Even though the calendar says September, here in Charleston, SC the temperature still feels like summer. Fall fashions are always my favorite, but it can be frustrating to figure out what to wear when the stores and fashion magazines are inspiring you to wear Fall clothing.
It may be Fall, but it still feels like summer outside. Easy ways to feel fashionable for Fall are to:
• Play with Color.
-Use darker “Fall” colors in your wardrobe and accessories.
-Wear colors that are considered to be on trend for the season.
-Don’t banish “summer” colors, try mixing them with other fall pieces.
• Experiment with layers.
-Adding a lightweight layer to a typical summer piece makes it fall ready.
-Examples: cardigan or jacket over your favorite tank, tights and turtleneck with your favorite summer dress.
• Change up your accessories.
-Pack away summer specific bags (straw, plaid, summery fabric) and start using a great leather handbag.
-Slowly wean yourself from your tired flip flops and change them out for your ballet flats.
It’s really been hard here in Charleston to dress for Fall when it’s 98% humidity and 90 degrees. I’ve found that wearing more fall colors, putting away the flip flops and summer dresses has helped a great deal. Once I did that, I realized I had more options than I thought.
It is amazing how simply making a small change can afford you more outfit options that you arleady had in your own closet! I’m glad making a small change has helped you feel more fashionable this fall. That is what is so fun about style. If you constantly challenge yourself to think outside of your usual comfort box, you will keep coming up with new and different ways to wear things.
I’ve been looking for tips just like these! I’m always too cold or too hot and I can’t seem to find a happy medium during the Fall. I definitely am going to try and experiment with layers a bit more. I like the look and it’s easy to take off layers. My question to you is: Let’s say you have a sweater on, a scarf on, and a camisole on. You get hot and don’t want the sweater anymore. What do you do with the sweater? I can never find where to put my sweater, it ends up just causing me trouble.
