when summer turns to fall

I truly can’t wrap my head around how it is already the middle of August. How it has been a year (today!) since I’ve been dating my boyfriend, how I’ve lived in Houston now for 4 months, how summer is practically over, how cooler months are on the horizon for most of us (not so much down here in Texas, but in time..), and how September (magazine) issues are already coming out; I can’t fathom any of this. I know it’s not just me, but I truly feel time flies quicker than I can even process. With all of these realities staring at me in the face, I can’t help but get very excited for Fall clothes. Everywhere you look now it’s all about Fall. I can’t wait for jewel tones, leather, metallic, military inspired, and all the other fabulous Fall 12 styles and trends out there and ready for us all to tackle. However, what I’ve really been on the hunt for are those transitional outfits. In warmer climates, as many of us know, it doesn’t get cool for quite some time now, but quicker than we think the chillier nights will start (which I personally love). In the cases of warmer days and chillier nights you need an outfit that can take you throughout both. You need those items that you can easily add for when the temperatures start dropping. I’ve put together some of my favorite combinations (all from Topshop).
