Continuing the summer to fall transition with a slouchy sweater and a midi skirt.

*This post is in partnership with Kindred Shops; all thoughts + opinions are my own.

One of my favorite carryover looks from last fall is the chunky sweater + midi skirt combo. That juxtaposition between cable knit and swingy skirt is too good to pass up. You’ve seen this gorgeous blush sweater number before in DC, and today I wore it with this mauve ruffled midi skirt. Both items are from Kindred Shops here in Kansas City.

This outfit is perfect for the earlier part of the fall season with a mule sandal (I love these and these) and bare legs. When those temps hover in the 30s later in November, I love the idea of swapping the sandal out for a tall boot. Something slouchy with a bit of a heel to contrast against the girly nature of those ruffles.

I really love throwing a chunky knit on top of something slinky– who says you have to retire those silky slip dresses and midi skirts come autumn? No way. Throw a sweater on top, add an ankle bootie or the aforementioned slouchy boot, and you’re right on the style money. And if the slinky piece is animal print? (Think leopard, snakeskin, or a tiger stripe.) You’re golden.

Did September fly by for anyone else? It was a whirlwind for me. With a travel weekend at the beginning of the month and lots of craziness at my 9-5, I feel like I blinked and the month passed. October is next, one of my favorite months. It finally starts to cool off in KC, the leaves start to change, and sweaters feel fully appropriate and not stifling. Are you ready for fall?

  3. A) YES. September is like a non-entity. It’s just gone. Where did it go? I don’t know.

    B) This outfit is SO. DARLING!!! Polka dots! Ruffles! Slip! Chunkiness! The softest pastels! Yes yes yes and yes!

    C) Love your hair all clipped up like that!

    Enjoy “transitional season”! I think those might be my favorite parts of the year – summer INTO fall…winter INTO spring…before we hit all the EXTREMES of each season.

    1. I’m totally with you on all the mixing of textures, prints, and pastels! It was a really fun look to put together and is just as cozy as it is cute!

      I love the transitional parts, too- I’m trying to do better about slowing down and really enjoying them because they’re pretty magical!

  34. Oh my word, how stinking cute are you?!! I love this slouchy sweater with a delicate ruffly skirt. And those shoes are adorable, too. I have a few slinky skirts that I may attempt to style a chunky sweater with now. I am also loving your hair in this messy up do…I need to give that a try, too! Thanks so much for joining my link party this week!

  45. I absolutely love this outfit! I’m currently in Aberystwyth where the weather is super gross and rainy and so seeing photos where the weather is nice and the sun is out is giving me serious cravings to travel somewhere else haha.
