Layering is Key for Summer to Fall Transition
Fall lasts just a month in Fairbanks. Thus, I do not invest in fall clothes, but try to get away with a combination of summer and winter clothes. The printed dress has multiple colors. Thus, it is easy to add a variety of my cardigans. Here I took a black cardigan and black tights to get the insulation needed on a fall day in Fairbanks. I accessorized with my fall sandals that pick up a color of the dress and the bag. Look here for a guide on how to maintain great style when layering.
Take-home message: Add items from the cold season to create adequate insulation.

How I Created This Fall Look
I paired a summer dress with black tight. The tight served to ground the look. There is black in the print of the summer dress I added. The cardigan is also in black. The turquoise fall sandals repeat a color of the dress. The color also is repeated in the bottom of the satchel. You can find an ultimate guide how to transition summer pieces to fall at the link.
Take-home message: Let the colors of a printed summer dress guide you to create a summer to autumn transtional look.
What about you? Do you mix and match items from the warm and cold season in one outfit? What is your style challenge during the summer to fall transition? Let me know, so I can help you.
Top of the World Style Linkup-party
Thanks to those of you who linked up last week. It was a big, great party. The Readers’ Fav OOTD goes to the link you clicked the most. This week it was Rachelle’s from Pink Sole. Her utility vest is a real Must-have this fall. My fav was the OOTD from Jess from Elegantly Dresses and Stylish. Well, it is probably rather an outfit of the night (OOTN), but this red lace gown is a dream. Jess looks like a celebrity in front of that wall! Don’t you think so? Heide Klum couldn’t have modeled that dress better than Jess. 😉
