The calendar might be hinting at fall, but the weather is still very much saying summer! Gingham, eyelet and straw still feel perfectly appropriate for this end of summer outfit, but the black skirt begins to shift the palette toward fall. The cognac braided-leather belt adds warmth and richness, while the cat’s-eye earrings tie back to that deeper brown and introduce just the tiniest hint of autumn. I also swapped sandals for classic cap-toe slingbacks. This is why I love investing in shoes that work across seasons. They can be worn throughout spring, summer and early fall, dressed up or down, and these are comfortable enough for a stroll to the market. Transitional dressing can be as easy as introducing darker colors, warmer textures and a few season-spanning classics. Oh, and let me introduce you to today’s stubborn little co-star, Kit Katterson, Esq., Cattorney at Claw.💕 Shoes are @stuartweitzman Market bag is @juliskaofficial
