loving right now :: almost autumn

First glimpses of autumn collections inspire thoughts that dabble with wearing my summer pieces in ways that hint toward autumn. I get really excited, when I can actually visualize this working well + not feeling forced. The pieces I've been attracted to lately seem to work really well together + would mix well with pieces already in my wardrobe too. I'm having fun putting them all in one place + formulating outfits in my mind. 

Things to wear now: 

• lightweight tank dress 
• pale or black jeans with tanks + tees 
• soft, block printed pants with tanks

Things to wear soon (that hint at autumn): 

• black, button-up tee (unbuttoned) over a tank dress 
• a dark floral blouse with pale jeans
• a tank or tee with a plaid skirt 
• a button-up shirt with the block printed pants

Things to wear a little later:

• black, button-up tee with black or pale jeans 
• dark floral blouse with black jeans
• black, button-up tee or pullover with the plaid skirt
• a turtleneck under the tank dress 
• a pullover over the block printed pants, jeans or tank dress

(pairing these looks with my birks, clog sandals, trainers, mary janes or boots offers lots of variation in look + feel too)

This type of play doesn't usually result in many (if any) purchases, but it may spark thoughts of ways to wear what I already own or allow me to know that a thrift find will serve me well when I come across it, etc. My overarching value is the fairdare, not finding new items to add to my wardrobe.

I like to say every so often that I share things like this here as inspiration for play of your own...with pieces you are attracted to, thoughts toward your style + what is already in your wardrobe.  :) 

Love,
Jane
