[AD- Paid Partnership] With the cool summer we've had I'm kinda sad that summer is coming to an end. I feel like I still need a few hot days in the sunshine before the weather changes, I can count on one hand how many nice summer days we had this summer. On the other hand, if the days are going to be cool they might as well be cold enough for me to be able to wear my fall clothes so I guess I'm ready for the change. The transition between seasons is always tricky so I try to implement some fall colours in summer styles, then I add one fall piece in a summer colour. Does that make sense? This outfit is the PERFECT example of how I like to transition my wardrobe from summer to fall. Starting with the top, I am wearing a muted light blue short sleeves blouse with tiny polka dots. The fabric and style of the shirt is summery but the colour is more muted and its a colour I would wear in the winter. For my skirt I am wearing this wool skirt in a cream colour. The material is more appropriate for the fall/winter but the colour blends in perfectly in the summer.
However my favourite part of this outfit is the shoes ! I am wearing the Jenny oxfords from the new American Duchess collection. The are out for pre-order now ! I am in LOVE with these shoes because they are perfect for the end of the summer and all through the fall. I know I'll be wearing them non stop. Its inspired by shoes worn in the 1940s through the 1960s. This pair is in the Chestnut Brown shade but it also comes in different shades like; Black, Cherry Red, Goldenrod Yellow, and Soft white. I personally have my eye on the soft white ! They would be perfect for summer!
As for accessories I grabbed these cream knit gloves. I love wearing gloves I think they are very underrated! The only problem I have with them is that we live in a touch screen world so I constantly have to take them on an off if I want to take a photo on my phone among other things. I wish my phone was a bit more mechanical? and had an actual button to take photos or text. But thats just me being whiny lol. I hope you guys liked this look ! How do you usually transition your outfits from summer to fall?
