Fashion Friday – Making summer clothes work for fall
Categories:
Happy Friday everyone!
After doing a bit of thinking and bouncing some ideas off of the Mister, I have an announcement to make in regards to Fashion Friday.
Instead of holding a contest every week — we’re now going to do it once a month. This will give people a longer window to send in their favorite photos and in turn, I’m sure we’ll have more participants to showcase! In addition, the prize bag we’ll be BETTER! Note: I typically send participants a cool granola bar, some tasty hot tea bags, a sample of lotion or face wash and maybe a fashion magazine (or something of the likes). Now that I’m only sending out one prize pack a week, you can expect it to be kicked up a notch 
— How does this sound to everyone? Please be honest. I’m happy to go back to the old way, I just thought this would be easier for everyone involved.
That being said, I’ll still be posting my personal photos and sharing some fashion trends and advice each week.
I’m excited for this change because instead of having to focus everything on the contest, I’ll be able to do more of what I originally thought I’d be doing in this section, and what it’s intended for - talking real fashion! What works right now? What doesn’t? What works best for your shape? These are the types of issues I’ll be addressing. In addition, feel free to email me throughout the month with questions, etc.!
This week, we’ll be talking about what summer pieces can transition smoothly into FALL. Yes, before packing away all your summer favorites, think about what can work into your fall/winter wardrobe for what I like to call ‘transitional outfits.’ You’ll be surprised how you can ‘make it work’ (yay Tim Gunn!) with what you have to create a completely new look.
For example:
Jersey dress
+
Gladitors
+
Summer Bag
+
Colorful bangle
=
SUMMER!
But take the same jersey dress and add…
+
Belt (Gucci!)
+
Brown Bomber Jacket
+
Brown boots
=
Fall!
How to make other key pieces work into fall
Tank tops – Layer underneath a long cardigan — add some chunky jewelry
Floral dress – Add a belt, cardigan and ankle booties
Burmuda shorts – Wear on top of textured tights with a turtle neck or button down down shirt. Layer a tailord vest or jacket on top. Round out the look with heels.
Mini dress – Wear with opaque tights and knee high boots. Add a long cardigan for extra deminsion.
What is your favorite way to make summer clothes work into fall?
(sorry for no personal photo this week – the Mister took a photo of me this morning that didn’t come out right due to strange lighting!)
