It comes as no secret that San Francisco has a serious Indian Summer. That said, how do you conquer fall feels with summer weather? It’s all about the layering. I know layering sounds like it would just make you even more overheated, but hear me out. Cooler layers, that is: I like to mix fall fabrics like leather and sheer legwear with summer styles. I’ve been reaching for these faux leather shorts all season, as they go with pretty much anything you can imagine: plaid flannels, turtlenecks, and my favorite mule slides, which are all fall appropriate.
The easiest way to transition your warmer weather pieces into fall includes a great set of statement hose, my personal favorite being fishnets. They won’t cause you to overheat, yet give you that fall-ready approach to styling. Since it’s been extra hot in San Francisco, and here in New York during Fashion Week, I opted for my larger patterned fishnets to give it a covered yet comfortable feel. For an extra pop of fall fashion, trade your sandals for a pair of fun suede booties or over-the-knee boots.
Since it’s been super warm here in the city, I opted for my new favorite mule slides from Nordstrom, and trading my favorite summer bags for this amazing velvet backpack for an added touch of fall feels! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too sure how much I’d use this backpack given the size, however, it’s proved to be a useful staple this past month since I picked it up at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. It holds a surprising amount of stuff: it fit my large Canon DSLR (with a huge lens!) alongside my iPhone 6s Plus, wallet, sunglasses case, and more!
