Transitional looks for the change in the air

It is mid October, and despite the Indian summer that Northern California was enjoying there is a new crispness to the air. How do you dress for this odd transitional weather? For work or play; the goal is to be comfortable, dress appropriately for the season and look stylish!

Summer colors are out, it is fall after all.
Exchange the poppy orange for pumpkin and lilacs for burgundy, flashes of true red are also big this fall which is easy to mix into any wardrobe.
This season Neutrals are important mixed with jewel tones and Metallic’s, especially army green, grey and camel. Keep those light neutrals out, they work great for the warmth in the middle of the day and still look current for fall, while you may want to hold off on too much black for another month or two.
I still love the cropped pant with Gladiator sandals, for this weather wear it with a boyfriend blazer or a short sleeve jacket

Shorts can still work with heels and tights when paired with a ruffled Jacket or a leather Jacket for a more casual look.



Try a skinny Capri Cargo pant with a sophisticated shawl cardigan and a light blousy tunic

You can still wear some of those neutral summer dresses, Pair them with leggings and a chic draped sweater vest. You can also accessorize with a fall ruffled scarf, or an animal print



Classic closed toed pumps are always in style. Right now suede ones look very chic with a pencil skirt. Pair this with a belted sweater set, the layers make it easier to stay comfortable through the temperatures changes in the day.
For Fall Skinny Jeans and boots are still a popular silhouette. Try pairing them with a soft summer blouse during these Indian summer days and add a cropped faux fur jacket for warmth when the sun goes down.
Jeans are also great rolled up to the mid calf with pumps; add a simple T-shirt and a colorful shrug for a hip look no matter what the temperature is.



What piece in your wardrobe is your favorite for these transitional times of the year?
