Not putting those cutoff shorts away just yet! Tall boots ftw.
We keep getting hints of fall here in KC: a cool morning here, a lower-humidity day there. It’s promising (albeit a little sad to see summer go), but it’s not so obvious that I’m doing a full seasonal wardrobe swap yet. The answer? Fall things with summer things, like a pair of summery cutoff shorts with a (lightweight!) sweater and tall boots. (I love these! And they come in 2 other colors if you already have a pair of tan boots in your closet.)
This sweater is a great transitional find. First, it features both a “summer” and a “fall” color. (You can wear any color whenever you want, but you get my drift.) The baby pink and the mustard is a different + cool combo, and the cropped nature of the sweater feels more beachy than turkey trot. I love the way it wore with high-waisted, boyfriend-style cutoff shorts.
Shop the look:
These boots will totally be in the mix once fall really settles in. I’m already daydreaming about wearing them with leggings, sweater dresses, and over skinny jeans. I love the wider opening at the top (so flattering on the leg) and that super manageable heel. A) so comfy and B) we’ll be dealing with icy surfaces before we know it, and a sturdy heel is wise.

Ooh, cute! I’ve been loving pink with gold mustard and this striped sweater is darling!
Yeah, the big heat is gone here, too. I keep expecting a little burst of Indian summer but no sign of that yet, so I’m able to wear a light cardigan over my summer dresses.
Enjoy the weather!

The pink and gold/mustard combo is fun, right? Feels 70s and super end-of-summer-early-fall.
Oh, cardigan weather! I can’t wait for that. 🙂
Your colorful striped sweater is darling! I would have never thought to style cut-offs with tall boots! Love it! This is such a chic fall transition look!

I’m into it! I love the sweater, too- and it’ll definitely be killer come real fall weather!
I love this as a transitional look – shorts paired with boots seems so simple and it looks great (it probably doesn’t hurt that those boots are really great).

It’s so fun and sassy, right? 😉
I am hoping to try my hand at a sweater with shorts, but who knows when it will cool off here!

I know, this time of year can be so hit or miss when it comes to fall weather. Fingers crossed you guys cool off!
Must. Have. That. Sweater! Haha, I hope the Large doesn’t overwhelm me, as that’s the only size left!
I hope you like it! I sized up in mine, too- I love it a bit slouchier because then you can do the off-the-shoulder trick!
This is such a great outfit for this time of year! Love those tall boots – they look amazing on you!

This is insanely cute! I love this stripey sweater and the mustard shade is so great on you. I am a huge fan of moving shorts into Fall. Styled with the tall boots is super edgy and fun. When it gets even cooler, throw a pair of tights on under your shorts!
