must have pieces to transition into fall

Making the leap from summer to fall isn’t always easy. While the air is still hot (especially here in the South) and I’m busy soaking in all of the final moments of this summer sunshine that I can, I’m still excitedly preparing for the cooler weather ahead.

It’s always around this time of year when I start to crave a change in my wardrobe. So this is why I am so excited to partner with Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook to share my must have pieces to transition into fall – a collection of modern classics that you can wear now and later.

LIGHT LAYERS

If there is one must have piece to transition into fall, it’s a light layer like this sweater blazer here – the versatility is endless! I love that it’s lightweight and easy to throw on over a dress, a simple tank like this one here, or button down. So, if you’re in the market for the perfect, work-to-weekend, wear-everywhere blazer to transition into fall, this one has you covered (literally + figuratively).

I also love this lightweight sweater for layering here!

LEOPARD PRINT

While I am loving all the animal print taking over sweaters and dresses this season, there’s nothing I love more than a bold shoe or accessory to take my outfit to the next level. No matter what you’re wearing – a shirt dress or a sweater and boyfriend jeans – you can’t go wrong with incorporating a little bit of leopard print into your wardrobe this season. These leopard calf hair loafers I’m wearing are my favorite bold shoe to wear now and well into fall and winter – oh, and it’s worth noting that I got them for almost half the price during a HauteLook flash sale!

I also love these leopard heels and similar loafers!

STRAW

Straw is one of my must have pieces for fall…and summer, and pretty much all the time! So, don’t put your straw bags away just yet, y’all. Whether you’re ready for a full closet refresh or want just a few on-trend touches from summer that will transition effortlessly into your fall wardrobe, a straw bag like this is a great place to start. I’ve been carrying straw bags non-stop this summer, so why stop now? I also love this one here!

You can shop my entire look and must have pieces to transition into fall here.

I love shopping smart and finding pieces that I can wear throughout several seasons, so finding great deals for quality, transitional pieces is a huge plus for me! There are many things that I love about Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook, but one of my favorite feature is the convenience of being able to search and shop both websites through their shared cart. The ability to toggle between the two makes it so easy to capitalize on the best deals and inventory on either site! Plus, you get free shipping when you reach $100, which is very easy to reach since there are so many amazing bargains.
