     As the temperature changes it has us eagerly waiting on the fall festivities slowly approaching. Yes, I’m talking about the late night cuddle sessions in the bed of the truck or on the trampoline, under a cover or two. Even the bonfires, carnivals, pumpkin patches, haunted houses, those Sunday mornings where you just stay cozy in bed with a good book. We’ve all dreamt of those moments once or twice throughout summer, when we’re complaining about the raging heat. Although, the autumnal equinox is on the horizon, it’s still a bit warm out by midday. We can’t help but be excited about transitioning into our flannels, sweaters, vests, and scarves. But before  you get the urge to pack all your summer clothes away, keep reading for some tips and tricks on how to take your summer statements into the fall season. 

Fall is one of our favorite seasons, with that being said we have a tremendous amount of clothing that is essential for milder temperatures. Items that we think are essential for fall are: booties, boots, converse, flats, boot cuffs, leggings, denim jeans, skirts, blazers, faux fur vest, plaid shirts, plaid kimonos (might we mention SpenceandLane boutique have some in-stock), scarves, over-sized sweaters, oversized cardigans, clutch purses, and simple dresses. Many trends are in this fall and most include: stripes, plaid, solid colors (olive green, mustard yellow, burgundy, burnt orange, navy blue, off whites, wine..etc.), denim, fringe, suede, leopard print, and faux fur.

Previously mentioned: Fall is approaching quickly and milder temperatures are on the rise. Over the weekend we decided to take fall pictures.. but there was a problem. What were we going to wear? As we rummaged through our closet we pulled out plaid shirts, striped dresses, body-con dresses and some kimonos but the question we were left with is how are we going to make an outfit out of these pieces? By taking some of the biggest trends (stripes and plaid) this fall we made one outfit. Although it was still warm out we took a casual striped t-shirt dress and paired it with a plaid flannel by tying it around my waist. To make the finishing touches I added a pair of white converse. As the temperatures began to drop throughout the night I untied the flannel from my waist and wore it over the dress, which was still a big hit! This is a great way to look simple and chic at a bonfire, without going overboard.
