| While the cooler days and frosty mornings start creeping in, summer days are becoming a hazy memory. As we ease into fall, we slowly retire pieces from our summer wardrobe and grab for the heavy dark colored sweaters and bottoms. Don’t be in such a hurry to pack away all your summer pieces. There are certain ones that should remain in your closet year round. Multipurpose dresses and skirts, some are a must to keep present. It’s time to archive any linen dresses, cotton gauze skirts, and pastel shorts. Your basic sheath dress, strapless, evening dress, reds, denims, burnt oranges, navys and teals should all stay put. Simply add a denim jacket, a black or taupe blazer, or a long cream cardigan. Polish your look with an infinity scarf, in any warm fall hue and you’ve just saved yourself a bundle on new dresses and skirts. Don’t be so quick to bury the tank tops and t-shirts. They are great staples for layering under blazers, jean jackets, and cardigans. Even under sweaters that may have a crochet finish, sheer blouses, tunics or silk blouses and vests. Don’t under estimate the tank. Obvious basics are white, black, navy, taupe and cream. These colors will pair with just about any of your fall colors. We are only changing seasons not quite shoveling snow yet, your instinct to reach for the turtleneck shouldn’t become routine yet. Any cami is worth keeping close at hand, they too can be popped under an array of blouses and crisp buttons down shirts. The cami is also an easy evening look under a motto jacket or cashmere wrap topped with a statement necklace, very chic. The summer/winter exchange doesn’t have to be an overwhelming dreaded event. Take a deep breath of the crisp fall air and gracefully enter the new season while keeping a few summer staples in your fall wardrobe. The colors of the trees are changing and leaves slowly falling. The new season is inviting you to relish in its beauty. |
