Newburyport, MA
This time of year has always been a little tricky for me because it’s still hot outside (August is arguably the hottest month of the year) and yet, all my favorite fashion brands are in full-on fall mode. I’ve been gravitating towards adding jackets and booties to my online shopping cart and yet, it was almost 95 degrees outside the other day when I took these photos…not exactly sweater weather! My mum and I went out to pick up sandwiches at this little spot in Newburyport (the day we took these photos) and we were both sweating just by walking from the car to the shop.
So what am I wearing and shopping for right now? Transitional pieces. I am talking about all those items that you’ll be able to take from summer to fall (and beyond). And the number one thing I would recommend? Flowy dresses. They’re easy to wear bare-legged or with tights and in neutral colors/prints that work for any season.
This leopard printed number from Leela Lavender checks all the boxes. It is lightweight and flowy enough for warm days and works well with layers like a leather jacket or a cardigan. Take 15% anything you love at Leela Lavender with the code: KELLY15.
Some other transitional pieces to stock up on? Tops that make layering easy, jumpsuits that pair well with denim jackets and booties, lightweight jackets, and trousers.
