Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Transitional Fall Outfit

September 8, 2017 by Katie Haller

I’m so excited for fall.  I know that I talk about it a lot, but fall is my favorite season for fashion.  I just love all the neutral colors and layering pieces.  It’s hard to really embrace the fall fashion when it’s still 100 degrees outside.  The weather plays a big part in what you wear.  That’s why this fall, I really want to focus on sharing a lot of transitional fall looks.  I mean, in Las Vegas, we transition into fall until it’s Christmas time.  Then once it’s winter, we finally get to wear all our fall clothes comfortably.

For today’s transitional fall look, I pulled this tan lightweight sweater from my closet and paired it with my favorite pair of shorts from this summer.  I love the color of this sweater and it’s the perfect kind of sweater to wear when it’s still warm outside.  I love how it looks with this salmon-colored statement necklace.  I wore this combo a lot when I first moved to Las Vegas over 2 years ago (older post here) and I’m hoping to bring it back this fall.

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
