The fall closet transition continues with a blazer, shorts, and combat boots.

Inching toward fall without packing up all your summer clothing is the name of the game right now. I really love this time of year because it opens up your whole closet– nothing is off limits! I’m showing you one example of this today with a fall-friendly green blazer and tough combat boot with summery cutoff shorts.

Nothing in this outfit is new, either. The blazer was last seen as part of an H&M campaign I did a few years back, the shorts have been around for ages, and these boots are too iconic to ever get rid of. In-between seasons like this are the perfect time to get creative with your wardrobe and have some fun making unexpected combinations. I do love a blazer and denim short moment, but when you add in a pair of super chunky combat boots, things get really interesting.

I’m also making the case for the turtleneck black bodysuit– seriously, a must-have piece. It goes with everything, layers well, and is very on-trend. I used it as a base to let that green jacket shine, but also tie in the black sunglasses and patent in the boots. The black woven throughout keeps things cohesive.

In other (really wild) news, this week is my last week at my job. My first and only big girl job– I’ve been here for 14 years! (And was an intern before that.) But the time has come to move on and I got an offer I couldn’t refuse at another company as their director of content strategy. This is a really cool opportunity; I will be shaping the CS for the entire organization. To say I’m excited and absolutely terrified is an understatement– but big, expansive change should scare you, right? I think so. I’m sad to leave some really amazing people at my soon-to-be-old job. Not only are they sharp and talented, but several of them have become good friends. It’s going to be hard not seeing (via Zoom!) them every day.

It goes without saying, but the blog might be a little sporadic in terms of posting while I transition into the new role and sort out my new normal. Learning the organization, meeting new colleagues, figuring out how everything works (and I how I fit into that picture)– it’s all going to be very new, but very exciting.

  4. CONGRATULATIONS! That is absolutely fantastic and although scary and exciting, it will teach you so much. Taking a big step is always difficult but rarely regretful. Best of luck with the transition. As for the outfit, I love everything about this look. The business, the fun, and the edgy.

  10. Congratulations on the new job, Ashley! I understand the nervousness around the change but you’re gonna do great!

    And I’m so loving this green/black/denim color palette!

    How can I NEVER remember how to spell palette?? One L two Ts? Two Ls one T? Guh. As if life wasn’t hard enough.

    Enjoy Transition Season!

    1. Thank you for the words of encouragement! Seriously going to need them. 🙂

      I’m the same way with “canceled” as you are with “palette” so I can totally relate to this!

  11. Great look! That shade of green on you is perfection. You constantly amaze me with making an outfit, that I would never think to put together, look awesome.

    So excited for you in your new job…..don’t stress too much, you got this!!!!

  15. Great outfit as always! I like this kind of combo…unfortunately where I live I can never wear a blazer with shorts…is either to hot or to cold.

    Have a great day!

  19. This is a great look I love shorts and a blazer. And congrats on the new job!! I know scary but also exciting. That is truly wonderful. I have a wee bit of exciting news. I was featured on The Cut (New York Magazine)’s street style feature! I guess that officially makes me an influencer lol.

    Ashley, I wish you all the luck in the world in your new job, I would love to have so many job opportunities in my country but here work is very scarce!
    I believe you will be able to overcome your initial fear and you will be able to do your job as well as you do your blog!

  39. Many many congrats on your new job, Ashley! And yes, being scared is normal. I’ve been scared with every new job I’ve started. And while it’s uncomfortable, it keeps you sharp as you make the transition. So it’s really a good thing.

    Love this spicy outfit! The green blazer is such a pretty shade. And yay for combat boots!
