This is a hard time of year to dress! I have said it before and I will say it again! I am so tired of my spring and summer clothes since I have been wearing them since April and they seem not quite right for the calendar. This leaves me with a small selection of fall colored clothing that still works for the 90 degree weather!
Here are a couple of recent outfits that I thought looked o.k. and some of my favorite tops that work right now!
I love this blouse. It has a built in tank and then is kind of a poncho on top. I got it last year from Steinmart and it is the perfect blouse for this time of year. I think I should have gone down a size, though. I would love to find more patterns in this style. Hue jeggings and faux leather clogs complete the outfit.
Here are the stars of the last couple of weeks…
The famous Walmart blouse. I actually liked the rust orange version better but knew this would work with my wardrobe.
Give me all the camo, but especially this time of year. This was last year from Versona. I also have a Target camo dress but I have not felt much like dresses and skirts lately.
This adorable (in my opinion) patterned top is several years old from Anthropologie and it was on major sale. This rust color is supposed to be super hot right now, too! I have to wear a cami under it and a cardi over it. But, I did wear it last week and I will show that again below, too!
The Steinmart blouse from the first outfit.
Major sale from Anthro last year. The length is a bit long. Maybe I should hem it, but I really like the color and lightweight sweaterish material. I like the long seam down the front, too.
And, during jeans week I wore the Walmart blouse.
I think the secret is to look for fall colors in lighter weight fabrics. I love, love, love all of the fall colors – wine, olive, mustard, rust – what about you?
What are your transition pieces and what have you been wearing lately?

I remember always being befuddled about what to wear to work during seasonal transitions. Looks like you have the right idea! So glad that the weather is going to be more appropriate for the season soon. During the transitions, I always start making a list of things I need for the coming season. That is always fun.

That is fun! I guess I just don’t have much to choose from right now! I have a long list – lol!

You do look lovely but I am not really a fan of fall colors; some burgundy sure but other than that I’m more a navy and hunger kind of person not so much the olive, mustard and rust tones.

Thank you! I find that I gravitate toward those colors from September – November and then give me all the black, grey, red, green. I actually had my colors done when I was little and it said I could wear both warm and cool tones. I just love bright colors and patterns. My mom was an art teacher!

I love your outfits, but I’m not into fall colors myself… I try though, it’s really popular right now. Yesterday I wore rust colored wide shorter pants, they are really cool but so not me… I’m a jeans girl! (ok, woman…) But I do like camel; for sweaters and coats!
Well, it’s a classic fall day, so today’s outfit will be checked blazer, dark jeans and boots!
Enjoy your day!

Rust is big this season! I love camel with black. It is supposed to cool down tomorrow!
