We’re quickly moving toward fall here in Minnesota, with cooler mornings and evenings upon us. It’s one of my favorite times of year, and while I’m excited to make the sartorial shift to fall, I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to all of my warm-weather apparel just yet.
Today I’m sharing five favorite ways to transition summer apparel into fall. Have more ideas to pass along? Shout them out in the comments!
Looking for more of my outfits? Take a peek at last month’s outfits post, featuring five favorite flowy outfits.
01
Sleeveless Nap Dress (shown above)
I bought this dress last winter and loved it alllll through the summer (the sleeveless fit made it perfect for warm weather). Now I’m excited to pair it with a cardigan or turtleneck throughout the fall.

White Linen Shorts
I love these H&M shorts so much. My favorite way to style them into the fall is with loafers and a button-up!

Another way to embrace sweater weather! Make your flowy, bright dresses work all fall long with a chunky turtleneck and boots.

Birkenstock Sandals
Give me a sandal as we head into fall and I’ll raise you a sandal paired with socks … RED socks. I kept the rest of this look relatively simple with denim and a white top.

Cutoff Shorts
This final outfit may be my favorite of the bunch. I’ll find a way to style a pair of cutoffs until the snow hits the ground. I love these paired with a mock neck top, button-up, black flats, and a head scarf.
