Labor Day may mark the unofficial end of summer, but the weather in KC is way too warm to embrace wool sweaters and pumpkin-spiced everything. However, those tank dresses and neon brights I wore earlier in the season don’t feel right either, so I’m working to add fall elements to summer pieces without breaking a sweat (figuratively and literally). This classic leather jacket has a cool biker babe vibe and gives a white tunic dress some fall appeal when worn tucked in with cutoff shorts. (You guys know I’m not ready to put my shredded denim up just yet, right?) Choosing a neutral lace-up flat over a summer sandal is another drop in the fall bucket.
Shop the look:
How’s the weather where you are? Are you finding the seasonal switch easy to make, or tough to navigate? I’m definitely getting geared up for fall in terms of color and fabric choice, but definitely not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet.
Seriously such a cute outfit. Those shoes are killing me literally- which looks perfect with your jacket and sunnies. Also, can you please tell me what you use on your brows? They are fab and I am dying to know! xo
Such a great outfit and you paired the edgy with the ladylike so well – especially with those lace up flats that I still haven’t found at any Zara lol!!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
OH MY GOSH I want this outfit!! I totally agree, it’s way too early to start dressing for fall, especially when it’s in the 90s in the Midwest. I feel like the summer weather has just begun!
Love that jacket! I have a leather (ish) jacket from River Island with a GIANT faux fur collar that I cannot wait to pull out!! It didn’t get nearly enough love last year…
I feel like you probably don’t get to experience “fall” until November maybe? I can’t imagine! It’s still vey much hot here. High 90’s today, but mentally I am ready for fall! Maybe I had one too many pumpkin spice lattes this weekend, but yes, let’s go cooler weather!
LOVE this leather jacket! It’s paired perfectly with the shorts and these super cute lace-up flats! I cannot wait for the weather to change so I can break out my leather jacket. It’s going to be 92 here today — where is fall?!
We’re definitely in the same boat right now. It’s way too hot to wear actual fall clothes, so I’m rocking the shorts as much as I can…with subtle fall touches.
Oh, and try your pumpkin spice iced. It’s how I transition into fall with my drinks 😉
I’ll say it again, you have a knack for the perfect mix of classic and edgy. LOVE that jacket and I’ve been dying over those flats forever now – I think I just need to breakdown and buy a pair! 🙂
