With Labor Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about transitioning to fall clothing (yay!) and starting to put the summer clothes back in the closet until next year. One of my favorite pieces of clothing for the cooler months is my J.Crew leather jacket so it should come as no surprise that it's the first thing I am pulling out this year. It is such a great staple for transitioning as it is great for layering and warmth during those cooler nights. A leather jacket and a light scarf scream fall to me and I can't wait to keep wearing this combo as we head into September and October.

Fall Transitional Pieces

Necklace/ Sweater/ Boots/ Jeans/ Skirt/ Bag

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, my brain is slowly accepting that summer is ending and fall is upon us. The cooler mornings this past week really helped me realize that it is just about time for scarves and boots. While I am really excited about the cooler weather this year (yep, the humidity has made me less of a fan of summer) I am still not ready to fully give up on my summer wardrobe.
The key to wearing summer pieces into the cooler months is all about transitional pieces. A few of my favorites are listed above. They can help take just about any piece in your closet and help you wear it for a few more weeks.
My very favorite piece to help transition to the cooler weather is a statement necklace. I find myself buying them more and more and incorporating them into my daily attire. I think they are a great way to dress up a casual top and can really help change the look of an outfit.
I have become a huge fan of animal sweaters lately. No matter what the animal, I find that I need it in my closet. Wearing them with a pair of shorts is a perfect transitional look.
Leather is EVERYWHERE these days and I think a leather skirt is the perfect way to wear the look without being too hot. Even though the weather has been a little cooler, we are still seeing mid-80s during the day around here which really prohibits the wear of leather jackets. These skirts go with just about everything and are a great addition to any closet.
