This time of year can be hard to dress for. It’s still summer/hot and you’re sick of seersucker and flip flops and you’re starting to think ahead to fall. It’s a weird in between time in fashion. Stores all have fall out so it’s all you see and all you want. The past few years I’ve started to try to slowly transition to fall while still wearing appropriate clothing. I wanted to share 10 looks to take you into fall. About half will work while it’s still hot and the other half once it actually cools down a bit.

Walking into the last week of August like…

Where did the summer go?! I swear each day is flying by faster than the last. Is that how it goes once you have a baby? I’m scared I’m going to blink and she’ll be a year old. Ahh!

By this point in the summer you’re probably being inundated with fall looks, but I’m keeping it real and dressing for the current season. I grabbed this colorful romper while shopping the other day and wanted to wear it in a summer-y way so I paired it with this straw bag and these slides.

I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone with this culotte jumpsuit, but I’m loving it.

Now that we’re in the second week of August I’m starting to experience the same sadness I did as a kid when the summer was wrapping up and it was time to go back to school. Only instead of school, I’m getting ready to go back to work after almost 7 months off!

This summer is flying by! I think time drastically speeds up when you have a baby – I find myself looking at pictures of things that happened months ago and feel like they were just yesterday. And now that we’re in August summer days are really numbered. Although in Southern California it will still be warm til Thanksgiving.
