SUMMER TO FALL STYLE

Wear Now Wear Later - transitional trends for Summer to Fall

 

The shift between season is sartorially-speaking always the trickiest to me. The weather has never caught up but you’re craving what’s new. But practically-speaking transitional pieces are some of the hardest working in your wardrobe because they span the seasons. Here – a few of my favorites that will be so good once fall comes, but are great now too. There’s a seventies meets victorian romantic meets mod prep thing happening in fashion (okay maybe not all at once..) and I’m really on board. An olive green satchel bag? Absolutely. An embroidered mini skirt? Sign me up. Fall fashion should feel FUN, so why not start that party a little early, right?

SUMMER TO FALL: ANTHROPOLOGIE FLORAL OFF THE SHOULDER TOP

The Steele Maiden: Summer to Fall Transitional Pieces with Anthropologie floral off the shoulder top

If you were in New York City this weekend, then I think you understand that ‘hot’ would be an understated way to describe it. With ‘feels like’ temperatures teetering around 110 degrees its hard to believe that Fall will ever come. As someone who loves Summer I’m certainly not rushing it.. but like it or not, it will get cooler. And when that happens, I’m prepping my wardrobe now with a few key transitional pieces (like this floral off the shoulder top) that work for scorching days now and crisp nights later.

TRENDING: WINE-HUED HANDBAGS

Fall Trends: Wine-hued handbags

I’m usually more of a shoe lady myself, but lately I’ve found myself crushing hard on handbags. And not just any.. but wine-hued handbags in particular. This little quilted crossbody has been featured in all three of my latest outfit posts (here, here and here), but I love the idea of a luxe, tasseled tote or in a glossy croc texture. Here a few of my favorites. Best served with a glass of red.

HOW TO SHOP: NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

I talk a good bit about sales around here, this one. This one is different. The thing about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is that it’s not last season, leftover goods. It’s brand new, Fall season plus designer items and seasonless classics that you’re hard pressed to otherwise find marked down. In short, this sale is major. Last year, I waited until the sale opened to the public (July 17) and some of my favorites were already sold out, so this year I am getting in on the Early Access (open to Nordstrom Card Holders – I have the debit version which means you only spend what you have #winwin).  Below – my game plan to nailing the sale this time around plus hover over the images above to get the details directly. Happy Shopping!

1. Top Fall Trends: There’s going to be major Seventies vibes again next season, and I’m definitely on board. This little suede skirt will go with everything in my closet and my hat collection is begging for this new friend.

2. Seasonless Classics: Now is the time to grab quality items you’ll wear year-round. Hunter Rain Boots and a black cross-body bag are closet essentials.

3. Designer Picks: If you’ve had your heart set on a Kate Spade Satchel, higher-end makeup (like this exclusive Nars Lip Pencil Set) or premium denim brands (these Paige skinny jeans are on my wish list) now’s your chance to grab ’em!
