Transition Style Shopping

( Via Inslee )

It is almost time to step away from the flip-flops and shorts, pack away the linen dresses and start thinking about your transitional wardrobe. The problem is, it's still hot!  Stylist/designer Rachel Zoe  helps us to transform our wardrobe from Summer to Fall on The Zoe Report. For more inspiration, I did a little shopping for us. 

HERE: 12 Fall Looks That Will Keep You Cool

Missoni Rib Knit Sheath

Missoni's knits are always lightweight, so there will be no over heating in these signature stripes. I just love the fearless use of color and pattern. 

Nordstrom 

Anna October Dress, Maison Margiela Pants, Lanvin Scarf & St. Laurent Sandals

Wear this jewel toned cotton dress now and add the fully fashioned pants when the weather turns cooler.  This is a very fashion forward look.

MATCHES Fashion

Ten Sixty Sherman Top & Articles of Society Jeans

Of course, denim is seasonless, and these are the perfect length for ankle wrap sandals. The top is breezy and gauzy in a fall-ish pretty print. The bare shoulders will keep you cool.

Nordstrom   

Tiered Fatigue Dress
As seen in "The Freak Out List," at J.Crew. Wear this as shown now. When the chill comes in late September and October, layer with a long sleeve tee.
JCrew

DVF Fredrica Colorblock Slip Dress

My first Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress was in college. I did this same trick with it back in the day. It really is a genius way to stretch your wardrobe.  Wear this silk slip dress now to beat the heat. Add a skinny turtleneck in late September or October.  

DVF 

Farrow Denim Dress

Once again the off the shoulder dress is a cool option for this time of year.  The dark denim and long sleeves mark a change of season. This is a budget buy!

Need Supply 

Marilyn Dot Skirt

Playing with patterns always elevates ones' mood. Add a fresh off the shoulder peasant shirt and you are ready for anything.

Anthropologie 

Jazzy Peep Toe Pumps
Just add suede and take denim right into Fall. These berry beauties will still show off your pedicure, too.
Nine West

Leanna Lace Coat

Exquisite in guipure lace, this topper is an investment piece for all seasons. Wear it now over a sleeveless black sheath. Pair it later with black skinny leather pants, as shown. 

Ralph Lauren 

Striped Duster Coat

A lightweight sweater for the seasons! Great with neutrals now, change it up later with dark denim or Fall's jewel tones.

Boston Proper

Josie Natori Double Knit Jersey Front Tie Dress
Take Spring's little black dress (now on sale) and add leggings and ankle booties. Later, just add a turtleneck. A very "downtown" look. Love it!
Natori  

Red Leather Cutout Coat
This will be your standout piece for all seasons. Wear it early Fall with your sleeveless LBD. Then layer it over a cashmere sweater and Wolford leggings when a chill is in the air.
Fendi
