the perks of a transitional outfit and how to get one

It’s a beautiful day at Central Park as you indulge in your favorite novel. The greenery slowly succumbs to Autumn (well, not yet, but soon!) and suddenly you remember you’ve got a date with the girls at an oh-so-far-away cafe. You have no time to run home and change, and even if you did it would still be a drag! This is why we love the ‘transitional’ outfit that can be worn comfortably all day and serve many purposes. This means more time enjoying your day, less time pondering (or pouting) in front of the closet and of course, less laundry… it’s a beautiful thing.

As we approach Fall it will be fun to start mixing shorts with sweaters – especially ‘blousy’, roomy sweaters if the shorts happen to be itty-bitty. Zip on some hot, black, strappy Louboutins that are ideal for all day use, throw on a long, bohemian necklace, a fringe-fabulous Prada, a laid back yet glamorous neck scarf, some rimless aviators and strut your stuff from the grass to the glass (cappuccino glass, that is). You have just successfully worn one single outfit for the entire day. Can you rise to the challenge? Seriously, how many of you change more than 2 or 3 times a day? Let us know!

      I love transitional wear! It seems as though it stays hotter, longer (especially in Texas) and I love the idea of fall looks/accessories without the wool pants/jackets! Love the sweater and scarf, especially!
    • yes, we don't need to dress in the mundane slacks and other expected pieces that fall has to offer when we can do this! It's especially perfect for the last few weeks of summer when the nights begin getting a little chilly. All Saints (the scarf and sweater) has such special pieces- when I visited the London store I was speechless at the beauty and quality of their designs.
    • I love that gray sweater from All Saints. It looks soft and comfortable, and perfect for one of these transitional days that you mentioned.
