September 27th, 2016 at 2:00am

As we Fashionista/os start to make the transition from summer to fall, it’s important to understand and know what can help to make the transition easy. This Fashionista perfectly embodies how to make the transition from summer to fall so simple. The first key is sticking with classic colors that are apparent in every season, such as black and white. Black and white are timeless colors that represent something different depending on the season we are in. For example, in this look black and white demonstrate a simple yet sophisticated summertime look. The simple striped T-shirt paired with the pleated skirt add sophistication to the outfit. Another key part of this outfit is the length of the clothing used in the outfit. This Fashionista used a longer pleated black skirt that is an appropriate choice for both seasons and also adds sophistication to the outfit.

The second important step in making the transition easy is the accessories and how they work with the outfit. Accessories can be very helpful in the transition between seasons because although they’re something small, they can make a world of a difference. In this look, this Fashionista used her shoes as a key piece in making the transition, because when we think of booties, we usually think of them as more of a fall or winter piece. But, because the booties are paired with a summertime outfit, it makes it clear that we as Fashionista/os are headed towards fall. The rings and purse also help with the transition because they help highlight the boots, skirt and T-shirt, which are the staple pieces of the outfit and what drive the outfit to be so versatile.

Moving forward with the seasonal transition, it’s important to remember the few pieces of advice I discussed. Remember to use colors seen throughout all seasons, such as black, white, green, brown and gray because they are staple colors that are the building blocks for any outfit. Secondly, don’t forget to utilize accessories. They can help to dress up or down an outfit, as well as transition the outfit from season to season. Next time you are stuck deciding what to wear in between seasons, remember my tips of advice with the hope that they will make the transition much simpler for you!
