Bringing a summery lace top into fall with a suede jacket.
Seasons don’t just change overnight, especially here in the midwest. We’re subject to weeks and weeks of weird, in-between weather that makes daily outfitting challenging. While you may want to pack away those summer pieces and commit to a cable knit-only closet, you just can’t. Not yet. The answer is to blend summer and fall into single outfits until the weather fully transitions.
The quick and easy way to do this? Grab a summery topâ like this lace blouse from Zaraâ and throw some fall-friendly suede over the top. One of my go-to’s is this Missguided suede jacket. It’s light enough that warm fall afternoons don’t mean a sweat-fest, but still a substantial enough layer to keep the morning/evening chills at bay. Also, it has a distinct fall feel to it. When worn over the white lace blouse, the look dances between seasons (just like the weather). Destroyed denim provides a cool factor and additional ventilation, while suede booties tie in the suede up top.
Shop the look:
Did you spot my Garmin vivomove in the look above? I know it looks slick (it’s prettier in person if you can believe it), but it’s also perfect for easy activity tracking. This white + rose gold number tracks my steps and monitors my sleep while still scoring major style points. Read more about it in this post and shop for your own right here. (It comes in several color options!)
This is the first look in a series I’m doing with nine other blogger babes; we’re tackling fall trends + outfitting tips each week to give you some ideas of what to wear now. We’ve dubbed it the Ten Take on Fall; hop around and see how my pals are sorting through styling summer pieces in fall-friendly ways.

This outfit is, head to toe, my ideal outfit for this time of year. You’re still incorporating a bit of the whimsy of summer with that gorgeous top but also clearly transitioning into fall with that amazing suede jacket. Missguided for the win!
This top is super cute, looks perfect wiht your jeans.

Lovely outfit.

I know what you mean, it can get the same here on the east coast, too, which is why I don’t even bother packing away my pieces anymore, I leave everything in my closet as is. I love the way you’ve layered your top with that fab suede jacket and those jeans are too cute! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great week so far!

This is such a great summer-to autumn transition outfit! Great styling tips! LOVE that suede jacket!
Transitioning seasons can be tricky! Some days you need to wear short sleeves and the other day a sweater and boots?! Ugh! Mother nature can be unkind sometimes… 😉
