It’s hard to believe we’re already midway through September. And as we approach the fall equinox, I’m filled with thoughts of leaves changing, temperatures dropping, and the reintroduction of the ever-controversial pumpkin spice latte. Is it too early to put my decorative pumpkins out??

Another subject we’ve been mulling over is how to update our wardrobe during those awkward days between summer and fall that are not quite hot and not quite cold. One day we’re leaving the house in just a Mila Maxi tank dress, and the next day we may feel like we need extra layers to stave off a slight chill in the air. So, how do we make the most of all the breezy Summer styles we invested in earlier this year? What's the best way to update those styles to make them Fall friendly?

We've got a few tips on how to transition your Summer wardrobe for Fall.

 

It’s all about the layers. Maybe it’s layering a dress with tights, throwing a sweater on over a slip dress, or layering your Summer blouse with a cardigan. Now is the time to invest in cozy knits.

Add accessories. Boots, scarves, and bags can make a big impact. Signal Fall with texture, patterns and prints, and color.

Invest in essentials that are season-less. A classic slim fit ribbed tee or a lace trim camisole are perfect worn on their own during hotter days and nights, but these basics are just as essential worn under heavy knits during colder months.
