Hi! I know I keep discussing the end of summer and it is not because I'm in a rush to end it. It's because I still have a lot of clothes to get through! You probably do to. If you read my post about what to donate, you know that you have to wear season appropriate items each season otherwise they are in danger of donation! Here are 10 things you need to wear before fall gets here and why:
10. Statement necklaces that are super intricate. Read: the ones you can't wear over a turtleneck because it would shred up the neckline! Also, the ones that catch on your scarves and pull on your cashmere sweaters. Those are made for the bare neck! Wear them now with a tank or with a strong sheath dress later under a coat, that it hopefully won't play chop shop with.
9. Swimwear cover-up's and sheer clothing. My hope is, you've been wearing your sheer and cover up items responsibly. Swim suit cover ups are not dressed for parties, they are cover ups for swimsuits. (You'd be surprised at the fashion don't's that I've seen this summer). Anyway, get you swim cover up's, swim suits and sheer gear out one last time before it is time to lock all of that skin down.
8. Sandals: DolceVita favs, jellies, flip flops, reefs, whatever your choice is- get your last few wears out of these. After this they get stowed for pedicure days. Be honest, how many 'pedicure days' do you have in the winter?
7. Neon! This was fun this summer. Some of us bought some fun colored nail polish and won't feel the pain that much. I got a few crop tops in neon which is appropriate budgeting for something trendy. Some may have bought pricey neon handbags- we will get into appropriate handbag colors to maximize your collection another day! Either way, rock it now because time is not on your side.
6. Maxi dresses. I absolutely live in these during the summer. There are a *few* that still look great under a Moto jacket during fall. There are some that are in such a thin material, it can only be worn in the high heat. Filter and rock accordingly.
5. Summer dresses. These are cris cross, back out (or back less) spaghetti strap (or strapless) pieces that are for the summer. A dress that you can't wear under a coat in line for a party in 40 degree weather without visibly freezing. That's not cute. Some dresses are summer dresses, dig deep in the closet and wear them all now.
4. Crop Tops. Let's set the record straight. This style is for women or young ladies with flat stomachs. Enough said. If you are still in the running, these could transition into fall but not well. They would probably be covered by a cardi-wrap or Moto jacket. They can be pulled off in a chic way with a high waisted pencil skirt or high waisted jeans. For the most part, wear then now and store for next summer.
3. Sun hats. Not all hats but sun hats. The point is to wear them when it's sunny. L.A. Followers disregard, lucky girls!
2. Denim cut off's. Shorts can still work in the summer, leather shorts with tights, dress shorts with leggings, not denim cut off's. Pack those up for next summer.
1. Glossy stuff. Hate to say it but this fall we are going into matte season. Get yourself a matte topcoat and some matte lipstick. Calm down the shine and the glittery body powder, etc.
Summer is ending quickly so get it in!
God Bless,
Green
