I am so tired of my summer clothes. People are probably tired of seeing my summer clothes. September should give us reason to start dressing for Fall, but it's just TOO HOT. Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to find ways to incorporate my Fall pieces, while still wearing things cool enough for 100+ degree weather.
This trend is sort of a fresh take on the dress + cardigan trend I see a lot of women wear. This pairing can be incorporated into many different wardrobes, and can work for many different occasions (work, weekends, events etc...). The main idea being, take a summer dress (preferably one with some volume), and add a structured jacket (it could be a short, 3/4 sleeve jacket, or a blazer). As long as the dress (or skirt) as some "flounce" it should balance out the structure of the jacket. Also, the longer the skirt, the shorter the jacket needs to be. This jacket adds to the feeling of Fall with the tailoring and embellishments, while the closed-toe heels and quilted bag bring the whole look together. You can also substitute the heels for a flat loafer, or some ankle boots.
Oh, and ditch the sandals, your feet will be better off anyway.
