for Fashion Week! I’ve been pinning ideas like crazy and am fairly confident that bell sleeves are going to be a thing!
