Like a Lady

This is the time of year that I always want to jump head first into fall. But it’s still summer. But I want it to be fall. Good thing for air conditioners right? It’s a cool 72 degrees most places we go, just like a crisp autumn day.

This top is kind of perfect for not-quite-autumn days. It looks layered….but it’s not. You can even take the collar and sleeve collars off and just have a lightweight sweater, the kind sales guy at Nordstrom informed me. Which is perfect because fall is all about layers and since these layers are fake, I can fake fall. It also feels very lady like with the tailored collar, no? I can fake being a lady, too — which is always a plus in my book. I found this Alice + Olivia sweater when I was picking up my last minute Nordstrom sale purchases (I made a few last minute decisions to buy before they turned to regrets) and a pair of jeans didn’t fit like they should. I ended up swapping them out for this sweater which was a nice exchange as I can see many fall days ahead with me and this sweater. I’m thinking a full midi skirt might be the next route I take with this sweater.

Though I guess when the weather is still warm the easiest way to transition from summer to fall is through colors. A little bit of a grey here, touch of black there and before we know it, it feels like fall.

  11. I love it with jeans but YES! to the midi skirt idea. That would look amazing. Or amazeballs…whatever the kids are saying these days.

  23. This look is so cute for the fall. I really like the long cropped or as they call it, high-line sweater. The new shorter length is really cute. I like that even thought it's a fall look, you're giving us a sliver/peek of skin. This look is clean & straight forward, love that. You look great.

  26. Ahhhh I think a midi would look amazing with this sweater. I'm all about faking fall these days, since I can't wait for rainbow colored leaves and pumpkin-spice-everything. This sweater is the perfect solution. And it's just a generally perfect sweater 🙂 xx

  32. We are totally in the same boat. We're in the peak of summer heat, yet I'm practically doing a rain dance for the first day of Fall. There's nothing quite like fall fashion, having the ability to layer things comfortably and make use of most of your wardrobe.

  39. I absolutely love this look! I used to wear a version of this top years ago but I love the idea of wearing it with some tight fitting jeans, heels and some great statement jewelry! I will definitely be recreating!
