9 KEY PIECES TO TAKE YOUR SUMMER CLOTHES INTO FALL

In this weeks 3 ways to wear I shared a few of my favorite ways to take summer dresses, seamlessly,  into fall.  So today I thought I'd share my 9 top pieces to help you transition your closet like a pro!

You probably have something similar to the items I've featured already, but if not, I am absolutely not suggesting that you need to go out and purchase all 9 of them to take your summer pieces into fall!  If you have just one of them, taking your summer pieces into the new season will be a breeze.




9 key pieces to carry your summer pieces into fall
1. LARGE MODAL & COTTON SCARF - NIKI WHITTLE DESIGNS / 2. CROPPED SWEATER - ZARA  / 3.LONG SLEEVE TOP - WHISTLES  / 4. WAIST BELT - ADA / 5. HAT - ZARA / 6. TURTLE NECK - WAREHOUSE  / 7. LEATHER JACKET - OASIS / 8. TIE-NECK BLOUSE - MANGO / 9. METALLIC BOOTS - DUNE

1. A scarf is such a simple way to take your summer outfits into the fall season, and a large leopard print scarf is even better.  It's a classic that will never date and I consider leopard print to be a neutral that pairs well with most outfits.

2.  I find a cropped sweater unbelievably useful in-between seasons.  It's the perfect length to layer over dresses without swamping them, and the mild weather allows them to be worn with jeans, trousers and skirts without the need to layer a longer top underneath.

3.  Every wardrobe should have a few long sleeve tops, in a variety of colors, for layering.  They can be hidden under sweaters for warmth, or layered under shorter sleeves for interest.

4. It's all about the waists this season, but to be honest, I am ALWAYS about the waist.  If you're teaming heavier shoes or boots with a dress or skirt then you'll find a belt in a darker color will balance the outfit and is often the key to pulling your transitional outfit together.

5. A hat is another key transitional piece. They look great worn with summer dresses and are another great piece for tying an outfit together.  Opt for a color that will fit your color closets color palette best.

6. A turtle neck will be a really useful item to layer under dresses and wear with skirts.

7. A leather jacket is a wardrobe staple!  I like a biker style and it suits my shape, too, but if you're not a fan of the biker style, this is the season to find one more suited to your tastes - there are plenty of different styles around from trench coats that tie round the waist, to bomber styles.

8. A light blouse is the perfect layering piece.  I love to layer them under my dresses.

9. A pair of metallic boots is such a great piece for transitional dressing.  Metallic reflect the color you're wearing so metallic footwear will go with pretty much any color you throw at it.
