Now that there is a chill in the air on the east coast at night, it is easier for me to get excited about the fall fashion spreads. I am slow to make the transition this fall but I am not concerned since the look is all about layering. Long sleeve shirts are being worn under short sleeve shirts, pants are being worn under dresses, short sweaters over long shirts or tunics and vests are strong again. I will resort to some artful layering until I can get in the groove and mindset to transition my closet. The sandals and skimpy halter tops will be the first to go and capri pants will follow. I will try to get used to the idea of fuller pants this season as well but will still keep the skinny jeans handy for tucking into boots. I’m happy to see chunky knit sweaters are hitting the streets again and I will have to blow the dust off my knitting needles.

It is hard to let go of summer’s long days but fall will bring new energy to everything.
