transitional wardobe from summer to fall

Transitioning your Summer wardrobe into Fall is a bit overwhelming because frankly who wants to let go of our favorite comfortable and relaxed Summer dressing.  Fall has tricky weather; some days may be chilly inviting you to cozy up in a chunky sweater while others may still bring some heat with them and all we feel like doing is stay under the AC.  The crisp cool Fall weather doesn’t call for tons of layer of heavy wool and fake fur yet, but we can’t solely wear the oh-so-light soft summer outfits either.  With this unpredictable kind of weather, it’s crucial to keep the right transitional fashion pieces in our wardrobe to help us transition into Fall weather smoothly.

When it comes to Summer-to-Fall transition pieces, one keynote to keep in mind is to keep those transitional Fall items of lightweight fabric in an Autumn color palette.  With the right clothes to keep us comfortable, we can start enjoying all Autumn has to offer, the fall foliage, the pumpkin spice latte, and the crisp air.  So before you begin filing away your summer pieces, set your midi skirts and maxi dresses items aside, you’ll still need them.  We can’t be more excited about this year’s Fall fashion trends.

Labor Day Weekend is here.  This is a long weekend Y’all in which we have the opportunity to wear a few different types of Labor Day outfits in possibly many kinds of occasions.  There will be the regular barbecues over at friend’s house, the casual visit to a park, and last but not least a favorite of mine, Sunday brunch.  All that is more enjoyable when our outfits are well planned and weekend-ready.  On my nearest future of activities, there lies a 7 o’clock Japanese dinner reservation, a Saturday morning gym duty and an afternoon digging out weeds in our backyard, (yuck) and finally a Sunday brunch ending in a German afternoon.  Hence I’m starting to start aligning my Labor Day outfits.

The best part of these Labor Day fashion pieces is that many of them you most likely have them already in your closet.

Fall jackets, Utumn jackets, coats

I know many summer people prefer to not think about fall jackets, but it’s better to be early than late.  It will be time soon to put our summer dresses, mini skirts and open shoes in the back of our closets.  The only consolation to that is the fact that the best part about Fall weather is indeed Fall fashion and more precisely, layering jackets and coats which safeguards us from the cooler temperatures.  What’s chicer than an elegant Autumn outfit which consists of skinny wool pants, a pair of chic slouchy boots and an Autumn coat to layer on top…

Fall jackets, Utumn jackets, coats

We already stated last week that one of 2018 Fall trends is inspired in the 80’s fashion. Nonetheless, there are many options for Fall jackets and coats this Fall, from belted jackets, shearling accents, and the forever classic plaid coat.

I know what you are feeling; you are frightened that the big hair, bold neon colors and big puffy shoulders from the 1980’s are coming back right at you, but don’t fret, the more is more approach is only for the Runways.  Fall fashion’s biggest trend is a significant influence on the 80’s fashion but this time around the take on the excess of the decade is perfectly civilized with some restraints.  Pair one of these 80’s inspired fashion pieces with the always stylish skinny jeans for a more updated look.

Two Tropical-Influenced Fashion Brands With Major Success.  Rebecca De Ravenel, left, and Johanna Ortiz.

I’ve been seeing a significant Tropical influence in Fashion for the past year or two, and I love everything I see.  From Johanna Ortiz’s dramatic floral ruffle dresses and separates inspired on the diversity of Colombia’s nature and geography to Rebecca de Ravenel’s latest coral inspired earrings.  “Being surrounded by its tropical landscapes, dramatic mountains, and its huge variety of plants, birds… provides constant inspiration.”  Johanna Ortiz

This latest tropical inspired fashion style can also be found in tableware as it can be spotted in many online favorite stores.  Many people may think of only patterns when it comes to Tropical style, but it’s more than just patterns and graphics.  This latest version of The Tropics shifts away from the pattern over pattern approach to focus on a more cosmopolitan sense where materials take center stage in the form of flirtatious silhouettes with a European sensibility.
