I've very slowly started to clean out my closet in the past few days so I can get ready to add to my fall wardrobe. I've been pulling out "summer" tops that I never actually wore this summer, jeans that no longer fit and tank tops with holes and adding them to the donation or garbage piles. It's not a fun job but it's necessary before I start adding more items to my closet for the cooler weather. It's also gotten me thinking about what I'll need to pack away when the summer's over and what I can transition into the fall with. Soooo here are my top items that you don't have to say goodbye to quite yet and how to wear them.
Maxi dress/skirt
Maxi's are one of the easiest things to transition into the colder weather because they're long so they already have a little built in warmth. Throw a pullover sweater or a jacket over the dress or add a long sleeve t-shirt or body suit to the skirt for a bohemian vibe this September.
Rompers
I loveeee a good romper. They are so easy and completely adorable. Pair your favorite one with tights and a scarf or a cardigan and booties. It's all about mixing warm layers over lighter pieces when the weather is still in that unpredictable stage.
White jeans
Ahh that old no-white-after-labor-day-rule. TBH I'm pretty sure most ladies I know ignore this rule these days anyway but if you're still unsure about carrying your white items through the fall just take a look at the two outfits above. White jeans can actually be carried all the way through winter if they're done right and cozy flannels and camel colored boots are the way to go.
