WARDROBE STAPLES TO TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY:

Cardigans + Button-Downs:

Lightweight Jackets:

Think cropped trenches and blazers that pull double duty.

 

Midi + Maxi Skirts:

Like our Lanai Skirt from the www.wearthisnotthat.shop that pairs effortlessly with boots. What kind of boots? So glad you asked. Head on back to last week's episode 261 for all the boot fashion inspo you need. Keep on reading! ⬇️
