Welcome another perfect summer-to-fall transitional outfit. This grey cardi & white cropped denim look would have been the perfect thing to wear on a summer day with sandals and minus the sweater. Adding another layer on top and swapping out the sandals for ankle booties makes it ideal for wearing as the temperatures start to drop, also proving another way that you can wear white after Labor Day (check out my other post on the subject here).
I think transitional dressing really revolves around layering. A cropped jacket or knit cardigan are great for throwing on over a dress or tank top. Tights and ankle or knee-high boots can add coverage so you can keep wearing skirts and dresses towards the end of the year. Throwing on a crew-neck knit sweater over a button-down shirt adds warmth and an adorable preppy vibe. It’s also another great chance to accessorize with knit beanies, chunky scarves and textured tights. Sorry, I just love fall dressing so much, sometimes I start to ramble! Anyway, I really adore this outfit for how comfortable it is and how it takes some typically summer items that you might normally think to store away after September, and gives them longevity throughout the year.
