I am a huge fan of stripes and I would definitely describe them as a staple in my closet. No matter the season, you will find me wearing lots of stripes. We still have quite a bit of summer left... 4 weeks until school starts and probably another two months of tank tops and shorts. Even so, I can't help starting to think about fall. So to ease my way into fall, while still battling the heat, I thought it would be fun to style some of my summer pieces in ways I can wear now and later...
First up, a typical summer outfit for me... a t-shirt (that just happens to be striped) tucked into a black maxi skirt. I love the easiness of this outfit, which is one of the reasons I recently wore this to a friend's birthday party. It is perfect for a warm summer evening... it's casual and breezy, and just "dressy" enough for a summer party. When wearing a simple outfit like this, accessories are very important. I personally like to either add a statement necklace or earrings, but not usually both.
Next up, my "fall" outfit. I got this utility vest from Gap this past spring and am so glad I got it when I did. I've received so many compliments on this vest and was bummed for my friends when it sold out fast! I am beyond excited to start wearing it again this fall... it's definitely a favorite in my closet! Add some distressed jeans and my booties, and I will definitely be ready for pumpkins, falling leaves, and everything related to fall! I have a feeling I will be wearing this combination a lot come the end of September and October, when I am ready for fall but the temperatures say otherwise.

Love your fall looks. Super cute and those booties are awesome!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! I really need a vest. I never got one which was probably for the best it is WAY too hot for anything like that around here in the spring/summer.
ReplyDeleteI love my striped shirt which is similar to your's! Never thought to whip the black maxi out with it! I need to also get a green utility jacket for the fall. So cute. I love your style posts. I feel like we have many similiar pieces in our closets so it's fun to see new & fresh ways to wear them. Plus, what how a 'real' person wears them!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the stripes and vest combo!
ReplyDeleteI’m a huge fan of stripes as well. I also like them on Mason! Love these – especially with that vest. And those booties you’re wearing with it? So cute!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to get more use out of my cargo vest! Cute booties, Meghan.
ReplyDeleteThat vest is going to be a staple this Fall for me. I hope everyone likes it because it's going to be a weekly wear :)
ReplyDeleteI love these outfits!! That shirt so easily transitions from summer to fall and pairs perfectly with the skirt and the vest. I am always loving when people have those vests but I have yet to get one for myself. I may need to change that this fall!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I cannot say no to a stripe either. Or a utility vest, I get so much wear out of mine, its the perfect pieces to throw on.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I just can't wait for fall!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! I own way too many stripes!
ReplyDeleteI almost wore a similar army green vest with my striped look, but I went for a denim vest instead. Love the looks!
ReplyDeleteI love this now & later approach - stripes are SO versatile, clearly. And I don't want to wish summer away, but I kind of can't wait to comfortably wear my stripes with jeans again... the distressed pair you have here, and the additions of the vest and the great boots, make such a simple but chic combination. Love it! Thanks for joining in :)
ReplyDeleteLove that vest! I also wear a lot of strips and that vest would be great to mix up my look a little bit.
