Merriam-Webster defines transition as “a change or shift from one state, subject, place, etc. to another.” The Cambridge English Dictionary defines it as “the process of changing, or a change from one form or condition to another.” And Dictionary.com describes transition as “movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another.”

These seem like simple enough definitions to explain a rather profound concept that permeates the entire human experience. Life often seems like it is an endless series of transitions. We are constantly changing from one state to another on the most basic levels as well as on the deepest levels of our existence. We learn from each experience whether it was a planned experience or not. As a result of our experiences, our beliefs and opinions will start to transition as well.

Transitions are essential for personal growth. They are the process by which we apply the lessons we have learned from one experience to our future experiences. Transitions are a required ingredient for evolution. Some transitions are easy while others may be more difficult, but when we are facing a transition point we generally have no choice but to move forward into the unknown with the best of intentions.

“Knowledge is power, and it can help you overcome any fear of the unexpected. When you learn, you gain more awareness through the process, and you know what pitfalls to look for as you get ready to transition to the next level.”

Jay Shetty

We make countless transitions every day as we shift from our morning routine to our daytime routine to our evening routine. When our routines get disrupted, we make transitions to accommodate for the unexpected. As we grow and change and those around us grow and change, it forces transitions on our relationships. As the economy struggles, it forces transitions on our financial approach. As the seasons change, it forces transitions on our wardrobes.

And wasn’t that a fun transition…straight to fashion?

I think we are probably past what would traditionally be called the transitional season when our wardrobes get stuck between summer and fall, but I still have a few transitional outfits to share. I wore this outfit on a cooler summer day back in mid-August but it is something I could easily transition into fall with long sleeves and boots.

I have had this paisley poncho for years and it pairs so perfectly with flared jeans and rope sandals for a very boho vibe which, you know, is my favorite fashion aesthetic. Staying in tune with my hippy heart, I wore three handmade necklaces, handmade earrings, and a handmade hat. (The links to all of my accessory creators are at the end of the post).

This outfit is super basic made special with handcrafted accessories and a fun paisley print. If you are feeling uninspired in your closet, why not try something simple like jeans and a loose fitting top and then pile on your favorite accessories. Sentimental or other special accessories are so great for adding a personal statement to an easy outfit as well as for transitioning a basic look from boring to lively. In addition to accessories, creative layering is a wonderful way to transition your summer favorites into the cooler seasons. Lightweight ponchos can quickly turn into fall clothes by layering a warm turtleneck or cozy sweater underneath and summer dresses are just one blanket scarf away from autumn perfection.
