Maximize Your Wardrobe: Summer Lace + Fall Suede.

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 top– like this lace blouse from Zara– 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.

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!)

  1. 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!

  2. I’m in love with laces.. like seriously. I have a couple of tops and shirts right now with lace. BUT, the cut jeans is to cold to wear in Norway right now.
    Lovely outfit.

  3. I love the combination of Summer lace and Fall suede, it’s so hard knowing what to wear in this transitional time!

  4. 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!

    XO,
