Something is definitely wrong here.
I’m shopping for boots while wearing a gauzy dress designed to touch my skin as little as possible because it is so hot that fabric feels like a punishment. And stores are filled with sweaters and bikinis. At the same time.
It must be August in Florida, where the same cozy classics that line the shelves of northern department stores with an actual nip in the air find their way onto our shelves, even though the temps still hover around 95 degrees.
But as odd as it seems, August is the perfect time to start shopping for fall and planning those outfits, because by the time the weather catches up, the good stuff will be gone. Plus, if you buy fall clothes now, you’ll be able to wear them longer.
Today, I’m talking about navigating that tricky transition between summer and fall, and how to transition 7 of your favorite summertime staples into chic, wearable fall outfits.
And all of the items can be found at Zara and I’ve put them all in this catalog.
White Jeans
They’re not just for summer, anymore. White or off-white jeans can offer some relief and variety in a fall/winter wardrobe filled primarily with dark neutrals, and are now considered a year-round classic.

Shirtdress
Take your trusty shirtdress from summer to fall with a simple switch of accessories. A shirtdress is a truly seasonless piece that can be style multiple ways.

White Dress
A white cotton dress is a quintessential summer staple, but it can be easily transitioned to fall with a switch of accessories in fall-friendly colors. A jacket takes this piece more firmly into fall.

Short Printed Dress
The short flowy summer dress is a staple on hot days, and whether it’s solid or printed, it can easily be style for fall and winter. Just skip the styles in super summery fabrics like cotton gauze or eyelet for fall.

Jumpsuit
A sleeveless jumpsuit or dress can go from summer to fall with a different kind of layer, a thin tee or turtleneck layered underneath. Switch up the accessories for a fall-friendly outfit.

Summer Blouse
A pretty summer blouse is an absolute essential to dress up basics like shorts, but it works equally well in the fall with jeans and different accessories.

Flowy Summer Skirt
A flowy skirt, often in a print, is a summertime staple for those days when we don’t want to wear shorts, and it’s easy to transition this versatile piece into fall.
