Working the summer to fall fashion transition

September 11, 2015

Ugh… It’s hot, very hot. It’s hard to imagine Fall and all of its great trends are right around the corner, but we can almost see it with every retailer offering luxurious sweaters, coats, and cold weather ware. September can be kind of a tricky month fashion wise because we while we are so ready to embrace Fall’s hottest looks, it seems mother nature has other plans. So what are some great pieces for the summer to fall transition?! Here are some of my favorite looks you can wear now and later.
Fringe- A huge trend for spring with the revival of all things 70’s, fringe isn’t going anywhere come Fall. Great news for me since I absolutely love the look! For the warmer months, look for a killer suede heel with fringe detail paired with a white boho sundress. Via Spiga’s Eilish t-strap heels in bright plum are my current faves.

You can also work this trend with spring’s must-have backpack. Rebecca Minkoff’s Julian Fringe backpack is an everyday bag that is actually functional and fabulous!

Come (real) Fall, look for fringe details on actual clothing pieces. Maje’s black leather fringe skirt looks incredible with everything from a white T-shirt to a yummy off the shoulder cashmere sweater.

Whether you’re a shoe girl or not it is impossible not to fall head over heels (hehe) for fringe booties. I am coveting of the Giuseppe Zanotti’s Alabama fringe pair- killer with skinny jeans or a midi dress.

Distressed denim is another big trend that is carrying over from spring. Jeans can be a hard sell sometimes in the warmer months, but I swear to God those holes we pay extra for actually give you some ventilation!

Wear them now with your favorite lived-in white T-shirt and Birkenstocks. That’s right I said Birkenstocks! As soon as the temperature drops throw on your favorite suede booties and a madras plaid shirt, another Fall favorite!

Military inspired looks were huge on the fall runways as well. The best way to salute the style right now is with anything in the army green pallet. Ramy Brook makes an incredibly gorgeous army green blouse that would look killer with distressed denim cut offs or white jeans now. Then you can layer underneath a leather or plaid wool jacket and wear this top well into the winter as well.

As soon as the weather cools enough for coats, the military look is where are going to find your must have topper. In Southern California it will never get cold enough to need a full on utilitarian wool coat (as gorgeous as they are!), but MOTHER offers a super cool cargo jacket that that is a perfect combo of military tough and chic.

So hang in there ladies- it is almost sweater weather; but in the meantime, let your favorite warm weather staples do double duty!

Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You c Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You can! The key is not going overboard and pairing it with neutral colors like white and camel. Still hesitant? Start with pink lipstick (I swear nothing wakes up a tired face more than a little swipe of lipstick)  or in your accessories like a hat or handbag and then work your way into clothing!

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look.

Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!
