Transition

Dress: Gap (old, similar here and here). Shoes: Sam Edelman. Vest: Nordstrom Rack (similar). Tote: Old Navy (similar). Necklaces: Dress Lily c/o, J. Crew Factory. Sunglasses: Rayban. 

Like the rest of the fashion community, I'm itching for fall. Every spring I revel in the sunshine and warmer temps and think to myself, "I will never wish for fall again." And every year in August I get antsy for cooler weather. It's a viscous cycle. Fall is easily my favorite season for fashion because, well layers. I love layering without having to put on a giant parka that ruins the outfit. Also you can wear cute shoes in the fall without freezing your feet off and without worrying about ruining them in the slush/snow. Anyways, where am I going with this? While the temperatures in Minnesota are still summer-worthy, you can start to transition outfits into fall with little touches, like this leather vest. Other ways to transition an outfit into fall: add a denim jacket or booties instead of sandals.

On a different note, I've been buying a ton of stuff for my new apartment (can't wait to move in on the 1st!!) so I've been trying to shop my closet more. Therefore, you will probably be seeing a lot of familiar items in the coming weeks :)

p.s. I told you these were my favorite shoes!
