FashionForTeens is hosting this month's Petite Fashion Challenge -- "take traditionally summer pieces (like tank tops, shorts, mini skirts, sundresses, etc.) and make them appropriate for fall"
Transitioning from summer to fall can be tricky, so for Petite Fashion Challenge #10, I wanted to focus on bringing some of my favorite summer combos--like this cream ruffle blouse and linen vest--into my fall wardrobe.
This is Jane in summertime: bright pink & boat shoes + seersucker vest = quintessentially summer.
Pair the vest+ruffle blouse combo with fall's darker hues like oatmeal and red and you're ready for apple cider doughnuts and pumpkin-spice lattes.

ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT transitional outfits. Love, LOVE your style. Too bad it will still be SUMMER in Arizona until about November... :)
ReplyDeleteWow I love both of those outfits!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love how still kept the fall outfit light and bright :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how swapping out the bottom half of an outfit can take a look into the next season? Brilliant!
