Can you feel it? Fall weather is knocking on our door! Exciting for some, but an adjustment for others and their closets as the weather takes a cool turn. It can be a costly headache to replace an entire summer wardrobe with autumn warmth and style. The Pretty Posy Boutique in downtown Overland Park suggests it can be a lot easier and more cost effective than people realize to transition clothing with the seasons. Instead of doing away with every summer piece, adding some staples and adjusting some details can change the entire dynamic of an outfit. Follow along with these examples for inspiration on building outfits out of pieces you already own or need to add for this fall.
Summer errands to business as usual
-
Start with a simple tank paired with mom jeans and braided leather flip flops for summer errands and days out with the kiddos.
-
Add a blazer with a classic print (like this herringbone blazer) over the tank + black cigarette pants and heels for business meetings or networking events in the fall.

3. Find a versatile lightweight long sleeve top in a pretty color with a slightly cropped cut (make it fun with an interesting detail like the gathered wrap front on this top) + high waisted ecru linen shorts and wedge sandals for a fun summer day or night.
4. Keep the top and replace the bottoms with cream colored cropped flare trousers and black heels to dress up the fall.
