Transitioning into Fall: Summer Dress

Here is a dress I found at F21 for $23 that I wish I had found earlier in the summer, because I would have worn it everyday. Now that I have it, I want to keep wearing it into the fall.

Love the front cutout!

So I decided to put on an acid wash crop top over the dress. 

Acid wash crop top: F21 $14

Then I added fall pieces: a blazer, a beanie, and some fur-lined booties.

Thrifted blazer: $7
F21 booties: $10

How will you transition into fall?

Goodbye Summer ($50 Challenge!)

Here's a toast to the end of summer, with a tip of the hat to our last heat wave. This was a look I loved over the summer, because it was casual, soft, but put together all at the same time. Also, the entire look was under $40!

I've been wanting a cape for years and have been putting it off because I kept thinking, "What the heck would I wear with a cape?" I thought maybe they were a fun addition to the closet, but I could maybe pair them with one or two pieces that I already owned. The only people I thought who wore capes were superheros, editors-in-chiefs of prominent fashion magazines, and sophisticated fashionistas who enjoyed long walks through the park on crisp autumn afternoons. However, my stubborn longing for my sophisticated, romantic stroll through the park forced me to come up with a more versatile way of viewing this classic wardrobe staple.

Here's one from H&M that I absolutely fell in love with. Cute, sophisticated, and most importantly, affordable!

Cape  $59.95

It's amazing what a cape can do to an outfit. No matter how sloppy or stained your top is that day, throw your cape on right over it, and you suddenly appear effortlessly chic.
