Summer to Fall

As summer is coming to an end, the days get shorter and colder. To adapt, we change our clothing types. This can not only be expensive, but also wasteful. So before you give away all the tank tops and shorts, think twice.

The basic rule is simple, layers. If you have a cute tank top you do not want to give up just yet, add a jacket or blazer. Have any shorts that were just bought at the end of summer? Add leggings and boots. However do not forget the color scheme for fall. Remember, warmer and softer colors for this time of the year. If you are worried about some of the prints in your closet, just know floral is perfect for around the year.

Boots are a staple piece for fall, and also go into the winter season. So investing in a nice pair of boots that will last is a smart idea. Try to get a neutral color like brown, black, or grey so you can match them with a variety of outfits. Don't forget about the flip flops you have been wearing all summer! Transition them into the early months of fall, (or depending on how cold it gets where you live) by pairing them with a pair of jeans.

Accessories can pull an outfit all together. For fall, belts really add a nice touch, and they also help put variety into your wardrobe. For example, if you want to wear a simple shirt with a belt over it one day, then another day wear it with a jacket instead, it looks like a whole new outfit. Necklaces can make a huge difference also. When picking a necklace, keep in mind the type of shirt. If you are wearing a high neckline shirt, you want to wear a longer necklace. If you are wearing a lower cut shirt, you can usually wear either and that is when you look into the shirt itself. If the shirt is a print or has 3D designs, (such as  ruffles) you want to wear a shorter, more simple necklace. It is alright to wear a louder, longer necklace if the shirt is plain or a simple design.
