wear now & later - burgundy!

If you've been reading the past few weeks you know that I've got fall on the mind.  Big time! The weather lately has been telling us it's coming sooner than I think we're ready to admit.  But, that doesn't mean summer's over - nor, does it mean that we can't take some of falls trendiest colors and rock them early.  I love the color burgundy!!  It reminds me of when I was a kid, totally had this awesome suede burgundy Arizona brand vest...  Yep - 90's child!

I would definitely play with tones here - in the first look I've paired a boyfriend fit pant with some glitz and glam.  I added a hot pink hand bag to bring out the pinker hues in the pant and make them seem more summery!

In the second look I'm featuring this blazer (again - I'm a little obsessed ok?) with more peachy tones.  The leopard flats and darker accessories bring this look into the cooler weather while keeping it fun and transitional!

12 transitional pieces to take you from summer to fall

AH! I said it.  Transitional from summer to fall...  sorry not sorry, but it's happening.  And although I may be a bit premature the cooler weather is most definitely pushing me in the fall direction.  I tried to choose pieces that you may already have from either last season or this summer.  Let's go down the list -

1. Denim Vest - the slightly cooler version of the denim jacket. This is slightly more versatile especially for a transition season!  Layer this over a tshirt dress now and a sweater later! 

2. Utility Jacket - The perfect throw over on a cooler summer night in front of a camp fire.  Equally perfect on a cool fall day with a tshirt and jeans.  This is a must-have! 

3. Striped Sweater - duh, do I have to explain?  We all know I'm obsessed with stripes... 

4. Jewel toned shell - jewel tones are amazing for fall to show off your summer tan and layer under more earthy toned suits and casual wear. 

5. Leopard Flats - another duh moment. Really keeping my eye on these Madewell skimmers... I want them!

6. Sueded loafers - so cute with shorts and button up now for a casual weekend look and pair them with boyfriend jeans and a slouchy sweater later!

7. Floral Top - This is great now with a pencil skirt, shorts, you name it.  Bring it into fall with a utility jacket and boyfriend jeans or denim jacket and earthy colored pants. 

8. Boyfriend Jeans - I wear mine constantly, they are amazing with a wide variety of shoes and tops.  

9. Dark Wash Jeans - a nice dark wash just looks great with knee high boots and flats.  

10.  Pants in Earthy Tones - what a better way to celebrate foliage than with earthy tones?  They're great for spring through fall. 

11. Ankle Boots - easily worn with dresses now and skinny or boyfriend jeans later

12. Jewel toned flats - every girl needs some fun flats to rock.  Beautiful colored flats keep fall interesting!
