We’ve been averaging 95+ degrees lately so I got dressed yesterday in my usual dress + flats combo (perfect for staying cool) and of course it was pouring rain outside. The obvious lesson here is that I should have checked the weather first. But instead of changing my entire outfit, I just grabbed a scarf and a light cardigan (and of course some booties to get me through the wet walk from my car to the office) and I had myself the perfect outfit… one of my favorite things about transitioning from summer to fall.

What are your go-to items for transitioning to fall?
