Now that the days are getting cooler (for some of us), and the kids are back to school, we’re slowly beginning the transition to the new season. But it doesn’t always happen seamlessly. It’s not like one day you wake up and everything is set in stone for fall, but it’s definitely a transgression of understanding new trends, picking what you like, and of course, working with the weather to start incorporating the full switch to fall fashion. Today we’re discussing some summer trends that you can make work into the beginning of fall and how to blend new and old styles so you don’t have to break the bank right away to continue being a fashionista.

A favorite is taking that maxi dress you lived in all summer and adding a few simple accessories to make it into a brand new outfit. Even if it’s in a bright summer tone like coral, blue, or a floral print, by adding a neutral colored blazer, belt, and or scarf you can create a whole new feeling.
