1 MissusSmartyPants Personal Profile Style Article Volume 10 Week 37 September 10, 2015 Remember: only the last 4 weeks remain posted! Is It Fall Yet? Ten Essentials for Summer Into Fall With fall colors filling the racks and shelves at your local clothing stores, it s tempting to go on a shopping spree to buy all the latest trends. However, I recommend that you search your closet before rushing to the stores and maxing out your credit cards. Items with summery prints can be packed away until spring comes around, however many summer pieces like strapless dresses, graphic tees and tank tops still work well into the fall. By using only a few key pieces, you can create a a like new fall-like wardrobe without spending a fortune. It s almost sweater weather... Bring it on! S-t-r-e-t-c-h your wardrobe from summer into fall with these 10 items: Dark colored linen (black, chocolate brown, dark green) worn through September, and in some climates, all the way into October White v-neck tees and white button-down shirts both as year-round layering pieces Dark cropped-ankle pants

¾ Sleeve cotton tees and sweaters Denim jackets and vests (blue jean and colored twill) Denim skirts Wrap dresses (in solid dark-colored fabrics) Cardigan sweater sets Scarves (light-weight fabrics)

2 ¾ Sleeve cotton tees and sweaters Denim jackets and vests (blue jean and colored twill) Denim skirts Wrap dresses (in solid dark-colored fabrics) Cardigan sweater sets Scarves (light-weight fabrics) to wrap stylishly around your neck to keep warm Wardrobe basics in darker neutral colors (pencil skirt, jeans, blazers, etc.) Start wearing autumn colors (deeper colors) to replace the summery brights (you ve just put away). Also, purchase (if needed) layering tees and short-sleeved cardigans in rich fall hues, like this season s marsala red, clear purple, gray, mustard yellow, emerald and peacock blue. These handy essentials help you looking stylish during these in-between months (before the weather really turns cold). Wear a vest! During this in-between weather, wear a vest. A vest gives instant style to any basic outfit. Adding a long necklace will create another flattering vertical line to your torso!

4 A cardigan. By far, cardigan sweaters are the most versatile items you can wear during this transition period (summer into fall)...

5 A flyaway cardigan is the perfect layer piece for cool fall mornings... LAYERS! This time of year it s all about LAYERS! Light layers allow you to adjust to the fluctuating temperatures. Add them when it s cool early or late in the day, then remove them when its warms up... Layer two dresses? Why not.

6 That s just what I did a few seasons ago. Here is my two-dress outfit: Layer an open-weave sweater for a stylish-layered look...(don t forget to change your handbag to a rich warm color, like the one shown below)

7 Cropped ankle pants. Continue to wear your cropped pants (mid-weight fabrics) if they are in darker colors. They are perfect for extending into fall. Even though these outfits below are with pumps and flats...you will want to add BOOTS to these outfits as the weather cools! Wear pretty blouses! The days of sweltering heat are finally over. Now is the time to wear a dainty blouse that makes you look and feel feminine!

8 Texture! Wear a tweed skirt or slack and get started enjoying fall right now. Add a bright top and your look is simply fabulous.
