I expect (and pray for!) a long Indian summer, but fall will hit and with money tight for almost everyone, here are the four key pieces you need to ease your minidresses, shorts, rompers, tanks, and peep-toes into the cold weather to come.
1. Leggings and/or Opaque Tights
Don't pack away your shorts, rompers, and minis once the temps start to drop. "Winterize" them by sliding on a pair of opaque tights (LOVE these rock candy-print tights by Look from London) or leggings. Thanks to the plethora of options designers whipped up for the great '80s comeback -- exposed zip and "scrunch" details, print leggings have emerged as one of fall's "star" pieces. Invest in a few and rock them under minidresses, rompers and shorts or wear them instead of jeans with a turtleneck layered under your fave boyfriend tee.
Think of a fitted knit turtleneck as your cool weather shell. Wear it under a slouchy tee, tank or vest and with your favorite pair of jeans. Fearless fashionistas should try rocking one under a bright/print maxi dress.
You heard it here first: The double-breasted cardigan and boyfriend blazer are the new jacket -- at least in transition weather. Invest in one that's chic enough for evening events like this white 525 America cardigan (yes, you can[!] wear white after Labor Day... what's fly is fly all year round), and get one that will go with your more casual outfits, like this boyfriend blazer by Alvin Valley.
