Forever 21 Fall Transition Finds 8.19.2015

Anytime we're transitioning to a new fashion season I usually pick up a handful of affordable items to essentially tide me over until I can buy investment-type pieces here and there throughout the season. Forever 21 is always one of the first places I look for affordable fashion, and they have so many cute transitional pieces right now. A few of my favorite ways to transition from summer to fall are light neutral pieces that I can layer under cardigans like this and this, distressed denim, and of course a few cheaper trendy pieces like this top (earth tones + 70s vibes = major 'do' for fall).

Are you ready to transition your wardrobe yet?? I'm not ready for the weather to cool off, but I am looking forward to fall fashion!

August Wish List 8.11.2015

Top | Earrings | Dress

Sunglasses | Eyeshadow Palette | Lipstick ('creme cup')

Jeans (3 colors & on sale) | Hat (only $12 + 3 colors!) | Bag (also love this & this for less)

Scarf | Flats (or love these classic flats) | Skirt (just purchased! only $12)

My shopping focus this month and next is going to be all about transitional pieces and thinking ahead to fall! At this point I'm about set on summer pieces with the exception of picking up a few things that are super on sale now (like the classic Levi's 501 cutoffs that are 40% off here & here). Color-wise, I'm completely in fall earth-tone mode as you can see! Olive green has always been a favorite of mine, but it's especially big this year and pairs really nicely with cream, camel and taupe tones. 

A few things to pull out...

-I'm absolutely loving suede and canteen-style bags for fall! This Rebecca Minkoff combination of the two is pretty much perfection. I haven't decided if the price tag is right for me for a more trendy bag, so I'll be watching for good alternatives. I desperately need a fall bag (or two) though!

-I finally found a great pair of distressed skinny jeans (seen in this post), but now I want a looser pair of distressed jeans with that perfect lived-in look and feel. I love their relaxed-chic vibe with flats. Which leads me to...

-Lace-up flats. Ridiculously chic and cool. I'm obviously not going to be able to buy the Aquazurra flats, but these and these are great alternatives for less.

-Fall/winter hats are my s**t. I always want to wear my wool and felt wide-brim hats every single day when it starts cooling off. I recently picked up this hat for a whopping $12 and it's adorable! Highly recommend it if you're on a budget. It has a very structured brim (vs. floppy), which I like best on myself. I also discovered this Zara scarf and can't stop thinking about it. I don't think I can pull off the bandana trend/don't quite get it, but the scarf gives a little of that western feel in a slightly less risky form. Sadly, it's probably the very last thing I need to spend $50 on (but I may just buy it anyway)!

Let me know what trends you're shopping at the moment! I definitely don't want summer to end, but at the same time I'm really looking forward to fall fashion!

fall transitions 9.26.2013

 Top: Asos (sold out | love this one) | Skirt: H&M (old | love this skirt for fall)

Booties: Target | Bag: Phillip Lim for Target (sold out)

Scarf: Aldo (love these infinity scarves) | Watch: Fossil

Sunnies: c/o StyleLately | Silver bracelet: c/o StyleLately

I'm fully embracing fall and all of its wonderful trends, but I'm also trying to squeeze in every last bit of wear out of my skirts and dresses! Besides gradually switching over to a fall color palette, I've been transitioning all of my pieces with my accessories! Booties and scarves are my favorite way to achieve this look (I'm a huge fan of both if you can't tell). I have to admit, this is one of my favorite transitional looks to date, and it's perfect for work, which is always a plus.

Don't forget to enter my Stella & Dot giveaway! There are still a few days left + there will be two winners!
