How crazy is it that I’m already talking about fall transitional pieces? Wasn’t it just the first day of summer?! I hate that my favorite season’s end is in sight, but luckily where I live it will still feel like summer for awhile. It does cool off in the mornings and evenings so I love dressing in layers. I also love transitional pieces.

So I don’t know if you’ve heard, (sarcasm, obvi) there’s a little sale currently going on at Nordstrom. I’ll admit, I’m always hesitant to over-hype these sales because I know 347573 other bloggers do and no one wants to be #basic. HOWEVER, after I complied my post on the sale the other day I knew I had to get to Nordstrom to check it out in person.

I love having easy pieces I can pull out and throw on when I don’t want to put too much thought into my look. Like at 5 am when I’m getting dressed and ready for work. Yes it’s as terrible as it sounds, but now I’m a morning person who falls asleep at 9 every night. #goals

This sweater is a fun one. It’s so interesting with the waffle pattern, cold shoulders and hi-low hem and I think it would be really cute with shorts and booties in the spring and cutoffs in the summer.

I wore it on a warm Sunday a few weeks back and stayed cool because it’s so relaxed. This is kind of a transition season – winter is on the out’s and spring is close and it can be confusing getting dressed. I live in a land where it’s 60 degrees and rainy one day and 85 and sunny the next, I really rely on transition pieces to help.

I’ve had this skirt sitting in my closet for at least a month… I’ve been dying to wear it just haven’t had a reason to break it out. I decided to throw it on before we went to breakfast on Christmas Eve. Sure it was in the 50’s and totally not practical, but who cares? I added this faux fur vest for warmth and pretended to be warm even though I had goosebumps like crazy on my legs.

This sweater is a great winter piece. It’s warm and cozy and the best color when you want to take a break from your darker winter things. It’s warm but light enough to layer under coats without that bulky feeling.

Thanks to Old Navy for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own.

There’s just something about a cape that I can’t pass up. This one, with it’s fur trimmed hood, is extra cozy. I’ve been layering my outfits like crazy lately and was so happy when I found this sweater.

I’ll probably repeat this outfit with my family on Christmas. Capes are also great for hiding behind after you eat your weight in pie. Just sayin.

Now that it’s November, it’s finally starting to fell like fall in Southern California. I mean, 75 and sunny is fall, right? It does get cooler in the mornings and evenings and I’m always looking for light jackets to keep me comfortable. Layering is key! I was so excited to find this MISSGUIDED trench on ASOS and even more excited to wear it.

It so soft and buttery I feel like I’m wearing the most comfy PJ’s and never want to take it off. The olive color is a neutral and it will work with so many things until we’re back up in the 80’s.

Bite your tongue.
