“Real style is never right or wrong, it’s a matter of being yourself on purpose.”

G. Bruce Boyer

In my post on Tuesday, I shared an outfit that nostalgically reminded me of a favorite childhood sitcom character, Blossom Russo. Today I am sharing an easy restyle of that same outfit which is perfect for transitioning into back to school and fall styles.

I know it is still super hot and humid in most places in the United States, but it is that time of year when we can at least begin to think about what kind of autumn fashions we might be wanting to try.

And y’all know how much I love my tights. As soon as it gets cool enough to start wearing them, I will be showcasing my colorful legs once again! My summertime translucently pale legs are not as fun to show off as are my vibrantly colorful, smooth, hosiery clad gams.

For this restyle, everything is the same except I switched out the dress as a jacket for a navy blue lace up sweater and I traded my sodalite pendant necklace for a paisley neckerchief. And it was a super easy way to create an entirely different outfit.

Wearing tights is also a great way to get additional wear out of your summertime wardrobe. Wear them with shorts or with summer dresses to keep your legs protected from the cool air as the seasons change. There are so many wonderful layering techniques that you can use if you are not ready to put away your summer clothes when fall begins to arrive. All you have to do is think outside the box and try some nontraditional ways of styling your favorite pieces.

“Create your own visual style. Let it be unique for yourself yet identifiable for others.”

Are you ready for transitioning away from your summer wardrobe? I usually am by mid-August. But this year, I feel kind of like I missed out on summer and have so many more cute things to show you! But I do have an entire lifetime to wear all the cute things, so stay tuned!

Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood shared a powerful post, Real Talk: Sex Trafficking, about the reality of sex trafficking in the United States as well as worldwide. I really do think it is so important for bloggers to use our platforms to raise awareness about issues that are meaningful to us. Thank you, Ada, for taking the initiative and addressing such a sensitive and important topic.
