Autumn, wear?

It's here. The crisp fall air isn't present just yet, but there's ragweed looming which keeps me sniffling, sneezing, and runny red-eyed. That's how I know the season has changed. My days are heat packed with the sun blazing and in the evening when the sun has gone, I'm stuck shivering in my gladiator sandals. It's not time for full on fall layered looks, so here are my suggestions of a few key pieces to add to your wardrobe to stretch out your summer swag a few more months.

Leggings & printed tights. Blazers & jean jackets. Cardigans, scarves, & boots.

Leggings and printed tights will go great under your summer flowing dress. Throw on a pair of pumps or your ballet flats and your gams will be warmer for the evening breeze. Also, printed tights are all of the rage this fall.. You will be en trend!

For the breezier nights, throw a blazer over your shoulders. It can go on top of your tube tops, tanks, dresses, skirts, and shorts!
Every fab chick should have a jean jacket in her closet. It's a staple. You can rock the jacket the same as the blazer.

I'm sure you have a few cardigans in your closet, especially if you work in an office where the air is turned up so high that it's blowing icicles onto the tip of your nose! Pair that cardigan with a tank and jeans and you are ready for the wind.
The scarf is a simple accessory that will provide color, texture, and warmth to a simple look. You can wrap a scarf around your neck for a chillier evening to go along with your cardigan, blazer, or jean jacket.
And no wardrobe is complete without a fantastic shoe...
A pair of tall boots set the tone for a fall look. You can wear this with bare legs, tights, jeans, and leggings.
A couple of pieces will stretch your summer look so you don't have to pack up the summer gear so soon.
