Fedora Hat

img_5187_v2It’s official. Autumn is here, and I couldn’t be more excited. Today, in the Bay Area, it’s a bit overcast, making it feel even more like fall. This time of year, all I crave are cozy layers and comfy knit sweaters. However, the weather has been a little wonky the last few weeks, with temperatures jumping from the 80s down to the 50s.

The best way to conquer the unpredictable weather is to slowly transition summer pieces with fall accents–like a fedora hat, neck scarf, or booties. This way you feel you’re appropriately dressed for the season, yet not melting in the heat. A fedora hat can instantaneously elevate any outfit, and make for a fall-ready look!

Transitional Vest

IMG_5054Even though Labor Day is past us, can we all agree it’s still acceptable to wear white? I have to admit, I wear white throughout the year. Take this vest for example–it was a purchase from last winter and one I’ve repurposed through spring, summer and now fall! Even frugal Chris would agree that is a classic piece worth the investment. As we enter September, and near the first official day of autumn–countdown to September 22 begins–layering with a vest can take you into cooler weather looking effortlessly, cozy chic.

A Drapey Poncho

SAM_5716I’ve been swooning over this blush, drapey poncho since I picked it up at the LOFT, during my mom’s visit last month. What do you think? Isn’t it so cute?! The striped neutrals give it a clean, fresh look–perfect for a summer night out. But, I can already envision wearing this with booties and a chunky scarf on a cool, fall evening. As much as I’m enjoying summer, I have to say, I’m equally excited for fall–there is something comforting and a little nostalgic about this time of year that I love!

With a couple of vacations on the horizon, I’m taking mental stock of my outfits and planning what I’ll wear. This dress is definitely making the cut; and let’s be honest, half the fun in travel is planning what to wear! This cuban mosaic-inspired print shouts warm weather, making it the perfect silhouette for a tropical getaway.
