The No Fail Fall Transition Outfit
It’s not quite pumpkin picking season yet but you are dreaming of those pumpkin lattes each morning. What to wear when Fall still feels like summer? This no fail Fall transition outfit that will take you through to cooler days and get you in the Fall mood.
Strappy Sandals
Try a pair of sandals in a Fall shade like burgundy. Strappy sandals will get you through until the cold weather comes in. The square shaped toe and 90s inspired heel is very on-trend right now. Although I wore this trend the first time around, this strappy version (similar in green here) feels very current. The square heel gives more support than the stiletto or kitten heel cousins. I love it styling them equally with a cocktail dress as much as I do with jeans. Versatility will always serve you well. It saves you money and closet space!
Ganni Wrap Top
A white top is always a good idea. It’s what I reach for when I don’t know what to wear. Try a wrap version for a little added detail. It really takes a look from ordinary to appealing. When you see an outfit that looks ordinary but you can’t place why it looks so special, it’s usually the details. Plus you can dress it up with a skirt or wear with your favorite jeans like I did here. I’m wearing the Ganni Olayan poplin wrap top. Ganni is a Danish brand so it has Danish sizing. For reference, I am wearing size 34 which is equivalent to a European 34 (US 0-2). The white top is no doubt your number one Fall Transition outfit essential. Here are some of my favorite white tops:
Gucci Arli Bag
Swap out your summer bag for one with a warm jewel tone. Nothing says a Fall like rich berry tones. It’s no secret that I love bags. If I could only choose one accessory to invest in, it is a bag. I love the feel and the scent of soft leather. Don’t worry about scratching your bag either. Natural leather will scratch with use but it just shows that it is used and loved. In fact, the more character the better. Have you ever noticed how some bags just get better with age? Fall bags are best with straps too. Long straps will keep your hands free to hold your pumpkin spice latte. This Gucci Arli shoulder bag is a gorgeous rich shade of bordeaux. It’s a great shade to enhance your Fall wardrobe. This color will pair nicely with just about anything. Here are some other rich jewel toned bags:
Fall Transition Outfit Fragrances
Fragrance can and should be part of your Fall transition plan. It’s time to start using deeper scents. Try adding a new perfume to get you in the Fall mood. I love warm vanilla tones as we start getting into the colder months. My all time favorite scent is Allure by Chanel. I’ve been wearing it for 20 years. I still to this day have people ask me what I’m wearing! It’s warm, cozy, and comforting smells keep you in a cozy frame of mind. Notes to look for are warm, spicy, and gourmand.
These are your basic essentials that make up an easy Summer to Fall transition outfit. They are season-less pieces that can carry you through all year long. Check out this post for another great Fall transition outfit!

What a beautiful outfit and excellent blog entry. I am a huge fan of AG jeans (I believe they are made in the USA as well).

The dark brown color strap bag looks cool with this outfit. I had a dark brown bag but I always thought it makes me looks older, but your pictures have convinced me I am wrong. It looks fantastic!
