happy Thursday friends! can you believe the weekend is almost here?! I don’t know about y’all, but I feel like time has been flying by lately. things have definitely been really busy with the blog, the #Nsale, our travel schedule, etc., and it has me thinking about how fall is literally RIGHT around the corner! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for fall fashion, cooler temps, pumpkin everything, and the holidays. With that in mind, I wanted to talk about how important it is to find clothes that can transition well from summer to fall, like this topshop romper!
transition pieces are so important for a lot of reasons. first off, it’s a great way to manage your shopping budget well. it doesn’t really make sense to spend a lot of money on pieces that can only be worn for a small portion of the year. it’s so much better to invest in more timeless items for your wardrobe. for example, I’ve said it before that jeans are something I’m willing to splurge on because I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of them. whether it’s for a summer date night with Michael or a holiday party with friends, quality denim is definitely worth having on hand.
another great way to transition from summer to fall is to get creative with how you style certain things in your closet. I love getting creative with different clothes from season to season– can I layer a cardigan over this dress? would that top work well with a blanket scarf?, etc. there are certain simple tees or dresses I wear literally year round because they work with everything!
this topshop romper is the perfect example of an outfit you can wear in the summer or fall (well, before it gets too cold depending on where you live!). if you follow me on instagram, you know I have been on an olive green kick lately, and this romper is no exception! it’s such a great color on all skin tones and it really works well from season to season. It’s cute with booties/mules (as seen here) or with sandals or wedges for the warmer months. I love that this romper is OTS, making it perfect for warmer months, but has long sleeves so it easily transitions for fall, too. also, how cute are the flowy bell sleeves too?! it’s not always easy to find a comfortable romper that can be worn in summer and fall, but this one definitely meets the criteria!
