I went shopping the other day, and I felt a little sad because the stores are treating their racks as if Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
I mean, I get it, but keep in mind- it’s still summer, people! We still have a good month of warm weather left ahead of us, so let’s not rush away the most wonderful time of the year (of course, that’s only my opinion).
The weather is warm, but it’s not too hot, and you can really experiment with your wardrobe and mix the season’s different trends in order to make it your own. Gingham was such a popular pattern for the spring and summer, and it’s really simple to bring this great look into the fall.
Personally, I’m still obsessed with gingham button downs, and every single store from the GAP, to J. Crew, to Forever 21 are continuing to carry them through the next season–this is def. one of my favorite styles!
Right now, while the weather is still warm and sunny, you can wear your gingham with shorts, and once the temperatures begin to drop, it’s always nice to be able to throw it under a great cardigan, or just wear it with your favorite pair of jeans (try grey ones!). Since the look is a little bit “country” try mixing it with tan and chocolate accessories–especially boots!

I’m so with you on the whole store thing. I hate walking into stores and have them full of winter clothes already. And I hate even more when the stores are packed with Halloween or Thanksgiving things, geez can we enjoy the present and stop rushing things. Time flies fast enough by itself we don’t need them to help.
Do you know where this shirt and boots are from? I LOVE both!
I share your love of Gingham. So fresh and of-the-moment right now. Those boots in the picture are also phenomenal.

Meghan,
I think you are doing a great job. I love the boots – just wish I could wear that heal. I can only wear low heals – (boo hoo). The high heal looks so great with today’s fashions.
