Easing into Fall (feat. Curvaceous Boutique)

With the conclusion of Summer comes the demand of being "Fall-ready" in this here world of style blogging. Don't let the pressure of appearing "on trend" online have you looking silly. The first day of Autumn, technically, is September 23, 2015. People up north may be able to pack their swimsuits up overnight and wake up Wednesday morning ready for leather and boots ... but that's certainly not the case in my (southern) world. Beyond a chill before sunrise, and a breeze during the day, Summer-like weather will be present until November. Even then, you may suffocate trying to layer up like you're in Maine somewhere. 

I reside in Tampa, FL where Summer days are nearly 100 degrees, we beach year-round, and there is no snow on Christmas day (like, ever). My typical Fall day will range between 70-80 degrees, so i'll be dressed accordingly. Fall fashion, like Spring/ Summer, is what YOU make it. Don't "be" out there sweating bullets, near death, for the sake of the #FallFashion hashtag. Crawl into the season if you need to, you have time. 

Below are a few ways I'll smoothly transition into the new season, as the FL weather gradually changes.



Look #1: Warm in Warm Colors
The warm colors in the printed Madison dress are so gorgeous and ideal for the season, you don't have to put any effort into the ensemble. Pair with black/ nude and & go.

Look # 2: White After Labor Day

They say white is off limits after early September, but what are rule precisely?







Look #3: Maxi Maxout 

This Spring-time maxi can be worn into Fall with a simple switch. Put your matching pink shoes away and opt for dark/ all-black accessories instead.






Want to transition but don't have the funds or wardrobe to do so? Here are three affordable ways!

1) Hats - You'll be amazed at the difference this accessory can make! A wide-brim hat with a dress, a fedora type hat with some jeans and a blazer. You're done. 

2) Duster/ Outerwear - Most of your cute, Summer, sleeveless, midi dresses (of any pattern/ color) can be rocked into the Fall with a dark duster or leather jacket. 

3) Makeup - A smokey eye + nude lip, or nude eye + vamp lip is the perfect way to remix that little black dress you've worn all-year-long into an evening Autumn slay.
