I have learned though that it is possible to dress for a season without it actually being that season’s expected temperatures. For example, using color instead of layers. Autumn hues are easy to come by this time of year and don’t require a lot of layering. I picked up this pair of Genetic Denim wine (merlot, if we are being specific) colored jeans at Nordstrom and love them so much that I might marry them. They are so soft, they don’t even feel like jeans. I wasn’t even looking for colored denim at the time, in fact I’ve been on the fence with color denim this fall but this color sold me. It’s a deep enough shade of burgundy that it blends perfectly with my the other autumn shades I have hanging in my closet.
Another way to hack fall styles is to layer lightly. Take a lightweight jacket (this blazer tho), a loose cotton tank and you’ve got yourself layers without being an overheated mess. Put a hat on it and all of a sudden, you’re looking like autumn. Even if the weather decides to cooperate with your outfit or not.

Ohh I have a similar shade of jeans and I can't wait to break them out now that it's Fall! I'm totally in love with that blazer though! I'm really loving the "moody florals" look for Fall and I love how this is unstructured enough but more so then a kimono!
Love these trousers. Perfect fall color.

love that hat! it's feeling like full on Fall up here in Chicago, so I'm thinking I'm going to need to buy that pronto.
Your sentiments about faking fall dressing are well expressed! I tried to say the same thing recently, but you did it much better. Great tips!
Great hat!
Love this pretty combo!

I think all of us with a bit of an "obsession" for fashion tend to have this problem. I know I transitioned my closet long ago and I have friends still wearing sandals. Guaranteed in like, a month, I'll be ready for something new. Again.
I prefer fashionably ahead of the curve over fickle though 🙂
