BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK: SIMPLE SUMMER TO FALL FASHION

LEATHER JACKET

BLACK LEATHER JACKET

By now you would have seen an endless barrage of blog posts and TV segments on summer-to-fall fashion how-tos and beauty tips and tricks. Aside from every fashion magazine’s September Issue or the Fashion Bible (as some would say), summer to fall wardrobe transition is indeed le sujet du jour. And I love me some tips and tricks on how to continue wearing my short shorts (alright, sort of long-ish shorts due to the fact that I may have indulge a little too much in Europe in the wine and dine moments of the trip of a lifetime!) or maxi dresses.  But at this point, I feel like we’ve probably seen it all.

It’s all about layers upon layers, isn’t it?

WELCOMING SEPTEMBER AND ALL THE MONTHS THAT END WITH -BER

Whether its under (use tights!) or over (wear cardigan!), I think it’s safe to say, layering is the way to go when the temperature dips cooler by the time all the -BER months take over the calendar. You know it only starts with summer friendly September, then October excites us with Thanksgiving while November promises us Halloween and before you know it… BAM! December gives us Christmas once again!

HOW TO ROCK SIMPLE SUMMER TO FALL FASHION

And like the gift that keeps on giving, it’s winter time all over again!

Oh winter, I fear thee! You scare the living daylights out of me. But… one day at a time. For now, let’s deal with fall and its promise of milder weather and beautiful vista. My plan on summer-to-fall fashion transition? Simple but classic add-ons like my top fave leather jacket from Dublin! A gift from my Bestie Pearl-as, this Bershka piece is quickly becoming a staple in my wardrobe and I’ve been wearing it dress up or dress down.

HOW TO TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL

What else? Transitioning to darker, fall-appropriate colours and switching to less open toe footwear of course! I believe dressing shouldn’t be complicated when life, sometimes, already is. How about you guys, how do you transition from summer to fall?
