TRANSITIONING YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE TO FALL

I’m never ready for summer to end, but I’ll admit I do get excited when I see fall clothes popping up online. Luckily, summer on Nantucket comes with its fair share of chilly nights, so it’s not crazy to stock up on sweaters in the middle of August. Today’s outfit is perfect for a cool summer night, but would transition perfectly into fall with a light jacket (this one is my favorite) thrown on top. I have no qualms about wearing white jeans after Labor Day, but you could always swap them out for regular denim if you prefer.

A few notes about what I’m wearing… The J.Crew Tippi sweater is such an easy basic and one that every girl should have in her fall wardrobe. It’s soft, affordable, and comes in seven colors, plus a collared version that I also “had” to have. I live in these J Brand white skinny jeans — I’m 5’1″ and this capri length hits me at the ankle without needing to be hemmed, which automatically makes them a winner in my book. I also wear my Ray-Ban clubmasters every single day, year-round. I think the shape is flattering on just about everyone (guys and girls) and both the shape and the tortoiseshell finish are just timeless. These Ferragamo Varina flats are one of my all-time favorite wardrobe investments — they’re not cheap, but they’re hands down the most comfortable flats I own and they make even the most simple of outfits feel a little more polished. Lastly, I fell in love with this striped hair ribbon — it’s the perfect preppy accessory and also comes in satin and velvet versions. And all five items are available at Nordstrom, which means free shipping and free returns (yes, even to Nantucket!).
