Hey Guys!
Though it’s still very much summer here in Georgia, it’s already getting pretty nippy in other parts of the country (and the world)!
If you don’t want to completely ditch your summer wares, we found FIVE ways you can get more mileage by mixing summery separates with cold weather accents!
Check it:
1. Keep your mini, add a boot:
Just because the weather’s colder doesn’t mean you have to fold up your mini skirts and dresses. Take a cue from the ever stylish Kim Kardashian and Rihanna and wear an over-the-knee boot with your favorite thigh skimmer.
2. Layer your tanks and tees under sweaters and jackets:
There’s nothing more alluring than a pop of color or fun t-shirt under a classic blazer! Let your favorite summer tops go the distance by wearing them under wrap cardigans, soft wool knits or tailored jackets.
3. Pop on pumps or boots with your favorite capris:
I have very…generous calves, so any help I can get stuffing my pants into knee high boots the better! Capris are the perfect length for close fit knee highs. And if it’s still pretty hot where you are, you can work a pump with a capri to elegant effect.
4. Fall in love with leather:
Leather jackets, shorts, and skirts are great transitional pieces. Pop a leather jacket over a t-shirt, or wear leather shorts with your favorite tank. You’ll look edgy and fall ready.
5. Be courageus! Consider socks with sandals or stockings with shorts:
Don’t want to pack away your sandals or shorts?
Fall runways were aflame with the socks and sandals look and Parisian girls adore the stockings with shorts look. They’re not necessarily ‘trendy,’ but you can work it.
Take a chance!
And all you leggings lovers can rejoice! Those work all year round.
Do you guys have anything to add?

You know I saw a girl with knee high socks and shoes and immediately thought she was European because it was a style I haven’t seen here, but she pulled it off well. Great tips!

I’ve been rocking stockings with shorts for a couple of years now and I love it. I’m in need of thigh high boots for fall.

I am all about layering. Nothing like a cardigan or a denim jacket over a summer dress. Tights are also my best friends. No reason why you can’t rock your dresses throughout the fall!
