Fall Colors, Summer Cool

September 5, 2016
Many of us won’t actually get fall weather for awhile, which means us fashionistas itching to wear our fall pieces are decidedly irritated. 
What’s a gal to do?  
Wear clothing cool enough for warmer weather, but in scrumptious autumn colors!



midi skirt over 40, summer to fall look






Here’s one outfit idea …



midlife style, 40 plus style, style over 40, style over 50

I pulled out my burgundy midi skirt that hasn’t seen the light of day since about Valentine’s Day, I think.  I added a faux wrap top in some pretty fall colors, but still lightweight and short sleeve.  I added my vintage Prada shoes that I’m pretty ga-ga over.  The grommet belt seemed like an unexpected touch, but … #1 the look needed a belt … and #2 I thought the grommets were a nice call back to the grommets on the shoes.  Viola!  A pretty fall look … still cool enough for summer weather.

    Great outfit. I live in Florida so won't get to wear any type of fall outfit until about January! So I like your idea of incorporating fall colors and pairing with something like that pretty short sleeved peplum top.

    Couldn't agree more with this post and I've done a couple of posts myself as well on this topic. I live in Wisconsin and it's been in the 90's and so humid. I love your outfit. The colors are so beautiful and so autumn.
