Denim & Booties

“Autumn is a second spring, when every leaf is a flower.”

It feels like 5 minutes ago that I was sitting on a beach, but as I have been sitting at my sons baseball game in the evenings the weather has already started to turn!

While I am always sad as the weather starts to get colder and the nights get longer, there is always something that keeps me feeling optimistic.  No, it’s not that the Holidays will soon be here, it’s that I will be able to start wearing jackets, sweaters, boots, and other great Fall and Winter staples.  For me, the beginning of any season is something that I look forward to – just because of this!

I knew that last night’s baseball game was not going to end until it was almost dark, so I had to make sure I was wearing something that was comfortable as well as moderately warm.  I love all the colored jeans, and rust is such a great Fall color.  Denim looks great with many colors – in the summer a great “go to” is white jeans with a denim top, but I love incorporating into other season’s colors – like these rust jeans.  The booties are a great finishing touch – bear in mind that if you are wearing booties, you don’t want to have your pants bunch up at the hem, so turn them up and allow the booties to be seen.  I am just about to the point where I am done wearing sandals and ready to break into my Fall/Winter closet.

As you start to transition into a Fall wardrobe, there are some items that you can bring from your Spring/Summer wear.  My favorite is a bomber jacket, it’s light enough to be worn in the summer, but if you layer with heaver tops underneath, it also works for Fall.  The great thing about these jackets is that you can actually dress them up so they transition seamlessly into business styles or parties.  Even a Military style jacket can look amazing with something a little more formal.  Rompers are also something that can be brought into your Fall wardrobe – they can be worn with tights, boots and even a long-sleeved top underneath…I have seen many people wear these and they look amazing.

Tips for Fall – take a look at what you have in your closet and consider what you can keep and what you need to store or give away…I know I will!
