September fashion is usually very tricky to perfect; it is almost time to say farewell to summer, yet autumn is not upon us just yet . The crisp, cool breezes make the air too chilly for tank tops and shorts but it is not yet cold enough for jeans and sweaters. So what is a fashionable young adult to do in this awkward phase of seasonal madness? This self-proclaimed Fashionista has all of the answers for us.
A quick fix to the weather confusion problem is to bring in the best of both worlds — soft shorts and button downs, that is. Soft shorts are a lightweight, versatile piece that can go from summer to fall in a snap. They can easily be paired with a sweater or button-down blouse. Button-downs are available in a wide variety with everything from silk to chambray to flannel.
I absolutely love the layering look for the fall season. This Fashionista layered a white crocheted tank top under her chambray button-down for maximum style. Picking up on the latest trend, she is also wearing a layered necklace. They come in many styles, but you can also get the look by layering multiple necklaces of different lengths. Floppy hats have been in all summer and this Fashionista carried this trend over to the fall. It is more in-season as it is black and made of a thick material. She tops off her look with Tory Burch black flat sandals, which are a staple piece for a summer to early fall wardrobe.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “As we head into the fall season, the shorts can easily be swapped for a pair of black jeans and the sandals for a pair of combat or riding boots. This outfit is comfortable, fashionable and versatile. Basically, it is a perfect 10.”
