Be Your Own Superwoman

They Say it is Fall but...

It has been relatively warm out lately. As we progress into fall, it gets more confusing about what to wear. And then the temperature starts to flip-flop from warm to cold and back again, which makes it more confusing.

I remember when I was a kid, the seasons pretty much lined up with the Memorial/Labor Day holidays. That meant that back to school was full of excitement and a big shop for your fall wardrobe, which you could pretty much almost wear right away.

Do you remember picking out your first day of school outfit? It was always new and always your favorite. Do you remember that outfit feeling like your supergirl uniform that was going to enable you to be the cool girl or able to make new friends or whatever you wanted your supergirl powers to be?

Well after Labor Day, I am always ready to be out with the old season and in with the new, but this weather still feels like summer. Not that I am complaining, but it is confusing about what to wear and does not encourage the excitement for shopping/ wearing those new fall outfits.

We have heard that many traditional "rules" such as white after Labor Day are being broken. So now seasons are not truly seasons, which makes it even more confusing about what to wear. UGH!

So here are a few of my tips on how to manage this crazy season - which I too can find challenging.

1) If you change your closet over for the season, you may actually want to do 2 changes per season. This season do a fall one and a true winter one much later.

2) Choose to wear darker colors but in lightweight fabrics and with shorter sleeve lengths, so you will feel fallish without being overly warm.

3) Wear transitional shoes. Full-on open-toe sandals will start to be packed away. Although people are wearing boots all year round now, ballet flats, Mary Janes, slip-on sneakers, sling-back, or other shoes that can be worn without socks or tights are great transitional options.

4) One you have probably heard before - Layer. Especially when the temperature may fluctuate drastically from day to evening.

5) Get more use out of those super heavy winter items you wear under a coat and wear them as your fall jacket. These include blazers, heavy cardis, furry vests, and more.

So back to that first day of school outfit and feeling like a supergirl. You can still have that as an adult. And not just for that ONE outfit. Get a wardrobe full of your favorite supergirl outfits that make you feel empowered.  Reach out to me and I will help transform your wardrobe into your version of SUPERWOMAN!
