It's easy to cling to summer fever in the desert. Warm days and cold nights equal endless opportunity for my favorite activity: layering. Nothing is more satisfying than piling knits, pairing tights with socks, adding a see-through sweater, a funky jacket... I could go on. So - I'm in easing in slow. Because I simply refuse to stash my summer sale scores for the winter just yet, I'm beefing up my shear layers for the occasional chill and my next few posts will feature outfits sneaking their way into fall with my favorites from my end-of-summer blowout.
Bait Dress - UNIF, Turquoise Lace Un-Lined Bra - Victoria's Secret, Black Slip Skirt - Nasty Gal, Black Fishnet Tights - Urban Outfitters, Greyscale Mixed Media Booties - Sacha London, Reflective Sunnies - Le Specs.
After I scored the cult-coveted Bait Dress at the Nasty Gal End-of-Summer Sale, I couldn't resist taking it out to play a little ;) As a result, I decided to do this series on easing your summer pieces into fall. For those of us clinging to late summer, the trick is to choose more substantial footwear and add sheer layers in heavier textures and darker colors - i.e. fishnets + slouchy knit socks paired with grey suede/mixed texture booties with a chunky heal and platform toe. I love a dark lip for fall; a bold, dark color that compliments your accessories can easily tie a look together even if you're experimenting with psychedelic colors and outlandish patterns. And eyewear? For me, the upcoming season is all about statements. These round blue babies with reflective lenses from Le Specs - another gem and instant favorite from the Nasty Gal end-of-summer Sale - are simply too delicious for me to put away for fall. Reflective lenses = stealing my heart so fast, Le Specs = OBSESSED, if you're looking for rad shades, Le Specs has absolutely got the coolest frames and colors around. This is only the beginning of a beautiful relationship I plan to cultivate well into winter ;)
