FASHION FROM ABROAD: Fall in Love With Florence

I want more than anything to bring out all my chunky sweaters and scarves, but it is sadly not time for that in Italy. It is still too hot to be outside wearing long sleeves mid-day, which makes it difficult when transitioning to fall fashion. Layers are key for the chilly morning and evenings and this Fashionista has the right idea for this weather.

This outfit is the epitome of a slow fall transition phase. It is not too warm and not too cool, while still showing styles that could work in any season. A denim jacket is an excellent investment in a city like Florence. It is comfy, light, casual and easy to throw on with nearly any look. Everyone knows that a little black dress is the ultimate closet staple and this Fashionista is working it. A dress like this can take you completely from day to night by just swapping out a few pieces. I love the effect that one little scarf can have on an outfit. This accessory adds a pop of color and fun as well as giving a European vibe. The fun continues with this pink laser-cut clutch. It is the right size to hold your phone and money—much better than dragging around a large bag around the city. These gray lace-up flats are a major key when it comes to comfort and cuteness. Speaking of cuteness, can we just take a moment to admire these dimples? They are practically an accessory on their own. This Fashionista tops off the look with simple earrings and her favorite Alex and Ani bracelets.
