After spending this past week in the mountains, I’m definitely craving cooler weather! It was in the 60’s and 70’s during our trip… cool enough to pull out a cardigan and I LOVED it! I love summer for about two weeks and then I’m always ready to see the leaves start to change and have the temperature drop. Retailers have started to drop some of their pre-fall pieces, and lots of them are perfect for the transitional days in the coming weeks. Think: skirts with lightweight sweaters, long sleeve dresses with booties.
Layering is key during this time of year. A skirt and tank is the perfect daytime look, but I love throwing on a loose cardigan in the evenings to make the outfit feel a little more cozy. During the transitional months I love to mix a summer top with an autumn bottom, or a chunkier knit top with skirt or pair of shorts and closed-toed shoes. It keeps the look from feeling (or looking) too heavy, and makes the items that can transition into the cooler months wearable right now.
I’m currently loving the idea of wearing these faux leather shorts with a lightweight cardigan and flats, or this skirt with a knit tank (a similar vibe to what I’m wearing in these photos). I’m linking to a few of my favorite new arrivals that I can picture styling now, but then continuing to wear further into the fall and winter.
Obsessed with this look and these gorgeous photos! Definitely have me craving the mountains and the fall season!
