Hello Change! The Transition From Summer to Fall

It's here! The best time of the year to layer up, mix styles, and have fun with fashion has finally arrived--FALL.

Fall is, of course, a season of change--a time where we find warmth not in temperature but rather in the colors of leaves, roaring bonfires, and bonding with friends and family. It's a time that encourages comfort despite the common cold, wind, and rain; a period that signal a new start rather than an abrupt end. What better way to celebrate and show it off by dressing up?

This outfit serves two purposes: first, as a farewell to summer through the sheer, delicate fabric of this ivory peasant shirt; and second, a large, open welcome to autumn through three of its biggest trends. Take a look at any of the fall 2017 ready-to-wear shows and you'll fine gold, leather, and structure dominating the runway. Metallic anything lends a touch of glam; leather is synonymous with "sleek" and "polished;" and broad shoulders and sharp lapels exude confidence and authority. Paired with a chunky necklace, jeans, and simple flats, this look is effortless.
