Wearing: large hoop earrings / Chanel summer lipstick (great color for transitioning to fall) / black blouse (summer weight, fall style) / scarf (fall 2017 on sale until Aug 6) / turquoise and gold bracelet / gold-tone watch c/o Welly Merck (use code BAF20 to save 20%) / jeans (on sale!) / Givenchy Antigona / Chanel summer nail polish / suede booties (fall 2017 booties on sale until Aug 6)

A summer into fall transition outfit is key to rocking the fall trends, yet dressing for the summer weather. As the fall trends begin to hit store shelves, all of us are anxious to wear the new and now; yet cannot fathom wearing a coat or a sweater in 90 degree weather.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, and it offer us fall transitional styles at sale prices for a limited time. This is great since the sale is a great way to buy a few new fall pieces without breaking the bank. Love that!

I picked up these booties, and this scarf, at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for fall 2017. They are both great summer into fall outfit enhancers 😉 The scarf is an instant fall classic, which is easy to pair with a summer top, in a dark or fall color. The booties are dipped on the side, and easy to wear in warm weather since they do not require heavy socks. Together, they make an easy fall update to a summer outfit.

This outfit worked well for me this weekend when temperatures soared into the 90’s. I wore it to brunch after church, and then to the movies with my kids. The jeans were a little warm for the weather, but the fall pieces were perfect! It felt so fresh to be wearing a summer to fall transition outfit!

These booties need more a shout-out then just how cute they are. I am in love with them, and know I will reach for them often as we transition from summer into fall, and during the fall season. They are comfortable, and very easy to walk in. The color is a great alternative to black; and lightens up an outfit with a lot of black such as the summer to fall transition outfit I am wearing in this post. Plus, the booties are currently under $100, how awesome is that?!

Are you thinking about starting to shop for fall yet? If so, what have you bought so far?

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Concept striped tee for summer

wearing: blue tassel earrings (avl in several colors!) / Chanel summer lipstick / tee c/o Oh Concept (use discount code CATHY-also comes in pink!!) / multi-color tassel bracelet stack (on major sale!) / Chanel summer nail polish / white watch c/o Daniel Wellington (use code BAYAREA15 to save 15%) (also love this black version) / Givenchy handbag (back on the radar for fall 2017!) / wide leg jeans (on major sale!!) / black wedge espadrilles (under $100!!)

How cute is this cold shoulder, striped tee by Oh Concept! I am in love with it! This lightweight tee is made from the softest cotton, and looks so cute with shorts, jeans, and midi skirts. I find myself reaching for it often. Oh Concept makes the best casual-wear; they have great styles which can be worn daily. Love that!

This outfit was super comfortable the other day when I wore it to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun. We met up at Santana Row for a yummy lunch at Straits, and chatted the day away! This outfit was perfect for a day on the Row.

This fall, we are seeing A LOT less distressed denim, and more clean denim. As we move towards the end of summer shopping, and start to organize for fall, it is important to only buy things which will easily transition from summer into fall. These jeans do the trick!

Another fall trend to watch is the continuation of ties, cold shoulders, and asymmetrical lines. I love this Oh Concept tee because it hits all the bullet points for both the current summer trends, and the incoming fall trends. This will be a fabulous tee to wear for the rest of summer, as well as for transitioning into the fall season. The weather here in the Bay Area does not cool down until very late October, so an on trend tee to wear with jeans is an easy, and perfect, way to move into fall without wearing something too heavy for the weather. Love!

You can see the last time I wore an Oh Concept piece here.

Beach season is here! Don’t let the morning fog in these photos fool you; it turned out to be a beautiful day at Capitola Beach! Over the weekend, we took the kids to the beach. We stopped at Zelda’s first for brunch; they have the best hot chocolate! Then, the kids built a little sand town on the beach while I dove into a new book. My friend Laura from Have-Need-Want lives close-by, so she walked over to the beach to say hi! My teen daughter loved meeting her baby. So fun!

This affordable swimsuit cover up, which doubles as a dress, was perfect for the day. It was easy to wear to brunch, for a stroll through town, and on the beach! With high heel sandals, this cover up would make a cute sun dress for date night on a hot day! I love how versatile this affordable swimsuit cover up is for the summer months. Nothing beats pieces which can be used for multiple types of occasions. This cover up hits all the points!

If you are looking for a fabulous bikini, my black and white striped bikini is so comfortable, and I love the side ties! The cut is flattering; I am in love!

I love the look of wooden watches; especially in the summer! My favorite wood watch is on sale today for Amazon Prime Day. It is 30% off which is a great deal! I love how it plays so well with my handbag. Natural materials are so perfect for the summer!
