Don’t get me wrong, I love fall fashion. But, I get discouraged at the thought of putting away my beloved summer wardrobe and saying goodbye to some of my favorite pieces. However, there’s hope for us all; with a little imagination you can easily extend the seasonal life of some staples.

Sheer Genius
Some may think it’s crazy to wear sheer fabrics in the fall with the wind gusting and the chilly temperatures dropping. Not me, I say layer, layer layer! Tall boots and a jean shirt make this sheer blue dress warm and comfortable no matter what Mother Nature has in store.

Fabulous Fall Florals
While you may not necessarily be inclined to wear pastel floral prints when the leaves start to fall, it’s still okay to rock them in rich colors like red, navy blue and emerald green. Pair these dresses with bold tights and ankle boots and voila! That dress just earned a year round spot in your closet!

Blazin’ Style
Blazers are your best friends practically any time of year. Throw one on, paired with a dress or camisole, and you’ve got a perfect look that’s quick to pull together and polished. If you’re looking to cut back on cost, invest in a black one – it’s probably the most versatile piece you’ll ever own.
