when i was in school, making the transition from summer to fall was always bittersweet. while i loved school (i really did, i used to cry when i had to take a sick day!), saying goodbye to summer vacation was never easy. now that i’m an adult, i relish in fall’s triumphant return. mostly because it no longer signifies the return of tests and homework, but rather chilly days, tailgates, and my favorite articles of clothing. but just because the calendar might dictate autumn’s arrival, here in san diego at least, the weather doesn’t always get the memo. so sometimes we have to compromise -pairing one summery item with one (or more) piece(s) from our fall collection. if you’re stumped on how to transition some of your summer staples into the upcoming season, i’ve dug up three outfits from the archives that fit the bill:

 

layer a flannel under a denim dress

 

 

similar hat || similar dress || similar flannel || justin boots

 

pair a sweater with denim shorts

 

 

similar sweater || j.crew factory shorts || natalie borton necklace (similar)

similar flats || hobo bag (c/o)

 

throw a cozy sweater over a swing dress

 

 

similar sweater || similar dress || steve madden boots || hobo bag (c/o)

natalie borton necklace (sold out) || similar sunglasses || michael kors watch
