WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

 

The Key to Pre-Fall Style:

This transitional season is the best time to experiment with layers, textures, and color palettes. Try deep brown, mocha mousse (the color of the year), tomato red, brick red, and more red. 

 

WARDROBE STAPLES TO TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY:

Cardigans + Button-Downs:

Creative ways to style these classics beyond the office.  AKA: episode 260 on how to wear one cardigan 3 ways!

 

Lightweight Jackets:

Think cropped trenches and blazers that pull double duty.

 

Midi + Maxi Skirts:

Like our Lanai Skirt from the www.wearthisnotthat.shop that pairs effortlessly with boots. What kind of boots? So glad you asked. Head on back to last week's episode 261 for all the boot fashion inspo you need. Keep on reading! ⬇️

Style Hacks:

 * Monochromatic looks in cream, taupe, or mocha for a longer, leaner vibe.
