In summary
To elongate the time you can wear summer pieces (i.e. procrastinate on admitting or being on denial that it is early fall) shop your closet for
- maxi skirts (you can even wear cropped leggings underneath),
- 3/4 t-shirts or shirts,
- jackets that permit layering and cover you up in the cool morning and evening hours,
- closed sandals to keep your feet warm or wood sandals for insulation from the ground that in early fall already cools down substantially over night, and
- make that a summery look.
Pro tip: Add summer accessories and keep the look on the casual side. Summer is much more casual than all other seasons.
