Fall-ify a Summer Outfit with a Jacket Layer

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

The seasons are changing once more *sigh*

Of all the seasonal transitions, I have the most difficulty turning summer over to fall

To make the transition a wee bit easier, 

this creme color blazer works great for late summer days

I am layering it over summer pieces to extend their wearability a little longer

The weather at this time can be a little fickle,

and wearing a jacket that can easily be taken off and put back on

 during these changeable days is helpful 

 I have found this blazer to be a good neutral bridge season piece,

 and am wearing it in two different looks for this post

The pieces in both of these outfits were worn by themselves earlier this summer

 First, the creme blazer worn over a brown, pink and ivory print

 two piece blouse and skirt set

I wore this set back in August in a post about paisley prints

Today, I am layering the blazer belted over the set to create a new look 

for the transitional season

Carrying a blush and nude scalloped flap bag

Also accessorizing with a wide dusty pink faux suede hair band

I think adding textures also helps signal the seasonal change  

For jewelry, I chose a mix of vintage and current pieces

starting with a special pair of 1940's screw back silver tone 3-D bow earrings

 with pink rhinestone centers

 Also wearing a current silver tone knot bracelet,

 and seldom worn 1940's vintage faux pearl three strand necklace-

I haven't had these out for ages!

For shoes, a very versatile favorite pair of nude ankle tie low heel pumps

For my next outfit, the same jacket worn over a summer midi dress

This dress has a creme background with a red and coral floral print

I wore it back in July in a post about coral tones 

Accessorizing with some chunky silver tone jewelry

A vintage double chain link necklace, a wide distressed open cuff bracelet,

and textured dome stud earrings

I start wearing my heftier jewelry when the season starts to change 

Carrying my 60's vintage embossed hard case clutch

Also, wearing the same blush pink suede hairband as the first outfit

Hairbands are a great foil for misbehaving hair-

which mine has been doing a lot of, lately!

Trusty season spanning taupe suede cross strap block heels

to finish the outfit

Moving into fall this time last year, 

with a creme color pullover sweater over a summer dress 

A late summer garden beauty

And the last of the summer squash from the farmer's market-

I will miss it until next year!

Hope everyone has a good week!
